It's the beginning of a new month which means it's time to play Six Degrees of Separation. This meme is hosted by Kate of Books Are My Favourite and Best. The aim is to link six books to each other from the starting point.
This month we're playing a wild card. The starting point is the book you’ve ended last month’s chain with or for those playing for the first time, start with the last book you finished reading. Even though I've participated before, this is my first time this year. So, I'm bending the rules a little to start with the last book I finished reading in July: The Lily in the Snow by Jackie French. This is the third and latest book in her

Here we are in July, which means it's time to participate in this fun meme hosted by Jo @ The Book Jotter.
SIX IN SIX is a meme where the aim is to share in July six books in six categories from the books we have read etc. in the first six months of the year, either using Jo's categories or your own.
This year I decided to stick to five of the six categories I used last year and swapped "Six Trips to Europe and the U.K." with "Six books that are related to The Great War or Second World War".

The result of the Spin has been announced. It is number 19!
This means my book for this Spin is My Love Must Wait by Ernestine Hill, a fictional biography of Captain Matthew Flinders, an English navigator, who circumnavigated and gave Australia it's current name.
This book has been sitting on my bookshelf for quite a while, just waiting for the write moment for me to read it. Thanks to the Spin, that moment has come.
Although I wasn't wishing for any particular number to come up, I am happy with the outcome of this Spin.
Now all I have to do is read the book and write a review by the deadline, 31st May, 2019.
It's time for another Classics Club Spin!
I don't have a good track record with the Classics Club Spins so I'm hopeful that this time I'll finish reading my selection and actually post a review.
