THE CLASSICS CLUB SPIN #20: The Number Has Been Announced!

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.

THE CLASSICS CLUB SPIN #20

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.
