Classics Club Spin

https://theclassicsclubblog.wordpress.com/2016/03/03/the-classics-spin-12/

I'm participating in the next Classics Club Spin. This requires listing twenty books from my list, then next week a random number will be announced and I have to read whichever book is that number on the list. (Click on the picture to find out more.) I've tried to include a mixture of books that I'm looking forward to reading and books that I'm slightly apprehensive about.
  1. Watership Down by Richard Adams
  2. Rose in Bloom by Louisa May Alcott
  3. Lorna Doone by R.D. Blackmore
  4. Agnes Grey by Anne Brontë
  5. My Antonia by Willa Cather
  6. In the High Valley by Susan Coolidge
  7. A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
  8. The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle
  9. Sylvia's Lovers by Elizabeth Gaskell
  10. The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge
  11. Cotillion by Georgette Heyer
  12. Elizabeth Captive Princess by Margaret Irwin
  13. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
  14. The Light Princess and Other Stories by George MacDonald
  15. Jane of Lantern Hill by L.M. Montgomery
  16. The Story Girl by L.M. Montgomery
  17. Ivanhoe by Walter Scott
  18. Lark Rise to Candleford by Flora Thompson
  19. The Painted Garden by Noel Streatfeild

    Fun list! To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorites but any of these would be great. :)

      I'm hoping to get around to reading that soon, so it would be good if it came up :)

    Some wonderful choices here, as well as some I've never heard of -- Elizabeth Captive Princess?? Welcome to the Club!

      Thanks :) I know some of these books are a little bit obscure :)

    Lark Rise is on my list also! And from your list, I hope you get either My Antonia, To Kill a Mockingbird, or The Hound of the Baskervilles. I haven't read Cotillion but I've loved most everything by Georgette Heyer, so that would be a great spin pick too. Good luck on Monday!

    Oooo, how to choose?! Cather is wonderful and you can't really go wrong with Goudge. I have Ivanhoe on my Classics Club list but didn't get it for this spin. Rats. I've been really wanting to read it. In any case, I hope you have the best spin ever!

    My Antonia is wonderful and I will always always have a soft spot for Watership Down.

    I have some Sherlock Holmes ahead of me too, but not yet.

    Happy spinning :-)
