On Sunday 17th, October, we’ll post a number from 1 through 20. The challenge is to read whatever book falls under that number on your Spin List by the 12th December, 2021. That’s an eight week reading window for this spin. You may like to stack your list with books that you know are do-able for you within that time frame.

I’ve had to put only (or mostly) very short ones on my spin list for a while now. The COVID lockdown took away big books. I’m getting some traction with print reading finally, but it isn’t going that well. Thank heaven for audios!

I’m pulling for the Wharton, just because I love her! But Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde would be so timely spooky. Good luck!
