The Classics Club got another challenge it's called "The Classics Spin" - the idea is to tackle our-fear on several readings that had been on the pile too long, and this is just for fun but also can be another 'excuses' or I can said it as the kick-off to remind our self on our progress in reading challenge. How about the rules ? It's quite simple, just follow this instruction below : [ or you can check on the main post in HERE ]
- Go to your blog.
- Pick twenty books that you’ve got left to read from your Classics Club List.
- Try to challenge yourself: list five you are dreading/hesitant to read, five you can’t WAIT to read, five you are neutral about, and five free choice (favorite author, rereads, ancients — whatever you choose.)
- Post that list, numbered 1-20, on your blog by next Monday.
- Monday morning, we’ll announce a number from 1-20. Go to the list of twenty books you posted, and select the book that corresponds to the number we announce.
- The challenge is to read that book by April 1, even if it’s an icky one you dread reading! (No fair not listing any scary ones!)
So here is my Book Spin List from The Classics Club Project :
- The Adventures of Hucklebery Finn - Mark Twain *

**** : It's been awaiting so long in my list, don't know why I'm hesitant / a little-bit scare to start reading it.
Now, I have to wait for the next Monday to find-out what's gonna be my next reading project ....whohoho, between excited and a little-bit scary too (^_^)
Best Regards,
Good luck - fingers crossed and let the games begin!!

DeleteYou have some nice classics there. I just finished Jane Eyre re-read myself a few days ago, once you get into the book, it goes flying :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Riv, I'm just finished watching the movies too :D that's as far I can go, the main reason I'm so afraid 'coz after reading her sister's works "Wuthering Heights" -- I'm got gloomy looks in my face for a weeks (-__-)
DeleteJane Eyre was written by Charlotte Bronte not Emily :)
ReplyDeleteDooo...typo-typo *with-blushing-checks*
DeleteThanks for remind me on this mistake :D
