Classics Club Spin

I'm so excited about my quest to adventure back into book blogging. I missed the deadline for the Classics Club spin list - it was due by 12/11 - but I'm participating nonetheless. 

I have a list of 100 books on my Storygraph account. The list is divided into 50 options. Each option has two books and that is simply because I got tired of making prompts for every dang book. My goal is to read 50 of the books from the list between 1/1/2023 and 12/31/2027. 

The Classics Club spin encourages participants to list twenty books from their list of books to read. Then the CC folks select one number at random and readers attempt to read the chosen book from their list by 1/29/2023. 

Since I am late in posting this, I'm listing my 20 books and then peeking at the number and listing the chosen book. Scouts honor, I'm not cheating.

2. Zofloya by Charlotte Dacre
