The Classics Club Spin is a brilliant way of knocking down a book from your to-read list for the Classics Club challenge. In short, the idea is to select 20 books from your list that still need to be read, and share them in a post before the 8th of February 2026. Then, on Sunday, they will post a random number, and whatever book falls on that number you will have to read by March 29, 2026.

My 20 books are as follows in no particular order:
- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
- Anne of Green Gables by L.M Montgomery
- The Waves by Virginia Wolf
- Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
- Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
- Peter Pan by J.M Barrie
- Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
- The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot
- East of Eden by John Steinbek
- Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
- Persuasion by Jane Austen
- Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
- Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
- A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
- The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
- Emma by Jane Austen
- Mere Christianity by C.S Lewis
- Eight Cousins by Lousia May Alcott
- Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell
- Middlemarch by George Eliot
There are a few repeating authors, and I have actually added 3 additional books to my original list, which I am looking forward to reading. Not going to lie, I am very excited and happy to be tackling the classics I have put off reading for so long.
There is something special about books written a long time ago, when everything and everyone was different, and their imagination was still intact, vivid and not polluted by today’s influx of information and whatnot. Maybe it’s just me, but I think I should have been born in the 19th century, haha, it is just so fascinating to me.
Would you join this challenge? Do you enjoy reading classic books, and if you had to choose, which era would you have liked to be born in?
