  1. Welcome back, Jean! And in good time too, for the Spin.. :)
    The Black Arrow is the next Stevenson I'd love to read, so I hope you'd get that.
    Congratulations on completing the TBR challenge, and good luck with the spin!

    1. Thanks, Fanda! I want it to be the Black Arrow too. I'm in the mood for some old-school children's classics!

  3. I enjoy seeing what other folks have on their lists. I don't recognize many of yours, but we do have one that's the same: It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis.

    1. Nice! I promised myself I would read that one this year and if it doesn't get picked that probably won't happen...

  4. Selfishly I hope you get the Turgenev. First Love is gorgeous. What a list!

  5. The Black Arrow. This time for sure! ;-)

    Though The Leopard is awfully good.

    1. Cross your fingers! I don't know that I have any really scary ones on the list this time, though. One time I got Faulkner's Light in August and that was awful.

  6. You always have such interesting lists! I'm rooting for The Leopard for you, as I thought it one of the absolute best books I read in 2021. Whatever you spin, enjoy!
