The spin number is 2. It is an author I wanted to read for some time; Willa Cather and her Death Comes for the Archbishop. I have already downloaded an ebook version for Nextory, to which I recently subscribed. Only because they provide you with both ebooks and audiobooks. I must admit it is very comfortable to download a book when you want to read it.
I hope you got an interesting book for this month's spin. Enjoy.
Nice. It's a great rather short book. My favorite by her is My Antonia. I got poems by Rilke: https://wordsandpeace.com/2022/09/19/the-classics-club-what-i-got-for-the-classics-spin-31/
ReplyDeleteSounds good with a short book, I have so many books to read now during a rather short time. Rilke is someone I have to get acquainted with.
DeleteI chose not to do the last couple of spins since I was already reading a classic, Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser. I enjoyed Death Comes for the Archbishop a lot when I read it in 2016. My review is here, if you are interested: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1663930584.
ReplyDeleteI have not participated either for quite some time. I read your review, and from what I have heard from others as well, this is a nice little book. I like the different setting. Since I am a fan of historical fiction, I am sure I will enjoy this one.
DeleteNice. I have only read two books, one not so good but one I really loved, "My Ántonia". I think you will enjoy this one.
ReplyDeleteMy book is one that I am sure you have read already: Shirley by Charlotte Brontë. In any case, I always have to think about you when I think about the Brontës.

DeleteMarianne, yours is the second recommendation for My Antonia, so I guess I will put it on my classic list as well. Haha, thank you. I have read it, but don't like it so much. Although, the writing of Charlotte Brontë is so nice, it is a pleasure to read anyway.
