Well, I have been rather slow lately – I did complete the last spin, but a couple of weeks after I was supposed to, and am still to write my review. The book assigned was the longest on my list: The History of Tom Jones: A Foundling – 877 pages long. It was an effort but I did enjoy it. Now to the next spin, which will be posted on Sunday 18 July, and the book selected will need to be read by August 22.
Here is my list:
| 1 | Anonymous | Beowulf |
| 2 | Blackmore, RD | Lorna Doone |
| 3 | Buchan, John | The Thirty-Nine Steps |
| 4 | Cather, Willa | O Pioneers |
| 5 | Cao, Xueqin | The Story of the Stone V2 – The Crab-Flower Club |
| 6 | Defoe, Daniel | Robinson Crusoe |
| 7 | Dickens, Charles | Barnaby Rudge |
| 8 | Dumas, Alexandre | The Three Musketeers |
| 9 | Eliot, George | Adam Bede |
| 10 | Forster, EM | A Passage to India |
| 11 | Gaskell, Elizabeth | North and South |
| 12 | Graves, Robert | I, Claudius |
| 13 | Hardy, Thomas | The Trumpet-Major |
| 14 | Harrower, Elizabeth | The Watchtower |
| 15 | Hugo, Victor | Notre-Dame of Paris |
| 16 | Maugham, W Somerset | Of Human Bondage |
| 17 | Stark, Freya | Alexander’s Path |
| 18 | Trollope, Anthony | The Warden |
| 19 | Trollope, Anthony | Miss Mackenzie |
| 20 | Wyss, Johann David | The Swiss Family Robinson |
I loved Beowulf, The Warden and Robinson Crusoe. But all your list looks great. Best of luck!

Swiss Family Robinson–be sure to get the original translation –soooooooooooooooo much better than the hacked up modern versions. https://www.amazon.com/Family-Robinson-Penguin-Classics-2007-05-29/dp/B01FGKWJ84/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Swiss+Family+Robinson+penguin+classics&qid=1616721807&sr=8-1
