The number picked was #13, so I will be reading A Kiss Before Dying (1953) by Ira Levin in January. Ira Levin is well-known for some horror novels and suspenseful stories, so I have not tried any of his books yet. It will be interesting.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-26347415640399573302019-12-23T09:30:18.438-08:002019-12-23T09:30:18.438-08:00Nice list Tracy.

I did pick Much Ado about Nothing because I had seen both versions of the play that you mentioned, and I think that will help with the reading. Whatever comes up on the spin, I think I will be glad.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-10327220962788187622019-12-18T21:48:11.135-08:002019-12-18T21:48:11.135-08:00Thanks, Deb, Wrinkle in Time would be a good one t...Thanks, Deb, Wrinkle in Time would be a good one to read soon.
