Spinsters Library 2023-04-06 | I wrote and recorded rock songs based on classic novels. Don't ask why.

You can listen to the songs here on the FAWM website until the end of March 2023: write.fawm.org/@claudia
(UPDATE: This video was held by YouTube on a false copyright claim for a month, so unfortunately by the time you see this, the FAWM website is already inactive. You can still hear the songs by clicking the link below)
