Wives and daughters please ;-))

My vote goes to Emma Ann Glos

Emma - read it for A level which spoilt it for me lol so it would be nice to see if it really is as boring as I remember !! Maz. XX

oh and thank you to everyone who voted for Lady of Hay :-) only one to get from the library this month as I have LoH and Emma here already (if Emma is chosen!) Maz. XX ps please try and get hold of The Observations - it's fantastic!!

I have already read Lady of Hay, has to be one of my most favourite books (don't let that put you off Maz). I don't have either of the others. As we go away Tuesday for four weeks I can't rely on the library so I may not read any of the choices this month, unless I can get into town on Monday and find Gentlemen and Players or Emma in a charity shop. I will read the Lilian Harry one I suggested anyway as it didn't get enough votes to put up again, and probably Virgin Blue. Ann Glos

Emma please Michelle

The trouble with having such a long list of readers, there are 14 of us now, is that it takes so long to finish a vote/review thread etc. Could I ask all of you to please bear this in mind and to watch for the thread on the designated date. This time 16th March. I put it on my calendar so I don't forget. I am not complaining about the long list, it is lovely to have so many interested, but I spent nearly all day yesterday just monitoring the thread. Ann Glos

Emma please .... If I can do 2 books this month I will but I can't promise Have a lovely holiday Ann and enjoy the rest. Love M x

Wives and Daughters for me! Have a good holiday Ann Jeanette x

Sorry if I've held people up, but I work nights and have just woken up. Will have to vote for Emma (As Wives and Daughters was my choice) Already have a copy of Gentlemen and Players in the ' waiting to be read' pile. (lucky!) Ann I think you would really enjoy 'Virgin Blue' I can recommend it, but didn't vote for it as I've already read it. Hvae a lovely time on your hols. Alfie.

Thank you Alfie, you were not by any means last. still 6 to come. Ann Glos

sorry for the delay i ll vote for Emma please looks like a trip to the library tomorrow as i dont have any of these 3 - wish me luck lol

I'd like to vote for wives and daughters please

goodness this is slow going, like watching paint dry! Thanks to those who have come on here so far. Hopefully the rest will appear when they get in from work.

Sorry - been at work today I vote for Emma - largely because I have a copy so know I'll be able to get hold of at least 1 of the books! Picked up The Bells of Burracombe at the library this afternoon so will be reading that as well Ann even though it didn't get many votes. I like Lilian Harry. Kate

Emma , please. Tina

OK folks there are 14 of us. Results so far Emma 8 Wives & daughters 3 3 to vote. By my reckoning Emma has to win as even if the 3 vote for W & D it still would not be 8 So Emma it is. Goodness what a marathon that was! Ann Glos

Hi Ann and all the GReaders I am back (yaaaay for t'internet) and have seen books for this month really pleased with the choices. I won't vote cos I wasn't here for first round! Happy reading everyone! Kaz ;o)))
