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

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

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.

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

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

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 Michelle

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

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!!

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

My vote goes to Emma Ann Glos

Wives and daughters please ;-))
