2006's winners for those who are curious were...

 

WINNER:My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult

IN SECOND PLACE:The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

IN THIRD PLACE:We Need to talk About Kevin - Lionel Shriver

AND TRAILING IN LAST PLACE:The Time Traveller's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger

 

so it looks as though both khaled hosseini and jodi picoult are proving to be two of our favourite authors on RISI -still need to read a jodi picoult, i have one on my TBR pile....

Oooo I have the winner on my TBR, I guess I should read it soon if it's that good...

I certainly enjoyed it Jo, and it doesn't seem as if I was the only one!

I've read all of them and would thoroughly recommend all of them.  With A Thousand Splendid Suns on the Richard and Judy Winter Reads list and now available really cheaply, I have a feeling it will feature strongly in this year's nominations too, well I hope so!  Thank you Mark for orgainising all of this.

I do too and have bumped it up to my next book to read....well next book but one possibly

Seems I need to bump 19 minutes up my TBR, it's the only one I haven't read!

Snap Sarita, me too.  I've been trying to read them in published order but must bump it up now.  As for the others, I loved them all.  

I was lucky enough to hear Diane Setterfield read from and talk about The Thirteenth Tale last year, she also signed my copy for me.  She speaks as well as she writes - there is a great story behind the writing of the book.  From what she said though, I fear it may be a while before her next book arrives!

 Thanks Mark for all your hard work on this.
 

Have only just finished reading Thirteenth Tale, so that's a good start isn't it? Think the others may be on my TBR.....

havent read the winning one but glad jodi was in there

I haven't read any of them, but The Thirteenth Tale is on my wishlist.

I must admit to not having read the others in the final, but I really loved The Thirteenth Tale!

I've only read The Kite Runner, although The Book Thief is coming on a bookring.  WIll keep eye open for Thirteenth Tale as everyone else thinks its so good

I have the winner on my tbr pile too as do I have thousand splendid suns, loved 19 mins and the book thief.....

I read 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' and thought it was much better than The Thirteenth Tale. We discussed it at my book group and I found it really though provoking.

I've got Nineteen Minutes in my TBR pile.  I guess I should get cracking!
