Great stuff. That's my group read and A-Z for this month sorted. I've managed to get the one I was missing too, Virgin Blue from bookmooch. They all looked good though.

Paw prints on my heart.

I read this one a couple of years ago - it's very weird but a compelling read!

l agree with you Alison they did all look good books and l had two on my TBR, l have the winner coming from play.trade and am tempted to get the other books at some point.

I have had this book on my TBR pile for at least a year so this is good motivation for me to read it!

Good news for you ladies........the November selection will be books which came a close second place in the polls throughout the year so that books which "look like good books" get another chance at being chosen.

Well l might have read the ones that l have by then, l might have to make notes just in case they get chosen. :q27:

l finished my copy yesterday and it's now on it's way to Allie so she can borrow it. l have decided it's a keeper and can't wait for the discussions either, it brought back feelings l used to have 20 years or more ago.

Would I be able to get it for stamps, please? I love joining in with the group read, but I'm not swapping at the mo so can't get a copy otherwise!
