Edited by pennyt:  I lost all the text in this post when I stickied the thread - I hope I've put back all the important things but if not, huge apologies!!

Read one of them and thought it was wonderful and got the other on my TBR pile.  Decisions, decisions.... Two fabulous choices.  The final choice is going to be very hard if they are all of this calibre.

Do we get a final vote on the Feb books?  I'm confused ....it doesn't take much....

to kill a mockingbird by harper lee

Got 'My Sisters Keeper' on my tbr pile and have never read 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. 

You are definately missing a good read if you don't read To Kill A Mocking Bird.

I have read my Sisters Keeper and someone today requested a swap from me, so I have taken their "To Kill a Mockingbird". I'd heard of it, but never read it, so thought I should give it a try.
