Ann Maz has chosen the same book as me - The Boleyn Inheritance. Shall I change my book? I'm going out this evening so it may be tomorrow before I can change it Jeanette x

Jeanette, yes I realised that. It would be silly not to change it because that would mean two of you can't vote for it. so if you can come up with another one it would help. still no word from dee, how strange, do hope she is OK. Ann Glos

Ooh Jill, I love Penny vincenzi's books, real blockbusters! Ann Glos

Hiya Greaders I am just going to text Dee. xx Jen

Dee is fine, just busy at mo. Phew! xx Jen

Just putting this back on page one and good morning to you all xx Jill

I’m not on my own computer at the moment so the best I can do is resubmit some of the books I have put forward before, and that I still want to read. Sorry to have had you worried. I will be back on my own computer tonight ;-)) Mother Country – Jeremy Harding When Jeremy Harding was a child, his mother Maureen told him he’d been adopted. As he got older, he wondered about the identity of his biological parents, and eventually embarked on a quest to find them. Mother Country is a powerful true story, full of thrilling revelations, comic confusion and tender memories, about a man looking for the mother he’d never known and finding out how little he knew about the one he’d grown up with ---------------------------------------------------------------- The Earl of Petticoat Lane – Andrew Miller When Henry Freedman met Miriam Claret in 1929, he was a barrow boy and she was a milliner’s apprentice. In 1953, they were presented to the Queen. A rags to riches story ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Madame Bovary - Gustave Flaubert Synopsis The central character of this story is the bored wife of a provincial doctor whose desires and illusions are shattered. The author vents his profound contempt for the bourgeois mentality, but betrays a certain sympathy for the human frailty of Emma Bovary. Dee x

that's good Dee, pleased you are OK. Thanks Jen. Now we just have TOR, Daisy, Lorraine and Kaz to give suggestions. As I said last month if suggestions are not in by 5pm today the vote will go ahead regardless. I hope you all understand that I don't have time to be continually chasing. Ann Glos

Ann Just to let you know TOR is away for a few days Jax xx

Ann - With the time difference, 5 pm is 4 am here, so I am not sure when I will get online to vote, hopefully during my lunch hour - anyone want to attend a meeting - to do my voting - Michelle

Michelle, there will be 24 hours to vote. vote announced 5pm UK time Monday 23rd. Ann Glos

Two completely different books and a very brief synopsis. Shopaholic and Baby by Sophie Kinsella Hilarious chic lit - latest in the series. Ice Road by Gillian Slovo 'An epic intertwining of lives and vast political events....wonderfully evocative'. Set in St Petersburg, Russia. Classic Persuasion by Jane Austen
