Okay Ann, thank-you.

It's a good job Wolf Hall didn't win - there are 136 reserves on it at my library!!!!!!!

I am away for the whole of May, so unless I can pick up any of the books from charity shops (so I can leave them in Tenerife, I am not sure what I will be reading. I will though be reading the ones I suggested as I already have those so I will review them if I can't pick up the others cheaply.
Travels with my Aunt is, I think, an old one so should be available in libraries.

Thanks Ann, I have seen this, will be going to the Library in the next few days.

Enjoy your holiday.

Can borrow the first one from a friend and have the other two

I've got the first sitting on my bookshelf - has been there about three years waiting for me to read, will wait until I've finished that before I see about a second book.

Michelle

I have to say Ann

There are some good titles in the list and worth a read even though not chosen.

( sorry, couldn't resist taking a peek)

Thanks Ann

Has been years since I read Travels with My Aunt - but will revisit it.

Happy reading everyone

cheers

Persey

Susan you are welcome to visit us. Do read and comment too if you wish.

Thank you once again Ann will try to get all three and have a good read.

Enjoy you holiday.

Managed to get the girl with the dragon tattoo in Tesco at £3.86 today.

A third of the way through it now!!

Went to the library today to try to get Travels with my Aunt and Girl with the Dragon Tatoo. I couldn't find either of them, so have requested both.
Should get Travels with my Aunt quite soon, BUT ....

there is a queue for Dragon Tatoo, and I am 61st in the queue! They seem to have quite a few copies, which are all out on loan at the moment. So perhaps I will get it in a month or so.

It was well worth the £3.86, two thirds of the way through now. Try charity shops Tess, it has been out a while.

Do you have your atlas out Ann? - my OH is reading it and I see he has the atlas there alongside it.

No I just read the book, hadn't got a clue where they were half the time!!!!

finished it now.

I've just read in the national paper here that the Auckland City Library has 400 people waiting to read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Just as well I bought my copy years ago.

Just as well I don't live in Auckland then, (although I have wanted to live in New Zealand since I was ten).

I thought that it was bad enough here in the West Midlands of England. Will be asking friends and family. in case they have a copy I can borrow.
Will also look in Charity Shops.

I got The Widow Ginger from my local charity shop, in a deal three for a pound. So I might get lucky (again).
