The Juniper Bush by Audrey Howard 11 Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden 1111 Don’t Wake Me At Doyles – Maura Murphy 11 The Stranger House – Reginald Hill 1 Faithless by Karen Slaughter 1 The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists' by Robert Tressall 1 Mark Wallington - 500 Mile Walkies 11 Gentlemen & Players by Joanne Harris 1 Classic D H Lawrence sons and Lovers 11 The Vicar of Wakefield by Oliver Goldsmith 1 Lorna Doone by R D Blackmore 1111 So Memoirs of a Geisha and Lorna Doone clear winners. Tying in second place were The Juniper Bush Don't wake me at Doyles and 500 mile walkies. Do we want another vote on those or do youw ant to chose which one out of the three to read? Ann Glos

Hi Ann, being purely selfish, I am happy with the 2 choices and to make my own choice for the third book (that way I get to read two of the books I selected, Lorna Doone and Don't Wake Me At Doyles) If we have another vote I can't vote for one I selected ;-))

AnninGlos Report 2 Jul 2006 21:25

well I also am happy with the books chosen and to make my own choice from the tied books, then I also can choose one of my books. I have read 500 mile walkies anyway so would not want to repeat it. Ann Glos

Hiya, I'm happy with those 2 as well - am halfway thru the latest Sue Grafton and must read the James Patterson I borrowed off my friend very soon too, so I think 2 will be enough! Maz. XX

I'm happy with that - I shall definitely read Memoirs of a Geisha as I already have it and if I get time I may have a stab at Lorna Doone or 500 Mile Walkies - when I can find my copy. Kaye x

Hi Lorraine Welcome aboard, We review the books at the end of each month, and then put forward books for the next month. We have read quite a variety over the last year, if you search for Greaders you can read some of the reviews and see what we have been reading Dee ;-))
