Oh, oh, oh! Can I HALF join? LOL - I like reading but not sure if I could commit fully - Can I give it a go and see how I get on? I'll nip up the library tomorrow and see if I can get the books. Mags xx

Thanks all, I'll have a look at the other threads later, and maybe look for the books on ebay lol. I get most of my shopping that way hehe.

everyone is welcome :-)))) you only need to read one of the books if that's all the time you have - no need to try and struggle through all 3 (I never do!!) Maz. XX

Anne are numbers next to titles scores for books read. I emailed you and you said anyone can join so i'll try to get my hads on books. Do you need to read all books in list by a certain date or just so many?, and do you just post review on message board (general topics) as you can see Im very new to this. Regards Elizabeth.

Elizabeth yes the numbers next to the books were the number of votes scored for that book. We each vote for two novels and one classic and we can't vote for our own choice. You may choose to read one two or three of the books that win. On 31st of this month we will review any that have been read. And I am going to fail this month because I have only read a few pages of Byzantium so far. I would advise anyone coming late to this months choice to avoid Byzantium because it is a BIG book. I intend to stop and read Brave New World. Mags just join in as and when you can. Join in at the start of the month with any suggestions you have (two novels one classic), then just review any that you manage to read at the review date. We don't run by hard nd fast rules here! As I said before, putting 'greaders' into search brings up all previous threads so you can read previous reviews. Ann Glos

don't forget reviews on 31st ( Wednesday next week)..Look out for the thread. Ann Glos

I shall probably re-join you all next month (June) - would have liked to have read the Stephen Lawhead one as I've already read a few of his books, but there's no way I could get through it in time - I will be interested to read the reviews of it though. I will have a scan of the books you've already done and see if I can suggest anything for June. Look forward to joining in. Kaye x

you will be very welcome Kaye. Unfortunately so far I have only managed Brave New World, so many other things to do this month. Will try to do better next month and do intend reading Byzantium as I have got it. Ann Glos

I have a confession to make - I may not be able to read one of them this month. I have nearly run out of time. And I am not very good at doing the review either (imho) especially after reading the reviews last month.

Not sure what you mean about the reviews Joy but it is not a competition, we just like to know what people thought of the book. I am sure you would manage. ann Glos

Thank you, Ann. I enjoyed reading other people's reviews. If I can't do it this month, I'll try the next time.

Hi Ann, Brave New World finished, am hacking my way through Witchfinders! It is a bit tough lol but interesting! Someone else is sending me their reviews to add too I hope! Joy, don't worry, just put whether you liked it or not and why ! Maz. XX

My its been hard to fit in reading this month managed Brave New World and started Byzantium but no way will it be finished in time for the end of the month the book's sooooo long Norah
