The books for October are: The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins with 5 votes A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson with 3 votes. Number of votes for each posted on other thread. Please signify when you have seen this. Thanks Ann Glos

Seen, Ann. Do we have to read in any order, or is the choice ours? Sheila PS Off to Scottish Meet, so won't be back on until tomorrow. Sheila

Thanks Ann - that's a good result for me as I already have A Walk in the Woods. Kaye x

Thanks Anne, Am also wondering if we have to read one or other of them first? Cheers Kaz

We just pick one of them to read - it's so we get a choice, rather than possibly being stuck with one book we don't want to read. This way if you don't like Bill Bryson you can try Wilkie Collins instead. Kaye x

OK Ann looking forward to reading but what happens if you can't get a hold of either? Norah

Hi Ann.... Obviously, I didn't vote but I have another book by one of the Authors on the list.... Dance with a poor Man's Daughter by Pamela Jooste So I will review that one when the time comes if that is OK. Happy reading everyone I shall look forward to your reviews. Jacquie xxxxx

Have checked and Redditch have a copy of The Moonstone, so next time I go in will go and borrow it. I have read Bill Bryson's book and one or two others, more my sort of reading as not really into fiction, but we will see how we get on. Read The Woman in White for my O' Level and enjoyed it. Ros.

I have ordered the Moonstone from the library. So now have to wait until it comes in. Jacqui, by all mean review the book you have to read. I was going to suggest you put one of the books you have there on the list to see if it gets voted for. maybe next time. Everyone: Read either one or both. Remember this is for the next two months reading so that we can catch up. Read and review one by 27th October and the second by 27th November. it doesn't matter in which order, or if you prefer to only read one. You should be able to order either from the library if you are a member. The Bill Bryson is still in stock in places like Ottakers. Don't know about the Moonstone. If you really, really have trouble getting either then please review a book of your choice for us on either or both dates. Any other questions please ask. Ann Glos

Hi Ann I have just got hold of a copy of Wilkie Collins, now to find time to read it!!!! Dee xx

Thank you all who voted for the Moonstone as I soooo wanted to read it and couldn't vote for it myself! Hopefully I will read both in time. Maz. XX
