Please try and read at least one of the ones that came first as that is the pount of the vote. However if you can also read and review any of the others in the top 4 that would be good. :-) :-)

As I already have Paris Wife and Thursdays in the park I will read those two but will get at least one of the others.

Seen thanks, I can get 100 Names from the local library so will start from there and see how I go - Michelle

Thanks Ann
For anyone with a Kindle 'Thursdays in the Park' is only 20p at the moment!

Thanks Ann, will read mine too if I get the chance

Sorry I am late in seeing this but Ann knows the reason.
Have noted date and will sort out books

I'm off to a different Library this afternoon.
Will be taking the book listt with me, having markd the =1st, =2nd and the two other books that got votes.
Wish me luck.


Tess

(I promise to do my best!).

Good luck Tess, hope you get at least one of them.

Was a bit early for the dentist so popped into the charity shop and there on the shelf was The Paris Wife for £1 - result! Almost made it worth going to the dentist.

Son took me to the library. Its the one I used befor I got married and left home, but haven't used it since then.

I remembered to take my "greaders Book" plus four paperbacks .... three library books, and one I had got from a charity shop!
That meant that I had left a library book at home. (and I thought that I was organised for a change).

The library had changed a lot, which is not surprising as it is over forty years since I was last there.

When going in, I saw a notice which said something about due to internet system changes they couldn't reserve books at the moment.

There is a lot moe "stuff" there than on my last visit including a community room, lots of tables, and comfortable arm chairs, computers, etc.

However, they don't seem to have a big selection of fiction books.

None of the "top four" or "other two" were in stock....... :-(

Then just looked for books by authors on the (complete) list. Found a couple by Cecelia Ahern, so came away with one.

When I started to read it I realised that I'd read it before! :-S

Not once, but twice ! :-S :-S

I had forgotton about it, which is rather ironic as it is called .....................

"Thanks for the Memories"

I liked it the first and the second time, but don't think that I will read it this time.

Can now only borrow books for three weeks, so the books are due back on 4th Feb. Perhaps next time I will have more luck. :-D :-D

Well done Pammy and commiserations Tess.

I shall look out for One Hundred Names - it could be interesting

Nearly finished it and would recommend it.

Welcome to the thread, we next review the books in February, feel free to join us :-)

Thank you Ann, I will ;-)

I should have guessed really. Welcome back Dee

For anyone with a Kindle Thursday in the Park is now free or was last friday :-D

Thank you Ann :-)

:-) :-) Dee.

thank you Hayley. I have it on mine already but useful for people to know as it was on the list last time.
