If I had managed to vote it would have made a difference so that is ok.
I would have voted for The favoured Child and Sovereign just to let you know where my votes would have gone.

Hi everyone, got my computer back one tuesday afternoon. It had been fixed.
Got used to it again on Wednesday.

Thursday it lost its internet connection!

Came back on-line yesterday, (after nearly three weeks, I think) Not holding my breath, but will try to get and read both books.

Will now mark review date on the calender.

I couldn't even request The Glass Painters Daughter from Birmingham Libraries. Tried last Wednesday but none of them have it in stock.

Managed to get the other one though, will start reading it next week.

Hi Helen, finished both choices.

Tess, shame you couldn't get the glass painter's daughter, if I had been reading my book I would have sent it to you but it was my daughters, great book too (I thought).

I am about half way through The Virgin Blue, finding it hard going at times.

AnninGlos Report 22 Jun 2009 12:01

This was my second time of reading Virgin Blue and I enjoyed it much more than the first time.
