Ann, I rarely buy the books suggested, I order them online from the Kent library site and if Kent doesn't have it (like "Lost" last month) then usually they can bring it in from somewhere else - my copy of "Lost" came to my little town from Milton Keynes. Usually it's 25p to reserve a book and they email you when it's arrived. Books from out of area are £2.00 or £2.50, I think.

I'm sure your library offers the same scheme. Hope this helps.

I hope the Red Queen is not going to prove a problem. On Amazon it is a bit confusing as to whether the paperback edition is out yet. There seems to be one edition then another paperback says due April 2011. If it is only in hardback it will be impossible to get from the library as nobody buys hard backs these days, and certainly I wont. I will have to see.

Perse, if you can't get the winners read any of the others.

Have read the three that have two votes, and enjoyed them all.

Will definitely read Jodi Piccoult
and will try The Red Queen, if the library has it.

Cheers

Thanks Ann. I am now off to see if my sis (or her daughter) have got the Judy Picoult boof, (as I know they are fans).
