It's getting tougher to choose one each time!
I recognise one I've read... but I've also got three to choose between.
Yeah I liked 3 of them, but for me one of them intrigued me the most. Voted.
Are entries limited to 10? If not, how to post one's blurb?
I had to choose between 2, it was hard
I was torn between two as well. I will probably look at both when all is revealed though.

Entries to this closed some time ago and four competitions of ten each were planned. I'm afraid it's too late to enter now. Sorry but keep an eye out for future events.
... Oh, that's not referring to a cough sweet, is it. ...
I would 'look inside' four of these books based on their blurbs. I'm having trouble deciding which to vote for.
One stood out for me here. It's the best blurb and the closest to my kind of book.
Oh this is getting so tough. I've narrowed it down to 4.
Today is a day of tough choices - which book to vote for, and the choice between a mars bar and a crunchie! Fair play to those that put themselves forward.
89 votes so far. There was an early lead but now there is a battle for the top slot. There is still time to vote!

I forget how this works. I've chosen three; I'll go vote and see. :)So are these real books from authors or just practicing at blurbs?
Real books, Caroline.The winner will be one of group reads.
Er, poll closed this morning...
Oh did it?Wonder if Simon knows that.

I don't think he does :) We need a new vote: a vote of no confidence in Simon! :)
I know. I have just revealed the book names on the poll. I will shortly repost all entries.
