I want to read that but my library doesn't have it, according to them it doesn't exist.

Dorset libraries have a copy, so there is a chance that Hampshire can borrow that one

I tried back in the summer and it isn't even on their database, they were gonna look into it but I haven't been back.

I'd like to nominate Vanity Fair by Thackeray.

I will nominate The Time Machine by H.G. Wells

I just recently joined this group. Has the group already read The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
If not, I would like to nominate it.

Welcome to the Group Lindsay. We haven't as yet, so have added it to the list.

I will second The Time Machine as I have it at home and am not supposed to be buying new books
