Yea, I've read the 2 that are out (Scarlett and Cress) aswell - and Scarlet was the best read till now! Looking foreward to read the rest of the series aswell when they come^^

Just checking Paul - isn't The Luminaries running over Jan & Feb because it's so long?

Jo has reminded me of that. Do you want to make this March?

As this thread is up and running, why don't we do that Paul, just make this March's fiction read. We can either do the poll now and hold it, or save it and run the poll when we run the other March polls. I have no strong feelings either way.

Yes, please, and I would like to nominate I Am Pilgrim which will probably take March AND April :-) Happy New Year

Oh I forgot about The Luminaries running for 2 months as well

Setting this poll now, or saving it for later sounds okay either way :)

I have an idea, could we create a new month to fit in between January and February?

Yes please Jason and if we do this every month, I might just finish all of my challenge books this year :)

Genius. Who do we need to talk to to make this happen? Well connected people need apply.

Fantastic idea Jason. While we're about it could we have an extra couple of hours each day please? Think of what we could achieve :)

I shall be calling this month BOB. Everybody shall be paid time and a half at work and it shall be 32 days long, just to mess up that silly rhyme... and as I am rule maker everybody will have a birthday each week. There will also be 11 bank holidays and Christmas 2!

Elizabeth Is Missing - I would like to nominate this book, sounds interesting.

I will second Elizabeth is Missing

I nominate The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

Couple of hours sleep each night please. Is this group fiction wish list or group fiction read?

I second Wind-up Bird Chronicle.

This thread is now closed. Polls open shortly.
