NancyJ (nancyjjj) | 3556 comments Now that the voting is over, can anyone tell me the early accidental results? I know it could easily have changed, but I’m curious.

I’m dog sitting and I had to get up very very early to walk the dog. I’m going to try to get a little more sleep, if I can resist the urge to keep checking for the new results.

Bec- Blood Kin by Ceridwen Dovey sounds good! Also, she has a book about J.M. Coetzee. Since I like his writing, that may be interesting after I read a few more of his books. I find so many new authors and titles on these discussion threads! Thanks.
