seen it and really chuffed that 2 of my books have been selected yippee!!!!! will start on Ugly right away as it has been sitting on my bookcase for months lol

Thanks Ann... I shall start Ugly over this weekend, and if all is well with Mum may get to read a 2nd one. I shall put my 2 forward for next Month if you want to make a note of it... Love Maisie

Thanks Anne, I have read 'to kill a mocking bird recently' as my twins did it for GCSE but will try to get hold of the other two. By the way I think 'to kill a mocking bird' is a really good book and it was also a good film. When we went to America last year we were lucky enough to see a pair of mocking birds which are quite difficult to spot and also go to the Martin Luther King museum and see his and Coretta King's graves which filled in some of the background to the story.

Maisie, because I get confused it is best if you put them forward yourself, I might forget. Ann Glos

Thanks Ann I actually did a quick tot up just before I went to school. So I have just come back from the library with To Kill a Mocking Bird, and I've ordered Ugly. I read The Greatest Knight a couple of months ago and I'm really pleased it got chosen for Dee's sake! lol. It's absolutely brilliant and Elizabeth Chadwick has said she may write at least one follow up Jeanette x

Titles noted thanks Ann. Can't promise to do all 3 but will try my best, starting with Ugly. Dawn

Ann,have made a note and will get online to Amazon and get them ordered xx Jill

Hi Ann Have seen the list for this month To Kill a Mocking Bird is not available through Medway library service, any one else had problems?? Dee x

I got it in my library today......in large print! lol I did notice our Asda had it in recently Dee.....think it was priced at £3.73

If you can't get it at your Asda Dee, I could have a look in mine for you

Thanks Jeanette, I will try and find an Asda, it is on amazon at an exorbitant price ;-((

No worries! lol. I'll have a look for you

That would be good if you could Jeanette, I am not even sure where there is an Asda round here, I am sure there must be, but I am a bit brain dead at the moment ;-))

Thanks Ann, have seen it and am going to the library tomorrow. Dee I can't believe they can't get you a copy - that's ridiculous!!! Is it a set text for the whole of Medway or something?! I've read it a couple of times (that's why I didn't vote for it!) so will try the others first and see if I have time to re-read it or not. Gotta finish Lisey's Story (Stephen King) first, so not sure how far I'll get! Maz. XX

Thanks Ann Did a quick tot up like Jeanette as I needed to go to the library today as out all day tomorrow - couldn't get any of the books but will hopefully have more success at one of the bigger branches. If not will order a couple of them Happy reading everyone. Kate

Maz I went online and it just doesn't come up under title or author, it is weird. I ordered up Ugly OK and another book I wanted Dee ;-(

Still a few to see this

Dee - try giving them a ring in the morning - they should be able to reserve over the phone for you ... or at the very least explain where all the copies are! Maz. XX
