For number 3 you could try if you haven't read it before. I read it last year and it was great.

Or I am currently reading . So far its pretty good. But I am only a third of the way through so can't vouch for how good it will turn out!

Thank you :-) I'll have a look at these. I'm actually reading a book about a farm at the moment, so its a shame I didn't start reading it in February as it could have covered No.2

If you don't finish it until Feb you could still count it :)

Good plan :0)

@Ian ... Wake sounds very good to me. I'll keep an eye out for it when it comes available in the US next month.

@Ashley ... I'll try for all 4 of these.

Sign me up for all 4 please :)
