I vote 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Bronte. I like that book a great deal - it is romantic and has a very good storyline. Thank you.

I vote for The Last Summer. Thanks.

Hello. My name is on the list to vote, but clicking on Polls, I don't get any polls from 2021. Any guidance? Suzann

We don't use a Poll unless there is a tie. Just either e-mail me back your choice or just post it in this discussion thread. Either way, I will get it and put your name on the paper under the book of your choice.

I vote for Mrs. Dalloway

I also vote for Mrs.Dalloway

Did you want to be the discussion leader?

If you are leading, what discussion threads would you like set up for you?

I will get the discussion threads up tomorrow. Is there any preference; right now I am going between splitting the book up in the 3 parts or a spoiler/ non spoiler thread?

How about three parts?

The Jane Eyre discussion threads are posted.

I have to finish up my current book; then I can start reading this. But I will try to look up where parts begin/ end for everyone tonight.

I'm at least a week away from being able to join in - busy few weeks! But this book will have my undivided attention when I get there! :)
