    Thanks Gemsie this is one of my best prizes. I'll be giving mine to the hospital ward where I had my chemo .... as you need something to do whilst sitting there waiting for your treatment to be made up. Congrats everyone & thanks again Gemsie - OOoOoOh I love a good read :D

    I choose Rachel's Holiday too & Toast as a second. I saw Toast on TV a few weeks ago, it was good.

    Maybe we could swap, as the one I got was your first choice, and now I am curious about Toast?

    Congratulations to all winners! For anyone who isn't dropping their books off in bulk at hospitals/hospices/schools, etc and are keen to see how far a book can travel, then this could be quite interesting: BookCrossing
  • Yay...:j...I got my second choice - 'Stuart' by Alexander Masters...which to be honest I am more than happy about cos I was originally torn between...

    My bike club will be really pleased...We aint all oily oiks...:rotfl:

    If any one wants to have a copy before I hand them all out then please PM me...I would love a copy of Alan Bennetts' 'A Life Like Other Peoples' if anyone wants to swap please...Or I could send stamps if 'Stuart' is not to your liking...:beer:
    Happy reading folks!

    I got the "sorry you weren't picked" email :cry: The previous email from them said that as I was one of the first 20,000 to reply it was more than likely that I would be chosen. I think because my first choice was Toast and this was a very popular choice. A bit sad as I had mentally given out the books.

    Wel done all those who got theirs :T
