All right, I'll be getting everything updated and started slowly over the next little while. B_G, your (final!) nominations are great! It's a coincidence since the topic was open to anything, but I also had Hamnet on my longlist of considerations for this month. I loved the film of Atonement and have been wanting to read it for a long time. And Small Island looks intriguing; what is another interesting coincidence is that I've had my nominations picked out for some days now and one of my books is also concerning the Caribbean.
ETA- I may sense a possible reason or theme that could explain some of the coincidental nature.
