And if the price of the Audible book is a bit much, buy the Kindle book for $0.99, and the Audible book is only $2.99. Of course, that's only as a way to reduce the price of the Audible book, since we're reading from the PCML.

Thanks both.

I loved Prunella Scales as Miss Mapp.

ETA: There's also a 99¢/99¢ pairing, read by Nadia May, although I'd probably go for Scales for the extra two bucks. When you're not an Audible member, it's hard to see which narration pairs with which Kindle version.

Hmmm. A Nadia May version? AND it's cheaper? I'm always hard pressed to pass up anything read by Wanda McCaddon under whatever name. Plus, if you're in Kindle Unlimited, you can read, AND listen for free to the Nadia May version. Good catch!

Unfortunately, it seems extremely unlikely that we'll be choosing Cranford this month. Too bad, it's a good book and the Audible availability makes it even better.

Someone going to vote at the last minute and not send us to a run-off?

Edit: Nope. Kidnapped or The Virginian

Well, I was really hoping for Riders of the Purple Sage (whatever a sage is), but I see we'll have to break that tie, so I'll be back in a few with a new poll.

EDIT: The poll with have to wait for a couple of hours. Life. Sorry.

Thanks to those of you for the Cranford discussion and links. Too bad it didn't do better in the vote but I'm glad it sparked some interest!

I voted for both of the books going to the run-off so I'm happy with the results but it's going to be hard to decide which to vote for now.

Same here. I am going to dig a bit deeper to see if that helps me decide but I may end up passing since I will be happy with either selection.
