A rich and varied set of choices month, and I've only read three of them (including my own nomination). I've already bought a few of these (went on a bit of a spree tonight), but I don't really care what wins.

Only one of these would be a re-read for me, and at such a distance that I have zero memory of it, except I remember quite liking it.

Yup, it's doing well. And there's only a single read cycle wait at my Public Library for both the ebook and the audio book. (And, btw, the WhisperSync deal in the UK is a good deal better than the one in the US, should anyone care to take a look at that. US$11.84 v. US$22.98)

The movie adaptation with the fabulous Carrie Mulligan has also arrived on Netflix. Nice for comparative value.
