I'm bowled over by your support, though I have to say that I rather assumed it would be only the Brits who would be clamouring to get their hands on the £100 Specsavers book tokens!<br /><br />It's the very sweet thought that counts, as much as actual valid votes.

Anyway, it was great to have a snippet from the Book Club review and to hear you speak of The Lantern, Deborah, as I do not receive English television.<br /><br />My own view .... that The Lantern is not classed in my mind as a 'holiday read' as it is much more than that. I also get the feeling that the reviewers sort of hold back and try to 'word themselves well' instead of just going for it and enjoying being there on the couch.<br /><br />An addition; it is right to ask us to vote, but I understand that it is difficult when you do not have a 'salesperson' mentality. I do not tell people about my books as it is unnatural for me to do so and only just manage to mention them on my blog occasionally. I am not anti sales people - that is what my husband's line of work involved.<br /><br />Hope you win!agujahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15857809123531088629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004288060867455452.post-26658406534273623892011-08-17T19:16:38.840-07:002011-08-17T19:16:38.840-07:00Well, I have read it (fabulous!!) and I voted.
