I’m rather curious to see how this one goes – I’m pretty sure which book is going to win this round, but let’s see – and I think the second place book is certainly less hard to call. Rounds One, Two and Three are still going for the next week or so, so don’t forget to vote on those if you haven’t done so already.
Right – back to reviewing for a while, unless I get bored and do a Marple poll instead… maybe I’ll give that one a few weeks.
