This is so difficult!   I've decided that although I love A Thousand Splendid Suns and The Thirteenth Tale that I am not allowed to vote for either of them as I read them in 2007 not 2008.  So I've voted for my favourite of last year's reads

There are lots of great books on this poll! I expect you can guess which one I voted for though...!

I've re-opened the poll until the 6th of February so that those of you who have yet to vote may do so. Lisa x
