Congrats to the winner 🙂
I have won…. Finally I’ll be able to read Muriel Spark. Thank you so much!
Yes, you are the lucky winner. You are very welcome. I hope you will like it.
And this is a little reminder that I need to decide which Muriel Spark book I am going to read…I didn’t realize that the readalong is only in a couple of weeks. I should really start reading now so I will have something to talk about later! 🙂
I’ve got Territorial Rights ready and will start soon. I think she is very readable, it shouldn’t be hard to meet the deadline. And I don’t think any of her books are very long.
I’m looking foward to readin it in any case.
Congratulations to Nadine! I can’t wait to read the posts during Muriel Spark week!
I’m looking forward as well. It looks as if everyone has chosen something else, it will be interesting.
