BOOK OF THE MONTH - vote for February's choice here

(9 Posts)
THE ENCHANTED APRIL is our winner! We'll be chatting about it here on Tuesday 24 February 8-10pm

Sorry to all those who were rooting for A Room With a View (which came in hot on the heels in second place) - Enchanted April has the same Italian setting and perfect escapism so join us and discover a little known classic...

And see you all next Tuesday for I CAPTURE THE CASTLE chat
That's odd, it usually shows you the polls as well as telling you you've voted...

Just in case it is still playing up, I can tell you that Enchanted April is still just in the lead, two votes ahead of Room with a View.

Poll closes 12pm tomorrow and we'll announce the winner Wednesday morning... if you haven't yet voted now's your chance...

thanks Helen
Ah - ok - will give you a quick snapshot of voting, then: Enchanted April in lead from Room with a View.

But it could all change...

Thanks Helen. Problem is, when I click on voting page - highlighted by links above which say "vote now" and "poll", the page comes up blank and says: "You've already voted in this poll. Thank you."
Which is true, but I want to know which book is in the lead!!
FeelingLucky, go back to the voting page and you'll see above the book titles a little sentence that says, 'To see the results without voting, go here'

Click on the link and that should do it smile

Can't seem to get to the page which shows which book is currently winning in poll by clicking on any of links above.
Can anybody help?
Bumping for you.
February's Book of the Month selection are all tales of passion, just the ticket for these grim, wintry evenings - vote now and set those pulses racing.

Poll closes at midnight on Tuesday 20 January.

And don't forget we'll get together to chat about January's book, I CAPTURE THE CASTLE, on Tuesday 27 January, between 8 and 10pm.

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
