Thanks and congratulations

Thanks to the residents of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead who took the time and trouble to vote for their Top Ten favourite novels shortlisted for World Book Day on the Library's own poll. Steve Aylett's Lint came top , so well done Steve and well done, Em at Snowbooks - a result eh? And I am delighted to say that In Cold Daylight came second. So thank you to the local councillors and library staff who contributed reviews, and many thanks to the readers who voted for it.
