Some very tempting choices in the vote this month.

As I was the only one to vote for my choice 😞, I've changed my vote to Spy so as not to waste it.

I did the same thing RC. My nominations never seem to find favour with the voters either - but, you can always suggest your nomination(s) for a buddy read

I will be reading your choice, Nigeyb, and am glad you nominated it - whether or not it won the vote. I have read Profumo before, but am always happy to read Le Carre.
