Drat. Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie did win.

The only book I hadn't read. What are the chances??!! Kieran says 1 in 6. He is such a smarty pants.

Still, it does mean this could be a good contender for the next Book club read and possibly none of us have read it yet... London members decide tomorrow.

Adichie's the favourite

I can't believe that Adichie is the favourite to win the Orange- hers is the only book of the 6 that I haven't read!! (Currently half way through Rachel Cusk's Arlington Park).

Something tells me I won't get it read before the winner is announced tonight!!

Ah well, it was worth a shot, and there's always next year.
