Decmber 12, 2013
We were so busy chatting and laughing, we almost forgot to vote. So, here, as decided by Jen, Jane, Gill, Shubha and Nic just before we left, are a few highlights and low lights of 2013.
Book of the Year: Sense of an Ending and Bring Up the Bodies. I see from the notes, I voted for both. Shuba also voted twice but her other choice was Therese Raquin, where she was on her own!
Blooper of the Year: MR James Collected Ghost Stories
Most Disappointing Book: MR James Collected Ghost Stories and Tender is the Night
Best debate and Jane's Surprise Like: How to be a Woman
Best Sommelier: Code of the Woosters (Sartoria)
Worst Hangover: Code of the Woosters (Sartoria)
Most Apt Venue: Bring up The Bodies (The Perkin Reveller at the Tower of London) and MR James Collected Ghost Stories (The Grenadier)
Least Apt Venue: City of Thieves (Yauatcha to discuss the siege of Leningrad)
Favourite Character: Jeeves (nicest); Van Helsing (sexiest)
Least Favourite Character: Dick, Laurent and Nicole (a popular category this year)
