Mumsnet Talk

We'll be chatting about our Book of the Month, THE ENCHANTED APRIL by Elizabeth Von Arnim, a witty, escapist classic, here on Tuesday 24 February from 8-10pm.

Don't forget you can order your copy here

Keen to know how the votes turned out? Have a snoop at the results here

And, for anyone who missed them first time round, here were February's passion-filled book choices

Have ordered my copy! Looking forward to it

Though have just realized I will probably be in hospital on that date recovering from a c-section - d'oh. Not in denial at all, me. Never mind, will read anyway!!

I am going to try and read this and join in as it will be a good way of having me time.

coco, I didn't realise you were having a baby - is this number 2/3/4? How are you feeling (apart from being in denial)?

Twinset, this book is perfect me-time fodder. And given the weather right now, the Italian Riviera seems the place to be, even if just in the mind.

This will be no 3. Feeling not too bad, thanks Tilly, though sleeping's a problem. It helps that my eldest has just started school. People keep coming up to me and saying oh, you're going to be one of those women, with 3 kids under the age of 5 . To which I've been saying well, you know, not permanently!

it's not in the library! hooray, I will have to buy books!

Parcels of books arriving at the door always a cheery sight.

Coco, I say lets hear it for close-together kids. Hectic, yes, but very fun and we will cross over into those sun-filled, nappy-free lands that much sooner.

This will be the first time that I have joined in with the monthly book club and am very much looking forward to it. A break from reality is much needed!

I have never joined in this before - always see the thread and think ooooh that sounds nice but I won't have time to the book. I might just do it this time!

I got the book from the library today so I guess I'm in!

Just got back from my Local Book Club 'Girls Nite in' to watch DVD of our choice this month - something very satisfying about sharing a good read so count me in!!

I wanted to read this and join in, the book sounds so interesting, so off I went today, plus DP and children, to Waterstone's and they had none

The lady behind the counter had read it though and I told her it was the Mumsnet book for Feb so they are going to order more in

Welcome all - looking forward to this one, I think it will be just the thing for this dreary month. Hope you've got the date in your diary - Tuesday 24 February, 8-10pm...

And if you're around tomorrow evening, we'll be talking about I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith, come along if you're free...

That looks like a great book i'm going to see if i can get it today and join in on feb 24th thanks!

I'm reading "The Enchanted April" at the moment and absolutely loving it - total escapism. Looking forward to joining the chat on the 24th Feb.

oh, can i join in please??
just checked my library website and they have the book, so just need to get down there and get it

I've been wanting to join a book club for ages but due to working full time and commuting as well as having cute but demanding toddler I don't have much spare time and can't make local ones, so this is perfect for me. I've just ordered the book, and I've made a note in my diary that it's the 24th as I've got a terrible memory {smile]

i got the book yesterday and am over half way through all ready. tis very good, i couldnt sleep last night so read for hours instead.

i want to do this for similar reasons as you spursmummy mumsnet solces so many little probs LOL

I am reading this too - I'm enjoying it, although I keep going off into fantasies about escaping somewhere hot and forrin which is distracting

I have always wanted to be part of a book club, enjoying the book and looking forward to the discussion - how does it work please?

PS anyone who can't get a copy in a bookshop, I got a very good condition used one for a couple of quid from Amazon, and its like new!

Just saw that you had a book club. So exciting! Was part of a 'real' one before I had my son and I miss it (even though the book club has become a mummy group as we all had babies at the same time!). Am ordering the book today. Really hope I remember (and baby sleeps) on the 24th.

Modern I really enjoyed Joanne Harris' Five Quarters of the Orange for a classic I do love P&P but that's everyones fav... so perhaps I'd say Lord of the Flies, William Golding.
