Piebald - give ESP a PM - I've seen her around on other threads a few weeks ago so hopefully she's out there.

Tilly - keep forgetting to post you Swampy's book. Will definitely post it tomorrow - may staple it to my forehead to remind me to do it!

swampster · 29/11/2011 11:55

Poor ESP gets her books from me so she gets them rather late. Blush

I haven't poted yet either. Blush Blush Blush

I haven't finished reading it yet and I don't think I ever will! Sad

piebald · 29/11/2011 11:18

Sorry sorry-just realised i havent had my book yet let alone read it. Are you out there ESP.

musttidyupmusttidyup · 28/11/2011 21:59

I'll do it rufus

Calico1 · 28/11/2011 20:11

Oh sorry Rufus - posted it this morning to musttidyup before I saw your message.

rufussewell · 27/11/2011 23:00

calico would you mind writing my MN name in the front of that book you have just read, as I put my RL name in instead! ta

Haribojoe · 27/11/2011 20:49

Struggling to get finished this month, am going to make a concerted efort over next few days and promise I won't be late posting my book this year.

Book clun gives me another reason to look forward to maternity leave, work really does get in the way of all the important things in life doesn't it!

kiwijesta · 27/11/2011 20:19

Hi all,
I've just sent a complicated message to rufus and clingingtosanity about my holiday plans, and now I've found that the clun is thankfully being extended over Christmas. Basically I'm going home to (unsurprisingly) NZ for all of Dec and Jan but if I post to Clinging and so does Rufus we'll be sorted! I'll come back in at the end of Jan raring to go!

My book is quite Sad this month and I've not finished it so I'm going to post it on and get a copy next week at home and persevere.

Calico1 · 26/11/2011 19:19

I've just read Rufus's book (I think!). Good book but thought the central character was a bit wet - kept wanting her to stand up for herself a bit more. I'll send it on on Monday.

Calico1 · 26/11/2011 19:10

Afternoons Angry - though must admit I read the book pre-children when I had much more time to concentrate Grin

acsec · 26/11/2011 18:51

Yes, or they'd Hollywoodise it and make it completely different!

musttidyupmusttidyup · 26/11/2011 18:46

It'll probably never happen which is probably for the best - surely it would be just too expensive to do it justice?

acsec · 26/11/2011 18:43

Ah, but I wonder if they'd make the movie too schmaltzy, that would be no good.

musttidyupmusttidyup · 26/11/2011 18:34

I'm glad you're addicted acsec. I hear there is a movie in the pipeline Grin.
This month I read kiwijesters book and really really enjoyed it. It is one that I will always remember. Smile

acsec · 26/11/2011 17:48

Musttidyup - I really enjoyed your book and have asked for the others for Xmas!

Afternoons - I found Calico's book a bit tough going to start with, quite liked the middle but not the end.

I've got ClingingtoSaity's book this time and am enjoying it as can dip in and out when I feel like it. I'll try and get it sent on Monday.

AfternoonsandCoffeespoons · 25/11/2011 13:17

Um.........think I might send this one on without finishing it. Blush I'm really struggling with this one, I'm afraid. I'm not sure why but I just can't get in to it. I've read the first few chapters, then read them again when i realised i didnt have a clue what i'd just read, but i think i'm just going to give up on it. especially since its sending on day today! I'll pop it in the post tomorrow swamps, and then start fresh with the next one.

musttidyupmusttidyup · 25/11/2011 12:42

Thank God.

swampster · 25/11/2011 11:05

It's no War and Peace. Or Anna Karenina!
