musttidyup - your second book is on the way to you today.

AfternoonsandCoffeespoons · 21/09/2011 21:36

Nearly finished my book (had a bit of a hold up in the middle so taken a while). Shall i hang fire on sending it on until we hear from JK?

dinkystinky · 21/09/2011 12:05

Hello all - right what you need to do is

JK - you Have to send your book on to Swampster to speed-read this week plus the book you got in the book clun (label your book clearly) - Swampster will then send it on to her sendee in a week or so' time. If you cant do this, please pm Afternoonsandcoffeespoons Swampster's address so she can send the book she got on to Swampy.

Everyone else send the Book you received on to person whose address you have this week. We meet next Monday to report on the books we've read so far.

Have you pm'ed JK your address Swampy? The lady has been in hospital you know (and bet your swamp monsters have kept you too busy to read all August anyway)....

swampster · 05/09/2011 20:42

-This was your idea in the first place!

dinkystinky · 05/09/2011 13:41

Glad you enjoyed it Tilly - I was the same when I got it!

So, reminder - book clun meets on 26 September to discuss our books that we've read. We all send our books on to the next person on the list week of 19 to 25 September so they have them for the following month.

acsec · 04/09/2011 00:10

I'm excited about the next book I'll be getting. when do we send them on again?

tillyfernackerpants · 03/09/2011 10:09

Haribo, gald you enjoyed it. It was one we had for my RL book club, not something I would've picked either.

I took dinky's book on holiday with me, and finished it in about 2 days. I could not put it down!

Haribojoe · 02/09/2011 20:29

Finished Tillys book today. Not one I would have chosen myself but enjoyed it. Literally gasped out loud in shock at one point when something totally unexpected happened. Glad I've read it, looking forward to the next surprise Smile

dinkystinky · 28/08/2011 13:58

Jk - don't have swam us address but Rufus (coco in disguise) may have it. Glad you're doing ok now and hope you enjoy your book.

piebald · 27/08/2011 23:30

Just finished electricsoftparades book. I have had a bit of a dry spell reading wise recenly so was glad to quickly get caught up in the story. It made you think a lot about what it s like to lose someone, reminded me a bit of The lovely Bones with an out of body character voice and kept me guessing

piebald · 27/08/2011 23:23

Glad you enjoyed it Dinky, when i read it first i too reread it straight away. I picked it up in a charity shop and was astonished that it was about 25years old and i had never heard of it, i wondered if it might have been an American school book, she has written a lot more but i havent tried any, still slightly put off by the sci fi label
