The Quiche book club definitely has a thread for each book. As we are all going to read them over a long period it is the best way o do i I hink.
Then e just have one other current thread for chat/posting receivin books type stuff.
If we put the individual book threads o out threads I'm watching list as they are started, we won't lose them.

I'll start....

mairsey, it's so unlike anything i would ever choose to read. Glad i'm a long way from scotland. I am enjoying reading something so different, being right out of my comfortable reading rut that i've been trudging along in for a while. I'm about half way through and will dip into it again later

MegBusset · 10/01/2008 22:51

I am really curious to find out what all the other books are!

Might it be a bit of a thread overload if we have one for each book? With the other book club having 12 threads too...

EachPeachPearMum · 10/01/2008 22:46

I haven't read anything by MF- is he good?

mairseydotes · 10/01/2008 22:41

how weird mybabys...I think that that book is a real word of mouth book (despite it winning the whitbread prize or whatever it was)
I read it when I wasn't pregnant and it has stayed with me.
I dont want to go on incase I spoil it but it was a top book!

I am off to stroke my glossy fur........

mybabysinthegarden · 10/01/2008 22:29

Mairsey, I think I can guess what your book is and I nearly sent you that one, but then rejected it due to your delicate condition! I am so psyched if it is, as after I read it I kept trying to get other people to read it so I would have someone to talk to about it.

Dontdreamit, did you see how we work this yet? Do we have separate threads for each book or just one big unruly one?

mairseydotes · 10/01/2008 22:15

yogabird...you will never drive the A9 again without a shiver.....

EachPeachPearMum · 10/01/2008 22:09

Haha- its usually abbreviated to EPPM! Peach made me think PeachesMclean.

I'm so glad you liked it! I couldn't put it down- had to read in one session, even though I hadn't picked it up until 1:15 am!! I cried for ages afterward. Gave it to DH who also read through and blarted!

discoverlife · 10/01/2008 21:20

Oh, Peachy, definatly a kleenex moment at the end. (Sorry guys I am a very, very quick reader) so I will drop the book off at my daughters tomorrow, she will definatly LOVE it. Thanks Peachy.
Hope you don't mind me calling you Peachy as I keep on forgetting how to spell your nick halfway through typing it.

andyrobo237 · 10/01/2008 19:59

Mine is sitting at the PO as I cant get there until Saturday - cant wait though as I have finished my latest book from the Library!

discoverlife · 10/01/2008 18:52

Peachy have started yours, and am intrigued as well. Not my usual reading matter though, which is why I joined, to get out of my Science Fiction rut.

wheresthehamster · 10/01/2008 16:42

Hi discoverlife. Yes, it was waiting for me when I got in this evening thanks. Looks just the sort of thing I like so I'm looking forward to getting stuck in

yogabird · 10/01/2008 13:50

have made a start on mine, not like my normal reading matter, intrigued would be too strong a word to describe how i feel about it yet. Am interested in what on earth the woman is doing it for and as to whether she has false arms? Why she is waering the glasses etc. thanks Mairseydotes

discoverlife · 10/01/2008 11:52

Its awfully quiet in here, is everbody sitting comfortably, reading their new books.
Wheres the Hamster have you received mine yet?

cyanarasamba · 10/01/2008 09:33

discoverlife · 09/01/2008 23:38

Next time I put the punctuation marks in the proper place. Doh!

MegBusset · 09/01/2008 23:33

Am already 80 pages into my book

EachPeachPearMum · 09/01/2008 23:01

Discoverlife- I don't mind who reads it!

EachPeachPearMum · 09/01/2008 23:00
