i keep meaning too - i really must

The Divide is a corker isn't it!

PanicPants · 20/02/2008 15:06

I'm up for starting a thread of the book that I originally sent out.

Has anyone else done this yet?

I'm loving The Divide, that I'm reading now. Can't put it down! Except to come on here of course!

I have not finished the first one, i have had to borrow it off a friend ! am finding it really hard going i had tried reading it once before, and never got to the end of it then.....

will i be expelled from book club now?

McDreamylove · 18/02/2008 18:37

Think we should start them just like you've said FMV but which book are we going to do? Our own books ie. the first one we sent or the first one we received? (or 2 in my case!! )

YY, good plan!
We need to make sure we can spot 'our' titles as there are several.
eg:
FMF's Original BOOK SWAP: The Babysittter by Justin Casey Howls

WigWamBam · 18/02/2008 18:22

Oh goodness, I didn't mean for you to do them all, FMV! I thought maybe we could each start a thread about the book we received first, that way the person wanting to discuss doesn't have to wait for the person who posted the book to start the thread. If that makes sense!

I just didn't want to start a thread and then get shouted at because a format had been agreed somewhere and I'd blinked and missed it.

McDreamylove · 18/02/2008 18:14

how about we all open a thread on our own book (the one we originally sent) on the book swap thread and then no-one has the task of doing everything?

You've done loads so far FMF - well done and thank you

Er, I am rubbish at organising, tis a miracle we got the circle going at all with me in charge so if anyone feels all bustly and organised and wishes to start threads to discuss books, be my guest

Happy birthday for Wednesday.....I bet you're younger then me

McDreamylove · 18/02/2008 17:55

Awww thanks

I think we should have a seperate thread for each book or else we might run into book spoilers.

MaeWest · 18/02/2008 17:53

So - do we want to start a thread for each book? Or jsut have a general piley-on thread?

RubySlippers · 18/02/2008 17:51

we are organised in a laid back way!

would love to discuss my books - have already finished my second one - it was GREAT!!

MaeWest · 18/02/2008 17:50

oh yes, good idea WWB. After you...

McDreamy, I can't believe you got this one so qquickly after the last fiasco

OP posts:
WigWamBam · 17/02/2008 17:58

Are we going to discuss the books somewhere? Before we all forget what our first books were!

There's a Book Swaps topic we could use if anyone else is interested in discussing them.

McDreamylove · 16/02/2008 12:55

Got my book yesterday FMF - thanks

PanicPants · 13/02/2008 19:38
