Cupcake is....'A piece of cake' by Cupcake Brown. xxx

Flamesparro · 24/05/2008 22:21

Twilight says children's, but you will fall in love with main bloke

squilly · 24/05/2008 22:19

Ooh...two new books to add to my hitlist... I haven't heard of Cupcake Brown or Twilight, so I'm off to Amazon to check them both out...

Flamesparro · 24/05/2008 22:16

Go to the "mumsnet swaps" and there will be a thread in there to post the comments (although I seem to be chatting to myself ) you may need to tell us which book though to find out which thread you need.

Not read cupcake

Currently reading Twilight - it is FABULOUS! Luna will love it I think

Anyone ever read Cupcake Brown? I bought it today. I was looking at it whilst shopping in Asda - I can't NOT go and look at the books and a woman stood next to me said she'd just finished it and said it was absolutely brilliant.

squilly · 24/05/2008 12:09

Hi all...sorry I've been away for a while, so I only took junk to read...I didn't want to damage my book club book....but I'll be starting on it this weekend.

Just so I know the form here, am I supposed to post comments on the book I've been sent? If so, where do I post them?

And am I supposed to post comments on the book I have sent out to you guys too???

Sorry if I'm a bit confused. There are times when I am most definitely a mom of little brain!

CocodeBear · 23/05/2008 21:04

poor mehdismummy. feel bad for not reading her thread straight away .

whoever used to post to mehdismummy had better starting posting to the next in the list.

whispywhisp · 23/05/2008 13:14

Flame - book came today. Thank you. x

whispywhisp · 23/05/2008 08:46

Thanks Flame!

Flossie....DH is posting the 13th Tale to you today. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Brilliant read. xxx

I'm now reading a book called 'Garden Spells'...its in the charts at the moment - anyone else read it?

Flame · 22/05/2008 09:38

I finished it Whispy!!! Will post today

Flame · 19/05/2008 08:03

A refuge

CocodeBear · 19/05/2008 07:42

where's mehdismummy gone? i didn't read her thread and now it's disappeared.

FlossieTCake · 18/05/2008 22:48

I haven't heard anything from Lunavix either, I'm afraid - no book, and I emailed direct as well but haven't heard back :-(

Flame · 18/05/2008 12:52

I am finally at the stage of having gotten into it - will be in the post really soon

I know it is probably the last thing on her mind, but has anyone heard anything from Mehidsmummy? I'm assuming we're reshuffling the list? I'm soooooooooo pleased she is out of there now (her home... not the swap )

whispywhisp · 16/05/2008 18:24

Flame....don't worry!!!! So long as madhouse knows I may be a bit late posting the book on that's ok with me! Enjoy your soak and read later....xxxx

Flame · 16/05/2008 18:00

Gah, don't say that whispy

I really want to finish this book. I am going to have a long bubble bath tonight and read oodles

whispywhisp · 16/05/2008 17:58

Squilly...I've just finished the Thirteenth Tale.....what an absolutely amazing read. I was completely blown away by it. Has to be one of the best books I've ever read. I will now get it off in the post to Flossie - probably on Monday.

FlossieTCake · 13/05/2008 23:38

Third one's the charm . DS2 was kamikaze - still is at times, but at least now he's 6 the school system takes him off my hands for large chunks of the day (and has to content itself with phoning me continually to complain that he never eats anything or sits still in assembly).

Have emailed lunavix about book. Currently reading chicklit (I know, I know...) as my brain has lost all muscle tone in the last few weeks and I can't face any proper reading.

CocodeBear · 11/05/2008 10:30

Wish I could read in the day. But DD2 is totally kamikaze. If I take my eye of her for a second she's working out a way of crawling headfirst out of upstairs windows using a selection of hastily improvised steps.

It is very wearing.

And we're planning a third. Nutters.

whispywhisp · 10/05/2008 20:09

Don't worry Flame...I'm engrossed in 13th. xx

Flame · 10/05/2008 19:13

Whispy - I am getting there I promise

whispywhisp · 10/05/2008 18:58

Oh dear...I can see all the libraries running out! Have just read a bit more...not easy with two demanding kids so its been put to one side ready for bedtime..so no doubt a late night!

rosmerta · 10/05/2008 18:52

I must admit I'm loving the weather atm cos it means ds is happy playing in the garden & I can just sit & read! If we're indoors he always wants me to play with him so don't get much chance to sit down!

I'm definitely off to the library on Monday to see if I can get this 13th Tale.

whispywhisp · 10/05/2008 16:45

Thanks squilly. It's an amazing book. Written in such a way that I've never read before, iykwim! I keep nodding in agreement with what has been written...weird! I was in the middle of reading a different book but when 13th tale turned up I flicked thru it and had to start it. Needless to say my kids aren't getting much in the way of attention this weekend!

squilly · 10/05/2008 15:58

Hi whispywhisp

So glad you like it! I read it over 3 nights. I loved it.

I'm just re-reading my book from the circle, as I read it a long, long time ago. I'm looking forward to reading it again.

I kind of envy anyone who hasn't read 13th tale, cos it's so readable. Hope you enjoy it too CocodeBear
