I've missed out on two now. I quite like the idea, anyone else?

I have my copy of 13th tale.

Am still reading Notes from an Exhibition, but excited about starting this new one.

Also have received my book from Rosmerta. Thanks Rosmerta . I have read this one before, is a great book.

The 13th Tale is so well written. Absolutely amazing and like I've said before I can't put it down.

CocodeBear · 09/05/2008 22:08

Am SO going to the library in the morning.

whispywhisp · 09/05/2008 22:00

squilly....The Thirteenth Tale is...VERY un-put-down-able!

whispywhisp · 09/05/2008 13:07

squilly...thank you for sending the 13th Tale book...arrived this morning. That's no housework to be done this weekend then!

rosmerta · 08/05/2008 19:51

hi all, just so you know I've posted the next book & received one . Sorry I've been so rubbish but have got loads of stuff on atm & am struggling a little to keep up! But hopefully it will all settle down & I'll be back on track.

13th Tale sounds intriguing, must look that one up. Can't actually think of anything I've read recently and really enjoyed, must get some better books

CocodeBear · 08/05/2008 19:46

Flossie, no, I've not heard from Luna.

I'll forward her e-mail address to you.

whispywhisp · 08/05/2008 12:02

Flossie...can you CAT me your details so I can take a note of your address etc to send on the 13th Tale book once I've read it? Thank you. x

I want staircase drawers! What a fab idea!!!

I've been cured of my addiction to the books, though. I've cut back from 2 large boxes full and 2 large bookcases full to just 5 shelves. And some of those will go in the next few weeks.

I've got Elizabeth Buchan's 'That Certain Age'

www.amazon.co.uk/That-Certain-Age-Elizabeth-Buchan/dp/0141009802 if anyone wants that one sending. I bought it last week, starting reading it and realised I'd read it already. It borders on chick-lit, so I'd never send it to the book club. Just cat your deails. if you fancy it.

I'm posting Thirteenth Tale today so it should be with you tomorrow or Saturday (Royal Mail willing!).

Hope your Thursdays are proving as sunny as mine!

whispywhisp · 08/05/2008 07:19

Can I just confirm who I am sending the Thirteenth Tale on to when I've finished it??!!!! Thanks! x

FlossieTCake · 08/05/2008 00:14

Dammit. Sorry I messed up the link.
Try again.

FlossieTCake · 08/05/2008 00:12

Coco, have you heard from lunavix at all? I've CAT'ed her a couple of times previously but not got anything back I've actually got loads to read at the moment (reading 5 books at once for the first time since I was about 15...) but don't want to hold the circle up next month!

Looking forward to Diane Setterfield hen you're done, Whipsywhisp! If anyone wants to share Catherine O'Flynn's What Was Lost with me too please shout That's another I keep requesting and keep getting refused...

Shall have to think of books I can post on in return. I am far too attached to my books - I need one of http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/at-europe/at-europe-london-closeup-the-amazing-staircase-042543 these (I've probably posted that link before but it bears repeating!!)

Psychomum5 · 07/05/2008 21:46

gooood plan

CocodeBear · 07/05/2008 21:43

I will take two books, that one and another just in case

Psychomum5 · 07/05/2008 21:42

oh yes take it!!!

may not be for you, but if from the library, at least it is not money spent on a book you hate!

squilly · 07/05/2008 21:40

I think it would be great holiday reading, but will be worried in case you hate it....can't imagine you would though! There's not much to hate!

CocodeBear · 07/05/2008 21:26

ooh, ooh, ooh, should I get it out the library to take on holiday?

squilly · 07/05/2008 20:36

I agree with psychomum5. Tis fab. It's a lovely, old fashioned feeling book, almost like a classic...so beautifully crafted and all tied up at the end with a little bow.

Like a good block of chocolate.....dreamy and satisfying.

Psychomum5 · 07/05/2008 20:03

tis fab coco...well I thought so, as did others here

CocodeBear · 07/05/2008 19:56

Didn't see your post somehow, rosmerta . Thanks, no hurry, I've just started Notes from an Exhibition.

Intrigued about the Thirteenth Tale now.

squilly · 07/05/2008 12:17

I'll forward thirteenth tale today/tomorrow. Just debating whether to post my Ebay parcels or leave it til tomorrow (the heat is making me feel lazy!).

I just loved this so much, I felt the need to share

I don't need it back when it's done, so please, feel free to pass it to whoever! (or should that be whomever?!).

Off to start my bookcircle book.

whispywhisp · 07/05/2008 08:09

Thanks Flame! Atleast I know its not in the depths of Royal Mail's 'lost' pile somewhere!

Psychomum5 · 07/05/2008 08:07

thirteenth tale.....fabulous book, well worth readng

Flame · 07/05/2008 07:54

I'm still finishing it!!! I'm sooooooo sorry

whispywhisp · 07/05/2008 07:45

I've just read a brilliant book but unfortunately can't pass it on because it was on loan to me but its worth a mention - it was the new one by Jeffery Archer - A Prisoner of Birth. Absolutely excellent read.
