Oops Coco, x posted & I've sent you an email, not stalking, just being dead keen. I'll keep my eye on the thread & wait to hear by email if you can sqeeeeez another one in. Thanks.

I will admit to not being entirely selfless - my book was one of the ones lost in the ether , I don't want the whole thing to break down either - I'm really enjoying myself I am getting adept at stalking too which helps

The Mad House, so pleased to find out you're still in!

Well done Flame for stalking on Good Housekeeping. I should get on those threads again actually .

Thanks for helping to keep everything on track, Flame, I was gutted that things were going wrong so quick.

Need to find out if Flossie has her book yet. We might be back in business.

Bendi, not sure, we were having a bit of a wobble, check back in tomorrow/Monday and there may be a space. Ideally though we'd like to keep the same original 12 people and books circulating - it's less complicated that way.

Lol - both - mrmadhouse can post and we can keep madhouse in (although someone is reading 2 books in one month I think, but just speed read people!)

and Missingtheaction appears to be Missinginaction, so looks like you're a new reader Email coco!

Bendi · 22/03/2008 22:39

Is the Hurrah for a new reader or because the Mr MadHouse will post in a couple of days?

Flamesparrow · 22/03/2008 22:22

Hurrah!!!!

Hated the idea of it all collapsing after one month

Bendi · 22/03/2008 22:16

It looks like I'm too late...? Do you have a reserve list? Or can these things just get bigger?

TheMadHouse · 22/03/2008 22:13

I have a hugh appology to make. I gave DH the book to post from work, but he hasnt. He is not back in until Wednesday, but will post the book then. Please please forgive me

If any one new is interested in joining CAT me or email
[email protected]

If you do CAT or e-mail tell me on this thread that you have done so.

BUT :

you MUST be prepared to read and post on one novel a month on the same date regardless of personal catastrophes/earthquakes/the end of the world. And there is ban on chick lit. And pre-1900 fiction.

Hi I'll be up for this too.

Ok, how about this for a plan, from the end of this month Whispy is to start posting to FlossieT.

Any newbies can fit in as and when.

Flossie, if you want I can throw another book into the mix so that you get a surprise before April. Up to you whether you can get through two surprise books in March/April!

I'll get in touch with MadHouse and Luna to find out what's going on, as it looks like MH might be sitting on two books at the moment.

have you seen whispy around on MN, flame? I did e-mail her, but she hasn't replied.

Maybe she's just getting on with reading the book and hasn't seen the thread yet!

Any sign of your books flossie T and luna?

Flamesparrow · 12/03/2008 21:32
