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

DH suggests 'What's that Dear?', or 'Trying to Ignore the Kids'.

spiderbabymum, you are too late, sorry! How about I let you know if anyone drops out?

mehdismummy, hmm, I once read about five Jackie Collins novels in a row in the late 1980s/early 1990s. Is she still around?

FlameNFurter · 26/01/2008 22:00

"wine, cheese, and bathwater marks"

spiderbabymum · 26/01/2008 21:55

OOOOOOoooo Can i be in too or am i too late ????

mehdismummy · 26/01/2008 21:52

is jackie collins chick lit?

I'm happy with a hardback. Right I'll send this fantasy book out. People please bear in mind it might not be everyone's cup of tea, I was sceptical when I originally read it, but it's somewhat addictive and as part of a large series it needs to be lol. The following books are more subtle too, incidentally If anyone does enjoy it, I can send out subsequent books

Flame, hardbacks are fine by me. I like hardbacks.

Yes, we need a new thread, in the new book circle place. Does that mean we need to name our book circle?

Any ideas? Hmm, 'Wine and Cheese', 'Possible Murder and a bit of Mayhem', 'I'd rather have a copy of Closer and a doughnut'?

I'm happy with fantasy etc Lunavix.

Psycho is asking if she can do a hardback? It isn't a huge hardback - tis up to you lot with whether you want to pay the slightly extra postage (assuming it will be slightly higher, haven't gotten round to weighing it yet).

Can we do a new thread for when we have the books? Can it be in the book swap section? Can we have a "title"? (I get oddly overexcited by nicely organised things)

Re letting me know book titles, you don't HAVE to do this, but if you're worried someone else might be sending the same book (because it's a bestseller or whatever) then feel free to do so. Then I can at least let you know whether it's one of the titles I know about.

missingtheaction, I don't have your name. Presumably though your first name is the name at the beginning of your e-mail address?

Ok!

OP posts:
rosmerta · 25/01/2008 09:08

Ok, I've chosen my book and I really don't think anyone else will have sent it so why don't I just post it to you & then you still get a surprise?

CocoDeBearisCocoDeBear · 24/01/2008 22:22

rosmerta · 23/01/2008 23:13

see top!

Tomorrow I will send an e-mail to everyone containing everyone else's names and addresses. This means that if someone drops out, the whole thing won't collapse - we can just send to the next one on the list.

Obviously, it'd be nice if everyone stayed in for the year, but we need contingencies!

Can everyone be ready to send out their book by Monday 28th? Then we'll stick to the 28th for subsequent months. That means everyone should have their book by the 1st of the month.

Let me have your titles, so we can rule out duplicates (CAT or e-mail).

Ha ha! Tracked you down at last. I'm getting quite good at this stalking malarky.

TBH I'm not keen on fantasy, but if I guess if other people are willing to give it a go I'll try.

OP posts:
lunavix · 23/01/2008 13:44

Sorry!

What do people think of fantasy btw? I love my Terry Goodkind but don't know if it will be anyone else's cup of tea
