I'm torn between wanting to talk about the books a little but not wanting to give too much away!

bossybritches · 19/01/2008 00:06

Yaaaay!! Hope you enjoy it- I found I alternated between loving it & wanting to kick them (the characters!!) up the backside!!

waves hopefully at differentYearbutthesamecack

It's here but DD1 has a throat infection and DD2 is teething like mad...so I just hope I can read it before you all finish yours!

(Very good choice BTW, loved the other novel by this author so am interested to see what this one is like!)

I would say deadline of a month so we woudl all be sending again in 3 or 4 weeks max, but if we have all finished before then seems little point hanging onto them all!

Thanks Tigerfeet hopefully it will come tomorrow as hubby out so could do with something to read in the evening.

Am intriqued(Sp) as to where you live now is it the same county as saw from another post that your DH works for a farm and that is big business up here.

TigerFeet · 16/01/2008 08:57

mumwhereareyou, I'm so sorry, it's been a bit hectic round here and I haven't had chance to post your book out. I'm off work tomorrow afternoon so I will get it in the post then.

I hope you think it's worth the wait!

fryalot · 16/01/2008 08:54

gosh, found you at last (should have searched messages )

Anyway, posted my book out to differentyear on Sunday so she should have it today. Received my book from mumwhereareyou and am well on the way to finishing it.

well done, chirpygirl!

Kenuwee · 16/01/2008 00:35

You think it is bad for you? I have had all the names of these really interesting intellectual looking books, and I have sent a light comedy type book! Will be nice to have lots of different types though.
