So that Uwilalalalala doesn't get offended by us bookworms - or would like to be bookworms if we had the time...

Who's that written by MrsB??

harktheheraldfoxessing · 30/12/2006 20:48

How are people doing with their books - shall we meet again mid-Feb, to do more swaps and return the first lot of books??

trying2bgood · 30/12/2006 21:11

pudding - i did lovely bones at my book club, and I liked it but at the same time I did not. I found the ending unsatisfactory and the subject matter upsetting.

mincepiepud · 02/01/2007 11:36

I've read 3 of my books, got another 2 to go I think. Mid-Feb sounds good to me.

pudding77 · 22/01/2007 10:26

Shall we sort out a date for the next one then?

And also, instead of people bringing pretty much every book they've got how about we limit it to 5 each or something?

foxabout2pop · 22/01/2007 10:43

Pus et al

How about Saturday 16 Feb, 11am, at mine again??

I quite liked the fact there were loads of books to choose from. If we only bring five, it would mean people just have fewer to choose from

sfxmum · 22/01/2007 14:55

that sounds good but best get reading

Nanou1 · 22/01/2007 15:33

I was just thinking of those of us who have to lug them on public transport [pokes tongue back at foxie]!

I can do the 17th - shall we all bring cake and things again?

sfxmum · 22/01/2007 17:02

nanou i think dd will survive the traumashe likes initiating contact after observing people otherwise she will protest loudly

puds - yes to cake cookies and any other goodies me thinks yum yum

foxabout2pop · 22/01/2007 17:33

Oooh yes - cakes and anything fattening please!!! Shall we do the picnic thing again on the floor! LOL!!

foxabout2pop · 22/01/2007 17:33

Ooops that picnic wasn't at the bookswap was it - doh!!

pudding77 · 24/01/2007 21:48

the picnic thing sounds fun though!

foxabout2pop · 25/01/2007 15:47

It was fun in a chaotic kind of way In the summer it'll be much easier as we can sit ouside, rather than trying to fit 16 people into my front room!! LOL

sfxmum · 25/01/2007 16:15

saturday 17th is good for me will try to think of savoury thing to bring otherwise it will be cookies or cake

MrsBigD · 25/01/2007 16:17

Shall give my aye or ney once we've moved and settled a bit and then I'll have to persuade dh to let me out for the day

foxabout2pop · 27/01/2007 06:28

Mellow - R U out there???

mellownomore · 27/01/2007 09:40

Hello foxie,

I haven't been on MN much this week. Work and fatigue from sleepless nights (dd wakes up twice in the night now) has kept me away.

I can make Feb 17 but I don't have any new books to bring with me though. I wouldn't mind coming round for a chat and some biscuits if that's okay.
