Just setting us up.

Are you thinking of your books that you might be putting in? I will have a look and post mine within the next few days. - I will try harder than my awful one from last time, that none of you liked. Blush

You two take care - Goes to show from the moment of conception that dc are a worry.

Hi all, think my book is only a month behind. It should have been with JamaisJedors on April 1st. If PA gets it read quickish we should be able to catch up within a month.

I've read my book already - and posted a review on the FB group.

Ok that's fine - I'm a quick reader!

PositiveAttitude · 19/04/2011 12:20

Thanks everyone. Your book has got me hooked 5ofus. Was convinced I wouldn't read past the first page when I opened it, but can't put it down now, so I probably won't be long.

First nag reminder for people to be ready to send off by the end o the month. Grin (see, if I grin I think I will be forgiven for nagging - doesn't work with DH, though!! Hmm )

JJ I will be posting today. You have 2 books coming, one is from last month, one from this. (letter inside explaining which to read first). Smile

Has everyone got ready to post this week? If you cannot post before Thursday please let me know.
Dont forget that its Bank holidays on Friday and next Monday, so it will take longer to arrive.

Posted today [csmile]

mdavza · 30/04/2011 19:13

Posted today (hides away guiltily from PA...)

Big news here is that we are moving to CA, like in California, USA. My DH basically got an offer that is hard to resist, and coupled with the new immigration laws that are making it more and more difficult for us to stay here, we have decided to go. When is still uncertain, and I will let you know when to remove me from the list as soon as I have a date. I don't think I should add more to my list of to-do's when we've moved there, and postage to USA might be prohibitive, so I think it's best if I make an exit from this positive group. Or what do you think?
Stay well!

PositiveAttitude · 30/04/2011 19:23

Wow big news indeed mdavza. Hope all goes well for you. I am not too sure if it would work TBH with books going to CAlifornia as I know it can take ages for postage. Maybe you could bow out for a month or two until you are sorted then we could look into how much it would cost and see if its is possible.

Keep going until you know whats happening.

Everyone else on track??????

jamaisjedors · 01/05/2011 16:30

Not ignoring you, waiting for my books, hopefully will get them on Monday and get reading fast!

V. big news mdavza - fingers crossed it all goes well - how do you feel about the move?

mdavza · 02/05/2011 06:40

Thanks for asking, jamais. To be honest, I would have preferred it to be more of a choice and less of being pushed because of the silly new immigration laws, but there you have it. I'm becoming more excited now, since my Dh will be earning a bigger salary and I'll be able to be a housefemale for a while. I'll get bored, and would want to work, but then again, there are loads to do, and pools, and sunshine, and it will be great to spend time with my son. We've also decided to get another baby when we're there (BIG smile!). So all in all, mostly positive.

I also thought that I might need to bow out from the group, but let's see how it goes.

Enjoy the holiday!

LoveBeingAbleToNamechange · 02/05/2011 08:46

mdavza ~ WOW very exciting news, for group I would come and deliver the books to you, but just for the good of the group you understand Grin. We could let you know the books we are Reading and you could still join in?

Bobolbach · 03/05/2011 21:44

Got your book today Mdavza. Thanks.
Sorry I've not been on here for ages. Mum was up visiting and then we were on holiday, and the weeks have raced by.

Very exciting news about the move - although with the great weather we're all having at the moment I'm not too jealous (but will be when the inevitable rain comes!)

I'm really sorry but I haven't posted on yet. PROMISE I will do it tomorrow. Sorry Makingchanges - you should have it on Thursday.
RIght I'm going to head over to FB to to the reviews.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

jamaisjedors · 04/05/2011 09:52

I am racing through last month's book (received from PA on Monday). I think I will have finished it by the end of the month so will post on quick sharp so as not to hold things up - I think we will probably make up for the "missing" month at this rate.

ChickFlit · 04/05/2011 09:55

DH is going to post my book on today. JJ if you email me the name of the book, I'll try and get it on my Kindle and then no need for you go so fast with it.

jamaisjedors · 04/05/2011 10:50

Hi Chickflit. Honestly I'll have finished it by tonight I think and will post on tomorrow, it's a very easy read. It's 4.99 for the kindle edition so probably not worth you paying for it if I can send it to you in a couple of days.

ChickFlit · 04/05/2011 12:03

OK JJ if that's OK with you then I'm happy to wait. I've got another book to finish before I start anyhow.

I just didn't want you rushing through it just to send on to me in time.

loler · 04/05/2011 12:25

I love California - if being forced to live any where in the world - I wouldn't mind it being there (with DH current job the only place we could be sort of forced to live is Abu Dhabi and that is the last place I would want to go!). Good luck with the move, new baby and sunshine!

I've received today and I posted this morning (I'm blaming the bank holidays for not getting to the post office!)

5ofus · 04/05/2011 20:22

No book here with me yet :o(

Luckily Charlaine Harris' newest one arrived yesterday to keep me busy - shame I finished it today!

5ofus · 04/05/2011 20:24

Oops - that was supposed to be a sad smiley with an " o " for a nose.
