Hiya

The following people want in:

Autumnlady
Dozymare
TheDrsWife
Bubbaz
Yorky
PinkyMinky

Any more for any more???

I think the sensible way to do it is that each person sends their book to the same person every month to avoind confusion ie:

Autumnlady to Dozymare, Dozymare to DrsWife etc etc

We could do this on a certain day every month such as the 30th or something? I am open to offers on how fast people read etc.

Let me know what you think

i'll email yorky as she said further down the thread that she was sending the book last week. Could be the fault of the lovely Royal Mail!

bubbaz · 21/06/2008 08:35

Autumnlady I posted your substitute book last night. If yours arrives just send it back to me - unless anyone else wants to read it in which case they are very welcome!
It can just be a floater

Hi Bubbaz
Got the book this morning, thank you Started reading it already instead of cleaning my kitchen!!!!!

Dozy - I sent mine but not received one but Bubbaz very kindly sent one in Creena's place. I will email her to see if she's OK but otherwise we can just do some jiggling around to make sure we keep going! I can add another book in so that Bubbaz doesn't receive her book back in the general mix - if that makes sense???!!
Really enjoy this and would love to keep it going for as long as poss

DrsWife = Sent and received mine!!

Can i just say my Dh offered to buy me a new book today and i declined as i had my MN one. normally i'd buy loads but want to focus on this one book. i love having a surprise in the post. not often it happens in adult life!

twinklingfairy · 23/06/2008 18:13

OMG I can't believe it, but I have finished my book!!!
I really wasn't sure that I was going to like it or get on with it at all, next thing I know I am hooked. My curiosity and confusion as to what in the world was going on did not allow me to put it down. With the result that I started it at about 3ish yesterday and was up until 2.30 am finishing it!!
Crazy I have not read a book so fast in all my life!
My mum now has it and has been given her deadline

Who sent out The Handmaidens Tale?

Dozymare · 23/06/2008 21:15

Twinkling I was the same!!! I read it 10 years ago and didn't enjoy it (or rather didn't get past the what the hell is going on stage) but this time...OMG couldn't put it down!!!

Have finished my book - Deception Point, Dan Brown...really enjoyed it although was a tinyt bit bored at the end as was ever so slightly predictable....

how is everyone else getting on???

Did you all get books in the end???

AutumnLady · 02/07/2008 10:03

I didn't get one in the end from Creena (hope she's OK) so maybe we can jiggle the list around a bit? I can put another one in the mix to send off so that's not a problem.

I'm happy to come back if you'll have me. I feel soo much better now.

Welcome back Pinky!!
Glad you are feeling better now. Will just check with dozy as she has done this list but you could probably fit in where you were before ie just replacing Creena. Does that make sense?

Dozy - over to you.....
