Hello, My name is Dominique, I am a keen reader and I just find this idea of a book club fabulous. I was too late for joining the last thread s I guess the best is to start a new one. I am a mother of 2 (3 years and a great reader of 12) My house is full of books (in french and english.....
Well I hope to meet you soon
have a nice day
Dominique

Sorry guys (esp PA) had manaeged to delete the thread from my watch list and just slipped my mind. Was snowed in and then realised that I hadn't MOT'd my car so ahve been without wheels till last night (very good job it went in from what they said )

Just had a look and I need your address again PA and I will send straight out.

My New Years Res is to stop holding up the book club

LoveBeingAMummy · 24/01/2010 21:38

PA - let me know when you hvae recieved it.

walkthedinosaur · 25/01/2010 12:01

I've received my book. Will try and read it quckly in the next week.

PositiveAttitude · 25/01/2010 15:20

HEY!!! I've got mine too!!!

I will do what I can to get through this as soon as possible and will post on as soon as I can, but wiseoldelf, please understand I have only just received it, so it may be a few days late coming to you.

Right, is everyone getting on alright with their January books? Don't forget to add a post on the relevant thread and I presume we should be ready to post on again within a week.

HERE we go, lets hope February runs smoothly.

LoveBeingAMummy · 26/01/2010 17:05

Glad its got there safe and sound. Hvae set myself a daily number of pages to read to ensure i can send on as soon as

walkthedinosaur · 28/01/2010 08:47

Jamais have just realised that we're at the end of January already and I need to be posting my book on. As you probably know I just got it on Monday so am not going to be finished by this weekend, however, it's really good, I'm enjoying it (even missed Desperate Housewives last night to read it) so if it's OK I'll probably have it finished by next weekend, is that OK with you?

Just to let you know I didn't start a thread for the book I sent you as I didn't read enough of it to give a review.

jamaisjedors · 28/01/2010 11:49

Hi wtd, please don't worry, I know you got the book really late so I'm not expecting it for a bit.

I am 3/4 of the way through mine, should be finished by next week to send to FlyingCloud before she has the baby!

I will start reading something else in the meantime I think so don't rush, if I know it's coming at some point that'll be fine.

I'll be in the UK from 12th Feb to 19th so maybe you could send it before the 12th if possible?

Thanks very much.

PositiveAttitude · 29/01/2010 11:25

LoveBeingAMummy- Did you start a thread about Flying Cloud's book? I can't find one, so if you didn't I will start one.

Finished already . Is everyone passing on again by the end of next week? (Except WTD)

LoveBeingAMummy · 29/01/2010 14:44

PA you are fantastic

And no i didn't

PositiveAttitude · 29/01/2010 15:14

Thats fine. I will start one.

walkthedinosaur · 29/01/2010 15:20

Actually as a result of the majority of my pupils being on work experience for the last two days and their teachers forgetting to tell me, I have spent many hours with my feet up on a desk at work reading my book, so only have a little bit left which hopefully will get finished over the weekend, so will definitely be posting early next week.

loler · 29/01/2010 16:46

Have just noticed the date - will have to have a late nighter!

PositiveAttitude · 29/01/2010 20:04

WTD You got paid while you sat and read your book???

My children have been neglected for 3 days and no housework done. (don't need much of an excuse for that one!!)

I think it is hilarious that we are now ready to post on, before anyone else!!

jamaisjedors · 29/01/2010 20:40

Should have finished mine by Monday to post out, hope Flying cloud is around?

walkthedinosaur · 30/01/2010 08:46

Have finished my book, will post on Tuesday as am at work on Monday.

walkthedinosaur · 30/01/2010 10:56

I've found a bit of a problem with our not naming the book in the title of our review, I don't know whose book I'm reading, because she hasn't put her mumsname name at the front of the book. So I don't really know if a thread has been started to review the book.

PositiveAttitude · 30/01/2010 11:58

WTD - Working it out, if your book came from HC1,and not MD, I think your book should be Loler's. If we get that confirmed on here, then perhaps you could put loler in the front cover.

Isn't this fun! Hope you have all enjoyed your books!

flyingcloud · 30/01/2010 12:08

I'm here - will send out next week... still no baby!

walkthedinosaur · 30/01/2010 13:04

Using my incredible sleuthing abilities I found where I had to write my review and you're right it is Loler's book.

Come on FC we're waiting for the book club baby!

HC1 · 30/01/2010 17:12

WTD I should be ready to post on Wednesday - hope that's okay. Yes you're right it is Loler's boook I meant to write her name in it but forgot and only remembered once I left the post office.

I now need to get reading!

jamaisjedors · 30/01/2010 17:45

FC when are you due?

Look out for my book in the next couple of days.

Keep us posted!
