[mamandomi]

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

Walk I can send it to you if you wish anyway, as we're both in France?

Yes I am keen to get started aswell. Here are my five books:

The thirteenth tale - Diane Setterfield
Year of Wonders - Geraldine Brooks
The Piano Teacher - Janice Y.K Lee
The Litchen God's wife - Amy Taylor
American Wife - Curtis Sittenfield

The only book mentioned so far that I have read is 'Coastliners' but it was years a go.

Helen

great!
I have read none of your books! I have not checked my mailbox yet but have you sent me your details?

Not read any of the books mentioned - I'm off to look at my shelves (although all of yours sound much better than the trash I've got on mine!)

waded through the chicklit to get to:

Mudbound - Hillary Jordan
The host - Stephanie Meyer (thought I would hate it but loved it)
The kite runner - Khaled hosseini

Hi am I too late to join in? I am always missing these threads and seeing them too late.

I am just off out, but if someone can let me know if I can hop in, I will look on my shelf tomorrow and choose 5 books.

Oh hi WTD didn't realise it was you there!

Hello PAO I'm just everywhere these days. Hi Loler the only one of yours I've read is The Kite Runner - but it's a great book, I couldn't put it down.

Hello - another French one here (well English in France).

Do you need anyone else? Not quite sure of the principal of the thing?

jamais - I think we can fit you in! This is nearly a French thread!

Loler... sorry to be a pain I have read Mudbound and The Kite Runner (enjoyed them both)

My replacement book is Past Imperfect by Julian Fellowes.

Hello Jamaisjedors lol , no problem to join in you will be are 3rd british in france an I the only french in UK but I shall survive, just end me your address and I will have everybody organized ASP we should be able to send our books next week. We will keep the french group together, which one of you ladies would like to post back to the UK? Is there anyone willing to send to France. I am quite of struggling with money (long story you don't want to hear about hereand if someone was better of than me it would be great. However if no one can I will do it because I think it s great that you expats can be part of this
ok keep posting girls! I think we are a chatty bunch, it's great

Hi there,

Mamandomi I have read the Chinese Cinderella. _loved it!

WTD - I've read Its not about the bike - great read, love the man, He's amazingly inspirational.

loler - Also read the Kite Runner. Again a brilliant book.

I will post my books in the morning as I have had a little wine tonight, so thinking straight is not my forte!

I am English, living in England! Actually, the Isle of Wight. Sorry to go against the grain! I really don't mind posting across to France if that helps.

Will check in tomorrow.

If it helps I can be the one who brings books to France or sends them back the UK. DH works in London so he commutes back and forth at weekends so he can always bring the books to France if you post to him or I give them to him to take back to the UK and he can post them on. Whichever is easiest - although it's probably cheaper to send books to France than it is to send books from France, so maybe I should be the one posting back to the UK.

Will try and find another book to replace it's not about the bike - it's hard to get English books here so I might have to wait until next Thursday and go to the Book Exchange.

Yes I'm happy to post to England/Northern Ireland. Sorry for double post up there!^^

Am I too late to join?

If answer the answer is no, can I still join is I am not french/don't live in france?

Morning,

Have looked at the last 5 books I read and here they are:

Miss Fit by Maria Beaumont
Dublin by Edward Rutherfurd
The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff (I will be surprised if someone has not read this one!)
Blackbird by Jennifer Lauck
Remember Me by Lesley Pearse

I have noticed though that I am supposed to be a "lovely mum" to qualify. As long as you promise not to speak to one of my 5DC's I will try to bluff my way through that one!

Is it too late to join?? Would love to if there is space.

Just realised one of my books should say Kitchen God's wife not Litchen as I put.

Only book I have read that anyone has mentioned is The Kite Runner - which is a brilliant book. I also loved Thousand Splendid Sun by the same author.

Can't wait to get started.

Helen
