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

Do you think if I sit here at my desk making gasping noises DH will bring me a large glass of wine - he's ignoring me so far.

PositiveAttitude · 30/05/2010 20:55

OK secret it is then.

I think we can put the next 2 points together:
Size/thickness of book and hardback/paperback?

LoveBeing34 · 30/05/2010 20:55

HOw dare he

HC1 · 30/05/2010 20:55

Shall we go for secret then and move on to suggesting our next books.

JasonIsaacsIsRatherGorgeous · 30/05/2010 20:55

I'm not bothered by thickness but no hardbacks.

LoveBeing34 · 30/05/2010 20:56

I'm easy on this one.

PositiveAttitude · 30/05/2010 20:56

jIIRG My DH has just humphed at having to get his own cup of coffee "bloomin MN!!!"

HC1 · 30/05/2010 20:56

Agree with JIIRG.

loler · 30/05/2010 20:56

One of the books I most enjoyed (the dragon tattoo one) was really long and thick but managed to read it more quickly than one of the shorter books that I didn't like. I think it would be a shame to limit the size

PositiveAttitude · 30/05/2010 20:57

I agree, some of the thicker ones have been the best reads and I have got through them quicker.

Postage for hard backs is expensive going abroad, so do we agree?

HC1 · 30/05/2010 20:58

agree

PositiveAttitude · 30/05/2010 20:58

LOL loler!! Psychic!!

JasonIsaacsIsRatherGorgeous · 30/05/2010 20:59

Agreed.

PositiveAttitude · 30/05/2010 20:59

Do you think thats going ot be rude, or will it be ok.

Also, if anyone posts that they want to join us, Shall I just post a polite, but firm message to look elsewhere.

Yes yes to closed clique (get me, I'm in a click!).

No to hardbacks.
