Hi Loler,
I've read The Suspicions of Mr Whicher earlier this year.
Others sound great though.

HC1 · 06/11/2009 15:13

Loler

Just to let you know I have read The abortionist's daughter.

mamandomi · 06/11/2009 15:49

Oh sorry positiveattitude, I got confused... I was trying to make a list o the people who had mailed me and I mixed up your name with your mn name. I did not seem strange to me as I have never heard your name before, it is very unusual so when I wrote my wee list I did not feel I was doing someting wrong and that they were user names... Sorry again

back to the book shelves - any one fancy reading Redgrave's Health & Safety as not sure I have much else!

positiveattitudeonly · 06/11/2009 16:41

Mamandomi -Don't worry. Mumsnet sorted it out.

loler - Health & safety! for leisure I have to wade through those for work - so I will have to say I have already read it - lol! We won't be sending 5 anyway, so it doesn't matter if you haven't got 5 surely.????

Oh I can't wait! What happens next?

LoveBeingAMummy · 06/11/2009 17:46

Am I right in thinking its 5 that I haven't read either?

mamandomi · 06/11/2009 18:30

No it does not matter if you do not have 5 tittles it was just for keeping a bit ok mystery.
Don't forget to send me your details if you want to get me going!

lovebeingamummy - No I think we are supposed to have read them. I would not have 5 that I have not read yet. I buy and read straight away, i don't hold a "stock".

That's how I assumed it was anyway. How do know where to send them to?

mamandomi · 06/11/2009 20:55

The book you will send is one you have read.
I am trying to organise the whole things, when I have everybody's details I will create the chain andendyou te address of eersn you will post to. I hope we can post next week

That makes it easier, although jades's diary and chris moyles diffcult second book are probably not suitable

positiveattitudeonly · 07/11/2009 09:20

Lovebeingamummy - I don't know I rather like the idea of Jade's Diary.

I have been mulling over which book to actually use and the one i am thinking of is a little....mmm......close to the knuckle, maybe for anyone who is a little moral-ish!!! WOuld anyone object to that? If so, I will send another. Just wanted your opinion. No way is it porn!! (Don't get excited!!) I just don't want to offend anyone - or have anyone think I am a dirty girl!!! .

walkthedinosaur · 07/11/2009 09:34

Just to say that I am off for the weekend and away until next Thursday so I won't be able to post until I am back, but I will do it as soon as I get back.

It's my first weekend off for six months...

mamandomi · 07/11/2009 10:53

So if I recapitulate. I think the only book you have read out of my list is the chineese cinderella, I should replace it by The savage garden by Marks Mills (I don't thin it was in my orignal list...or was it?

OP posts:
mamandomi · 07/11/2009 10:55
