Well I hope to meet you soon

Ok so my list;

Jades diary (as requested [smile)]
The Lovely Bones ~ Alice Sebold
Next ~ Michael Crichton

Sorry for the delay, all of my books have gone into storage so only have the ones I haven't read left on the shelf, however have managed to get this list together from ones i have read recently.

I am feeling thicker than thick but how do I choose what to send to who?

Duh...

Espedair Street : Ian Banks
Black Swan Green : David Mitchell
Angels : A S Byatt
The other side of you : Sally Vickers
Pears on a Willow Tree : Leslie Pietrzyk

flyingcloud · 16/11/2009 07:13

I don't have anyone's address! I am away for work for until the end of the week, so if you get this before 12pm today I can try and send today, thanks.

Jamais, I haven't read any of yours.

positiveattitudeonly · 16/11/2009 07:14

Morning,

Yes, I got LOLERs address and will try and get to the post office today, if not definitely tomorrow.

Good luck everyone!

So, do we come on here and say what we think, or do we keep it all a secret?

walkthedinosaur · 16/11/2009 08:08

Jamais I need your address to send you a book, I don't have CAT facility so do you want to email mamandomi with your contact details and then I can go down to La Poste tomorrow with your book and we can get started.

jamaisjedors · 16/11/2009 10:04

Hi walkthedinosaur I have sent my address to mamandomi - I now have flying cloud's address so will send out this week.

mamandomi · 16/11/2009 13:04

ok, I have just sent the addresses of jamaisjedors et LoveBeingAMummy we shoul all have our addresse now.... or have I forgotten somebody, please let me know....
so to recapitulate for thoses to whom this is not clear:

this week we all send one book to the person we got the address.
once we have receive the book we open a new thread concerning this book so each of us will open a thread and give it a name
for ie:
Lovely mums: " domi's book"
I suggest we do not reveal the title of the book but the name of who sent it first (so let s write our name in the book before we send it, or if it is too late could the first person who reads it write who it belongs to)So we always have a surprise
then we speak about the book with giving out the story, say waht we liked about it, what we did not like etc....
then next month we send of the book we had receive to the same person we sent out book to and so on every month, that is what makes a chain.....
then we once we have read the book we go to the thread of the book in question and add our comments.
So is it clear for every one??????

Cannot wait to get my book
Have a good day

flyingcloud · 16/11/2009 17:50
