PA have just seen this, excellent news - I'll have a celebratory glass of wine just for you tonight.

PositiveAttitude · 25/09/2010 09:27

Right, back to bossy boots mode!!! Grin

Is everyone ready to pass on again for the October round?

JJ Did you ever receive from FC? Shall I hold onto my book going to her until we hear something. I did not hear whether she received August or September's.

Dont forget to do the reviews ladies...

SuperLapin · 25/09/2010 16:45

I'm ready!!! DH taking book home this week and will post via his work's franking machine next week.

Nice to see you're back on form PA

MajorPettigrew · 26/09/2010 18:16

I'm ready - will post a review in a few days or so.

PA - I've heard nothing from Lovebeing... so will send to you.

PositiveAttitude · 26/09/2010 18:30

Ok, Perhaps I will drop her a line and ask if she wants to just let us know when/if she wants to hop back in again, but lets just keep it as it is until we hear differently. Thanks,

jamaisjedors · 27/09/2010 11:22

Nothing from flying cloud, I will send her a message.

So I have nothing to post on I'm afraid this month.

I have a book in-hand, so I could post you a book this week, which could be posted on as soon as you have finished? I could post both books to you and by-pass FC, but think I should try and contact her first and see if we get anywhere...

What do you think?

jamaisjedors · 27/09/2010 13:27

I will wait to hear back from her - thanks.

I'll let you know asap.

MajorPettigrew · 29/09/2010 20:02

PA - posted to you today, so you should get the book in the next couple of days.

Hope everyone is doing well. I've only got 7 weeks until due date now and I'm starting to panic......... it's coming round too quickly! Arrgghhhhh.

PositiveAttitude · 01/10/2010 09:42

Just received it major, thank you. Grin

Foul weather here, just right for an afternoon relax and read!! Wink

JJ have you heard anything from FC? ready to post on to you if not, so just let me know what you want me to do.

loler · 04/10/2010 12:08

HC - Am just heading to postoffice - missed it on friday (sorry) - will send first class so should be with you soon.

SuperLapin · 06/10/2010 11:49

DH has posted today, the numpty has had the book on his desk at work for a week, but has promised me that the book will go today. Sorry for the delay.

Hope everyone is well.

HC1 · 06/10/2010 17:02

Thanks Loler have received book.

WTF - posted the Rushdie book today so should be with you soon.

MP - posted next book to you today - sorry for slight delay.

Hope everyone is good. This round seems to be moving much quicker than the last.

PositiveAttitude · 07/10/2010 13:56

jj - executive decision here. I am going to be sending the 2 books that I have here on to you. Actually I drove into town specially and went to the post office this morning, I stood in a queue for 10 minutes before I realised that I had left the books at home. Blush
Sooooooo, I will try again tomorrow.

loler · 07/10/2010 17:32

Lapin - I have thanks. Still working through true blood (one more to go!) so will start soon. Trying not to judge a book by it's cover!

PositiveAttitude · 07/10/2010 18:53

Oh no!! Loler dont!!!!! I added that book because it was of a genre that we had not had before. I should have stayed safe!!!

jamaisjedors · 07/10/2010 19:00

Oh thanks PA, that's great. I am feeling a bit deprived!

I will be away next week but it will be great to get a new book to come back to.

PositiveAttitude · 08/10/2010 10:46

Oh dear, sorry to have missed you before you went away, but ahve a good time.

jamaisjedors · 08/10/2010 11:15

Great - thanks!

Hi there,

I owe you all a massive apology again, very, very sorry.

I have been away for much of September and my laptop broke recently so have only caught up with your messages.

I am going to have to bail out again. Life is just too busy right now, I just don't have any time off and am travelling lots. I got two books early and mid-September so I will post those on to JJD - one of which I have already read.

I'll just wait to get my book back at the end again if that's ok?

jamaisjedors · 09/10/2010 08:01

Ok fine, glad to hear you are ok.

Sorry that you have to drop out, let us know at any time if you change your mind.

Looks like I will be getting lots of books this month - are you sure you want to post on the one you haven't read?

PA is also sending me a couple of books, I will have to check back on the facebook thread to see which one I should read first.

Drop in and say hello if you get a chance.

PositiveAttitude · 10/10/2010 09:13

Thanks for letting us know FC.

So, we are a bit short now. I have just posted 2 books to JJ, so whoever is expecting from her may have a little wait, but they are on their way.

How is everyone else doing this month? Any other problems?????

MajorPettigrew · 14/10/2010 21:25

Sorry to hear that FC.

HC I got the book last week - sorry I didn't post earlier to let you know, but completely forgot! No excuses.

Still haven't posted my review either. Will nip onto FB to do it now.

Hope you're all OK. School holidays here, so not a lot of reading getting done at the moment.

By the way - I was wondering. Have any of you read Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett?
It is starting as a series on Channel 4 on Sat night - really looking forward to it as the book is terrific. Hope it matches up.

PositiveAttitude · 15/10/2010 06:30

Hi Major, I hope the TV programme lives up to your expectations. I havent read the book, but personally I avoid things where I have read the book, because I always end up disappointed that what was in my head is so different from what is on the screen!!

Just to let you all know I am away next week, so all behave yourselves in my absence. Grin
