thanks Tilly, DH taking the boys away this weekend so hoping to make short work of the book Smile

AfternoonsandCoffeespoons · 18/08/2011 14:13

Sorry not posted my book yet. Had it all ready to post today but i'm poorly so cant get to post office. Sad Will try extra hard tomorrow or at the very very latest will be saturday. Sorry.

tillyfernackerpants · 18/08/2011 17:16

Afternoons, hope you feel better soon

Haribojoe, glad it got there ok, hope you enjoy it Smile

dinkystinky · 18/08/2011 17:23

Its ok Afternoons - you've got tomorrow and sat to post - book just has to be posted during the course of this week. Hope you feel better soon.

Tilly - have you got your book? I didnt want to "out" you to your postman so just labelled it for the lady of the house..

tillyfernackerpants · 18/08/2011 17:45

Dinky, I'm at my parents now but dh has informed me it has arrived, thanks. Will start it next week!

dinkystinky · 21/08/2011 19:28

So hopefully everyone has got their book by now - or at least posted their book on. If you were late in posting can you please pm your recipient to let them know it's on the way. Happy reading all.

Giggling - my book features quite heavily on this thread. Grin

piebald · 22/08/2011 10:02

Thanks ElectricSoftParade, it arrived safely. Thats great i had been tempted to buy it-you have just saved me a fiver!

piebald · 22/08/2011 10:05

We will all look forward to that then Swampster (oh please dont let it be Dan Brown i have never wanted to read that)

Haribojoe · 22/08/2011 11:54

can someone remind my dimwitted babybrain, do we send on our books when we've finished them or do we just send them once a month?

clingingtosanity · 22/08/2011 12:13

My book has just arrived, thanks kiwijesta Smile

Looks fab and I can't wait to get started on it Grin

dinkystinky · 22/08/2011 12:28

Just send on once a month Haribojoe - otherwise we're going to have a book logjam somewhere...

kiwijesta · 24/08/2011 23:37

Got my book too, thanks (god I've forgotten who, sorry) and am halfway through it.

Clingingtosanity, hope its not too long, next months is shorter, but I'm really enjoying it!

kiwijesta · 24/08/2011 23:48

It was Rufus who sent it! Thanks again, just got a prod in the back from DH to turn the headlamp off so he could sleep, spoilsport!

dinkystinky · 25/08/2011 09:44

Piebald - I've almost finished the book you sent me. As fat controller of the clun, I can definitely say it doesnt contravene the sci fi ban - but it is a really good book (is making my commute to and from work whizz by) Grin

acsec · 25/08/2011 10:36

I finished my book last weekend, feeling a little bereft now! Though I do have lots of books to read before the next book clun one comes :)

swampster · 25/08/2011 16:51

I still haven't had my book.

dinkystinky · 25/08/2011 16:57

Tsk Tsk JK - hurry up with that book or swampster will start e-stalking you...

AfternoonsandCoffeespoons · 25/08/2011 17:46

Was very late posting my book (today Blush) as I have been ill and not even left the house for about a week! Have PMed JK to say its on its way - that migth prompt her to send her own book! Grin

musttidyupmusttidyup · 25/08/2011 19:03

Did you like it acsec?

acsec · 25/08/2011 19:49

musttidyup when it arrived I thought "oh no, all the things I would never choose in a book", however once I started it I couldn't put it down - hence the quick finish. Really enjoyed it, thank you for broadening my reading horizons :)

musttidyupmusttidyup · 25/08/2011 21:33

That's why I wanted to do the book clun - I need a change but don't really know where to turn. I like that the decisions are being made for me. Glad you enjoyed acsec. Smile

AfternoonsandCoffeespoons · 25/08/2011 21:50

Should we start some threads to discuss the books or will we do it on this thread? Just thinking about spoilers. And the fact that this thread will be huge and complicated if we all talk over each other IYSWIM?

acsec · 25/08/2011 23:01

Good point Afternoons, I don't know the clun ettiquette. How are you getting on with my book?

swampster · 25/08/2011 23:26

I think book club etiquette calls for individual threads. It didn't really work last time round - no one really bothered to write on/follow all the threads.

However... This is a clun so normal rules don't apply. I vote we all stay here and chat, spoilers amd all.
