Would anyone like to be part of a reading group?
I need something to encourage me to read more regularly - i absolutely love to read but seem to have put it on the back burner recently....
want to get back to enjoying it again
I anyone is interested, we could agree on a book (easier said than done, I suspect!)
read it then discuss....
hmmmmmmm
anyone>?

OMG I really want to do this but Amazon cant deliver to me in time before I go away. Has anyone seen this in a supermarket or bookshop lately please, if so point me in that direction, thanks. x

Hulababy · 16/12/2003 19:04

I am sure it'll be in somewhere like Waterstones. Going to look on Friday.

If you can't get it let me know and I could always send it to you. Saturday is last posting for Christmas I think.

Can I join in? I'm reading The Red Tent at the moment. And I really can't tear myself away from it. So I think I'll have to miss this first book, unless I really work at it. When do we have to finish the Ya Ya sisterhood?
What are you planning to read next? Can I suggest The Red Tent or are we reading more light hearted books?

Sonnet · 17/12/2003 12:22

Can I join?
I'll try to get the bok tomorrow in waterstones...

Just loping by to say really pleased because had time yesterday to sneak into library on the way from nursery to work, and got 5 books for holiday reading, including 2 which I had been going to buy. I have been using the local library for the last year, ds loves it, and I have saved a lot of money. It actually has a really good collection of books which you want to read.

Festivefly · 19/12/2003 15:55

I've got my book!!!! Looks bobbins, but i'll give it a go

jinglesaur · 19/12/2003 16:03
