i've just recieved the Empty Chair by some scary baldy chap called Jeffery Deaver. Anyone read it? (looks a bit blokey to me but I will read anything)

WelshBoris · 15/06/2006 12:11

very good book, enjoy it

FrannyandZooey · 15/06/2006 13:13

What's the rule if we don't like a book, do we have to finish it anyway out of a sense of duty, or can we get a note from our mums?

fullmoonfiend · 15/06/2006 13:36

''please miss, I couldn't finish the book, I have a sprained finger...''' Grin

UCM · 15/06/2006 15:43

I think we ahve to try and finish really but if it's so crap in your opinion, you could get a review off amazon and lie Grin

Filly, just get everyone to email you their rl addys, when you have your list, try to map out where people are and create some sort of postal circle so scotland isn't sending to cornwall etc. I forgot to do this on our one and realised afterwards. Send the list of addys to everyone on your list. And every one posts to the address underneath theirs apart from the bottom person who posts to the top person.

Relly easy.

[slightly disgruntled]

but I just bought 3 books I really, really want to read and I am bored of this one...

will skim read, I could post a review already anyway. I don't personally mind if people don't finish the books as long as they have had a good stab at it :)

MarsLady · 15/06/2006 17:02

In post today kipper!

kickassangel · 15/06/2006 17:18

f&z, please don't stab my book!

i sent mine a few days ago, but have not yet got a 2nd one. i think it should be coming from katyrocks? but then my post always takes a day or two longer.

FillyjonktheFluffy · 15/06/2006 17:25

WHAAAAT?

Hmmm

I have been misconstrued.

Oh crap.

kickassangel · 15/06/2006 17:47

ooh, fullmoonfiend, now i know who you are - i'm posting to you. i did do a brief comment on it if you're interested. i definitely thought it was a blokey book. the blokes equivalent of maeve binchy - lots of plot, reasonably interesting

fullmoonfiend · 15/06/2006 18:08

Helllooo Kickassangel!
I will give it a go, as I'm trying hard not to read the new books I've bought for my forthcoming hols. Talk about not judging a book by its cover :)

PanicPants · 15/06/2006 18:31

If you don't like a book you just say so on the review I supose.

Are we still sending on to the same people? Or have new people been inserted (!) onto the list? I'm confused.

bresha · 15/06/2006 18:58

If you don’t like a book then you don’t like it, there is no point in trying to read it. At least you tried.
no point in lying on a review, every one is entitled to there own opinion

trinityrhino · 15/06/2006 19:01

pleeeease can I join??
what do we do???
I love books
please let me play

Smile
PanicPants · 15/06/2006 19:03

Yes makes sense bresha and then just say so on the review.

How you doing with the portable door? I'm floundering a bit with the sequal atm

FrannyandZooey · 15/06/2006 19:05

I think there'll definitely need to be a second book swapping circle to accomodate all the newies, don't you think? Otherwise the circle is going to be huge and unmanageable.

Yes I agree it is silly to struggle on with a book if it's not doing the trick for you. It's not a bad book or anything, I just don't think I'm in the mood for it, but I have been pleased to try it. It is great to get a wide range of titles and of course I'll still put my thoughts on the review thread.
