Have a feeling I've got love in the time of cholera too

spacedonkey · 19/12/2004 21:41

the toni morrison one? god yes, it's on my must read list!

WideWebWitch · 19/12/2004 21:42

God, I couldn't be like that! All my books look read. But not crusty!

spacedonkey · 19/12/2004 21:42

I'm a bit of a fan of a well thumbed book - it shows it's been loved

WideWebWitch · 19/12/2004 21:43

So are we on for a swap of Beloved for the catherine M one? It's an old hardback edition but the words are the same!

JanH · 19/12/2004 21:44

spacedonkey · 19/12/2004 21:44

Grrr I typed a big reply then my connection went barmy!

I have not so fond memories of taking books out the library as a child to find pages stuck together with what could only resemble boggies!

I am happy to do the swap with spacedonkey then (although I do feel a bit cheeky as Popsycal was first on the list). I will be sure to put it on my read next list and pass it onto Pops ASAP.

On a side note I didn't realise you were pg popsycal, congratulations! I think your youngest and my youngest DS are about the same age. Is this number 2 or 3?

OP posts:
spacedonkey · 19/12/2004 21:51

popsycal · 19/12/2004 21:52

or under book club???

OP posts:
spacedonkey · 19/12/2004 21:52

yes book club would be better really wouldn't it, silly me!

Demented · 19/12/2004 21:55

My DS2 is 2 years 6 months, thought they were similar in age. All the best for the next few weeks!

Know what you mean about not liking being pg, I hate being pg!
