Well... I'd love to meet you all!

Anyone who thinks they might be interested in coming to meet and talk books, post here.

There are going to be lots of dates, ideas and places and i wonder if anyone would be willing to organise with me?? It would mean private messaging and perhaps moving to WhatsApp or email at some point. Maybe 3 of us?

Serious commitment Fuzzy!

I know! I even missed my dinner but hope to remedy that soon :)

BestIsWest · 17/05/2024 20:32

Hope you have a great time. I’m very envious. I will be stuck in a airport thinking of you all.

TattiePants · 17/05/2024 20:42

Have a fabulous time.

Tarahumara · 17/05/2024 20:51

I can't make it either but hope you have a fab time!

Hello all, @PermanentTemporary will be sending you all another email with my phone number (just in case) and the what three words location.

Without divulging everything here, meeting 12 noon, some bookish chat and rambling and a pub has been booked for 2pm where you can get food if you wish to (I will be).

For anyone who is worried about mobility, I am planning to be quite lazy tomorrow as I’ve still got some dodgy issues with my ankle.

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 17/05/2024 22:18

Thank you for the email!

JaninaDuszejko · 17/05/2024 22:45

Hope you all have a fab time.

SheilaFentiman · 18/05/2024 01:29

Thanks for the email, can’t wait!

PepeLePew · 18/05/2024 07:59

Choosing a book is hard! I have narrowed it down to three options. No idea how I'm going to pick; it's like picking a favourite child.

SheilaFentiman · 18/05/2024 08:34

I had to quickly regroup because I accidentally spilt moisturiser on one choice!! All good, though.

CrepuscularCritter · 18/05/2024 08:34

Book is chosen. I would be second guessing myself, but I'm on the train and it's a done deal. Smile See you later!

Welshwabbit · 18/05/2024 08:56

Sorry I can't make it today. I hope you have a lovely meet!

PermanentTemporary · 18/05/2024 09:13

En route! Heading into London on a melting soft May morning. What a joy.

@Welshwabbit - sorry you can’t make it today and not to meet you. Hopefully another time…

Welshwabbit · 18/05/2024 09:34

I am really sorry not to be meeting all of you! Work has blown up and I can't afford to take the afternoon off. Which is very annoying but in the nature of my job so I can't moan too much. I am very impressed with all the organisation that has gone into this and hope there will be another in future (in which I might be able to play more of an active part!).

StColumbofNavron · 18/05/2024 10:02

I’ve not picked the book yet. Eek. I have marinated a load of kebabs and about to jump in the shower and sort the washing for the DC to make a start on whilst I am out.

I can’t believe it’s arrived.

StrangewaysHereWeCome · 18/05/2024 11:42

Have a great day! I do hope to be at the Manchester one if that gets off the ground.

DesdamonasHandkerchief · 18/05/2024 11:50

Have fun everyone, can't believe I'm in Manchester this weekend when you're having the London meet and will be at Wembley during the Manchester meet weekend!

That is very bad timing. I need to book my train to Manchester, summer holiday is booked so no clash there at least.

PermanentTemporary · 18/05/2024 12:41

At the British Library and all good! Probably moving off soon, three still in our thoughts but not arrived, give the mobile a call to find us
