maybe mrs s, you could edit the first post and put the timelines for reading/discussion and the title of the book, so we can use that as a reference?

thanks!! :)
done (i think) my brains melting! is that what you meant?
yup!! looks really good! thanks heaps!
Thanks for organising this - I'm really looking forward to it. I've found it hard to get stuck into my reading since having DS. Now I've got a fantastic excuse!!
I am so looking forward to being a part of this bookclub. Thanks MrsS!
I have just placed Love in the Time of Cholera on reserve at my local library. Gee, if I had a Kindle, I could have downloaded it and be reading it now!
Freya, I have PM'd my 3 suggestions.
Kaz, I agree that 'We need to talk about Kevin' would be a great book for a book club discussion.
ooohhh I'm excited! I ordered this month's book off of Ebay today! :) :dance: Can't wait for it to arrive!
Great choice, I am looking forward to reading the book :dance: I wanted to see the film, but never did...
I have just reserved it at the library. Bayside library in Melbourne has got another copy on the shelves in case anyone lives around here...
im going to the library tomorrow my local one has it in :dance: (hopefully its still there in the morning!)
I am ging to hunt it down tomorrow....do I have to put in suggestions..i kinda want to read some different stuff and have no idea what????
You dont have to suggest but you could try looking at a book review website or a bookstore for some idea's.
It would be handy to read books none of us have read or that might be out of a 'comfort zone'.
boomba totally up to you if you put in suggestions or not hun
I put a request in for the book today at the library hopefully in the next few days will have it
I got it!! Finally found a copy at the library. After I put it on hold.... but they have decided to transfer the country library copy to me instead :rolleyes: Oh well, I've got it. I'm all enthused now, and I am going away for a couple weeks from next week so hopefully lots of reading time!!
Oh i just found this thread! I didn't realise we'd started a new one :) Will have a look on Monday for the book and will think of some ideas to PM you Freya ;)
Cool ok...so maybe books i have always wanted to read but have been scared too lol
Boomba - i'm off to the shops today (finally have a day off to do things around the house) - do you want me to track down a copy for you?
I too am hoping to read books i wouldn't normaly pick up, i think being a part of this bookclub will encourage me to broarden my 'horizons' a bit more :D
My reserved copy is at the local shops so when the boys wake up we'll walk down and pick it up :)
ooooooo my book arrived today! EXCITING!
Picked the book up from the library today!!!
Got a 2 hr plane flight on monday so saving it for plane reading... i will be MIA for pretty much all of next week..
dont miss me too much
xox
My copy is ordered too but might take up to two weeks to arrive :( Sometimes it sucks living in the country.
Freya - I had two books to pm you but I've forgotten one of them :doh: so will wait until it resurfaces from the depths and write it down!!
Just found this thread! I'm going to try and pick this one up and give it a read... I'm in another book club and we go six-weekly so in six weeks I *should* be able to get thru two books!
Woo!
Picked up my copy today! At the post office...amazing the stuff that is sold there really! Happy reading everyone. :D
Im still waiting for mine to come in at the library, its great to see so many BB members on board!
Afternoon Ladies. I reserved a copy at the local library.. so hoping i get it soon!! i wanna read
Has anyone else finished reading their copy yet? :) I know I know I should wait for discussion time!
WTG peach!!! I wish the library would hurry up and get my book lol
Haven't even begun yet :o I've got one on the go and i hate leaving things unfinished... I better get a move on... ;)
Oh I couldnt believe my library had a copy, lucky for sure! I know what you mean Myboys, Im two books into a 9 book series but couldnt get my hands on the third for now, so figured Id jump on board the book club. Hope your copy comes soon MrsS!
I cant find it! Punks I didnt see your post that would have been great....I will head to borders tomorrow and see if I can pick one up :)
Holy moly went to find a copy of the book in A&R today - $27.99! Think I'll be trolling Ebay or the like instead lol
Oh sheesh, I just looked at the first page thought I had to be finished near the 19th not just have found it! :doh: Ok well Ill be back in a few weeks :)
Freya, shop around! Dymocks has Penguin classics for $9.95. Borders should have copies too. GL.:
Penguin classics at Australia Post and most book shops for under $10!
i pick mine up from the library on sat!
I think this book club is good motivation to join your local library!
Hi,
I hope it isnt too late to join.
I read all styles, but i do tend to read more crime than anything else.
I will look around for this book. Im excited about this!!!
thanks
Yay I got mine today! $8 at borders! Woohoo bargin..I plan on buying all the bookclub books so I can have a decent library :)
its never too late to join Lisa! :D
Woo hoo! I picked my copy up from the library yesterday. Will start this weekend.
Boomba, what a bargain!
Mrs S - Thanks. Now i have to track down the book!
