Yes that is a great offer and thanks for that too Dee, I will remember in future if there is another classic. Waves back to Mike Hi..... again! Ann Glos

Just 'waving' to say hello fellow Greaders.

Hi Ann Glad the book arrived OK, let me know if you need any other classics, it is a fantastic offer isn't it? Dee x

Hi Lucia - yaaaaayyy you made it !!! Ann - just making an educated guess from your spinning head lol !! Maz. XX

Lucia, of course you can. Maz, Our library gets the books from any of the other Gloucestershire libraries which costs me 70p. Now I haven't said whether or not i am enjoying it!!!! Ann Glos

Can I join your book group? :-)

don't forget that sometimes you have to wait for another borrower to return a book - sometimes all copies in your area are out on loan at the same time! Ann - I am getting a foretaste of your review from that comment lol - think we will differ again!! Maz. XX

Hi Kaz, from our library it can take from 2 days to just over a week to get requested books. Good luck. Ann Glos

Hi Ann I had to order time travellers wife and my cousin Rachel, fingers crossed they don't take to long. Nice to see some more peeps joining in! Hi to y'all! Kaz :o)

Dee Hard Times arrived this morning many thanks. halfway through the Time Travellers Wife, so when i can sort my brain out after that I will read hard Times. Thanks again Ann Glos

Hi Thanks to you all for the warm welcome :) Yes Maz, I was Joanne Brown (well, still am in real life :) ) but thought it sounded a little boring so decided to change my name for the new year, although in a few months it will seem a little old! I'll have to make a visit to the library to find one or more of the books to read. I'm looking forward to it! Thanks for pulling up old threads with reviews. Will have a read and see how you write them - plus it might give me ideas of other books to read :) Joanne

Helen and Joanne, welcome, the more the merrier. We normally have the top two books that are voted for but this time because maybe some people don't like dickens we have three. You can choose to read one, two or three of them. I will pull up the previous review thread so that youc an see how we review. Very basic, not clever reviews. (Unless is is Maz explaining to me what a book was all about). Ann glos

Hi Joanne and Helen Great to see you both, welcome aboard Hope you enjoy this months books Dee x

Hello, Can I join in too please? I have a very dusty copy of Hard Times on my bookcase and also The Time Traveller's Wife that I haven't read yet either :o) Helenxx (in France)

Hi Joanne - you are MORE THAN WELCOME !!! Yep, just read one or more of those top 3 books and then on 27th Ann or Dee or Mike will add a thread for reviews (doesn't have to be fancy, just look at my ones lol) and we all put what we thought of the one(s) we read. After that we all have a chance to suggest books for next month and vote on them, then start again. Nice to have you with us! Maz. XX ps did you have another name before or are you new??!!

Hi I've just found this thread about your book readers club and want to know if I can join you??? I think it's a great thing to do! If so, do I have to read one of the top 3 listed books before the due date of 27 Jan? Joanne

FINALLY got Linnet Bird, so can get on with that in a couple of days. Couldn't believe it, but my library has 2 copies of Hard Times - both out - and NO copy of My Cousin Rachel!! Ordered both, will have to see what I decide when they arrive! Ooooh poetry - yes I think he has avoided it long enough lol - something varied though like Nation's Favourite, or Poems on the Underground. Whaddya think Mike, prepared to give it a go??!!! Maz. XX

Hi Ann I will read time travellers wife for starters but second choice won't be Dickens!! Kaz ;o)

well done Kaz. Look forward to your review of whatever you choose (or all three). ann Glso

Hi all Sorry have been absent from the book club but have finally joined the library so hope to do review - and no job to get in the way this month Yaaay!! Happy new year to you all! Kaz :o))
