    Amanda

    you know we will not mind if you are feeling rough :( just look after YOu eh? Enjoy your reading - what WOULD we do without it?

    I am reading JK Rowling's book for us grownups :)

    BUT I am sure l should be reading a book of the month :? :oops:

    5* Suzy - that bok must have been good - I like it when I care about characters

    Janet - I have heard of the labyrinth too - clearly it's good if you intend to read the other two books.

    love

    Thank you Toni for that sweet message, I just wanted to tell you now just incase I forget I PM Carole to remind her we had put her down for doing December's book of the month so could she let us know which book she had decided on? But sadly she hasn't come back to us with her choice. So if someone else would like to come forward incase Carole doesn't come back and volunteer to do December's book of the month we would appreciate it. :)

    Gosh Amanda - where is Carole??

    Take care of that flare yourself :wink:

    I would suggest the new JK Rowling, but it's ridicuoulsy expensive and in fact I bought it by mistake (kindle error!)

    I took a look at the new J K Rowling and your right wayyyyy to expensive for Book Club at the moment Toni, but we can do it as a book of the month when it comes down in price!

    I will leave the invitation open for the weekend and if no one else comes forward by Monday with a suggestion Lindalegs can do Book of the month for December, I think that's fair.

    Me too Amanda :)

    I pressed the wrong button on my kindle, but actually so far I am rather enjoying the book :lol:

    Haven't told husband how much it cost though :oops:

    Shatter by Micheal Robotham

    I enjoyed this book,it was different and I found I had to keep reading to get to the end. I did guess who the killer was though :lol:

    Its about a woman who jumps from the bridge, and why she did it. Is it murder? Her daughter thinks so, an interesting read. ****

    Hope book dwellers are reading Snow Child as I'm looking forward to putting up my review and will be interested to see what others think :D

    It's quite a responsibility choosing a book of the month as you know probably not all will share your taste but that makes the reviews more interesting to read.

    Hope someone else volunteers for the start of next year then we get a range of different books. :D:D

    Hi Legs, I am glad to see that you are reading the snow child. I know it sounds a strange story but I really got into it. I read it in the heatwave early this year and I bet it would be better in the winter! I hope you aren't hating it?

    I read Chocolat years ago and did enjoy it but never read another of hers. I will be order December's book from the library online today!

    Hi Guys! On the way to feeling better after everything! Thank you all for keeping The Book Club running along!

    Suzy your keeping us going the amount of books your reading at the moment! Shatter sounds a very interesting book! Gonna be adding it to my Kindle!

    Legs your choice of book of the month for December Blackberry Wine is another style of book I have never tried, sounds interesting! Look forward to reading it!

    I looked at shatter and have a nagging feeling I might have read it. It does look like a good read so I think I might order it and hope that I haven't read it before! This is why I started my book journal so that I could remember what I read! doh! :oops:

    I ordered blackberry wine so I might get it next week. Also ordered a couple off my shortlist to keep me going!

    I have been reading the Game of Thrones and am currently on book 5 and read it when I am waiting for my books to come to the library! If you saw the series on TV it was made very well (I read the books first and wasn't dissappointed) and the books are fairly easy to read, but quite a commitment! My OH is hooked now too!

    Glad to see you Amanada! As Bruce and Tess would say "keeeeep reeeeaaading""""!! :D

    Legs nagging???

    NEVER!! I do not believe you are capable of such a thing :shock:

    Frogmella - you know the best thing about the kindle is that it tells me when I have already bought a book :lol: :oops:

    Aha! Our library has changed its computer system recently - I just wish it had a record of the books I have borrowed. Although, since I got my journal last Feb I have used it for all books - except for Stephen King (read every one!!) and sequels. I do have all the Stephen Kings too except not bought 11.22.63 and Wind through the keyhole yet, but have read from library!

    You are a clever clogs Frogmella having a book journal so you know what books you have read!

    That is a good thing about Amazon it keeps all the things you have purchased in your account under history. That's why I love Amazon!!

    I agree Legs never moans! Just tells you as it is! That's why I love Legs!! :wink:

    Just a quicky while I'm buzzing on Monster!! I'm nearly half way through 50 Shades Darker and I can say I'm really enjoying! You hear more about Christian's past and there is more darkness and still the naughty stuff!! :wink: I will give you a proper review when I finish the book but so far so very good!! :)

    Totally enjoyed Monday! Got to Cinema early so decided to go and do alittle retail therapy, brought 2 furry snoods and my next door neighbour brought a hand bag and the same 2 furry snoods as me. I warned her before we did the shopping that if you go out shopping with me I seem to encourage people to spend money, know idea how it's phycological!!
    Loved the film, lots of twists and turns we didn't see coming! did get alittle choked up at the end but managed to not use the hankies I brought with me. Slept like a baby Monday night so the day did tire me out! Had a nice lie in Tuesday Morning! But back with a bounce this morning!!

    So how is everyone getting on with there books at the moment? I'm just half way through 50 Shades Darker So may still be reading it when I go on my Holiday!
