 Bloggy Book Club Update Part Deux!  -

Hi again,

Just a quick update for you all, we have a few more members @JoCopner @Robin_Kemp @AllAboutTheJovi

So Hi to you all, “Waves, like idiot “

And there has been lots of #bloggybookclub hash tag action on twitter.

The new and my fave trend is to twit pic your book where your reading it, we have had some rather stylish entries from @allaboutheboys and @sjspence010 and I’d love some more!

Also we have been discussing our dislike for Marina, is she evil or just a bit damaged? well, she certainly makes for an interesting character either way.

And just aquick re-cap for those wanting to join, we are currently reading Playing with the grownups by Sophie Dahl and we will be reading it till the end of this month. Then its onto @allaboutheboys choice of  Under the skin by Michel Faber. Come join us, the more the merrier! )

Okay well, that’s it for now, cant wait for you all to Finish ;D xxxxx

 Lovely Cara had a suggestion that it might be good to have a book list for the next couple of books so we all have chance to raid the book shop or library. I have asked the club’s first 2 members @allaboutheboys and @soriko to come up with their choices.

They both look like really fabby and totally different books and I really can’t wait!  That’s the surprisingly good thing about doing something like this, you get to read books you may never have tried.

I have decided to  nick name the club “the pick and mix” book club and there is to be no limits on what one you choose, just as long as it something your passionate about we’d all love to read it!

Blimey…. hope I’m not going on to much, really… I am just excited about it (can you tell? ;0))

Anyway this is the list -

This moths book is Sophie Dahl’s Playing with the grown ups see my review and get an idea what its about here  

We will meet up back here on the 30th (august) to “talk” about it. Whoop! Oh, and we can always tweet as we read too.

Next is Under the skin by Michel Faber. Recommended by @allaboutheboys, she  says “ Its a fantastic book ! Well I thought so xx” and you can find out a bit about it here . Looks like a brilliant  original read Karen, thank you. Can’t wait!

 After that we have The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. Recommended by @soriko, she  says “It’s quirky, fun and ingenious & like nothing I’d read before!”  it certainly looks like a fab ride of a read and will be a  great contrast to the Michel Faber one.

 Thank You both for coming up with such great, diverse choice’s on such short notice ladies!

I think that covers everything,  sorry for going on, if I did

I am looking forward to seeing you all back here on the 30th then. Whoop!

Oh P.s I am not getting paid by Amazon or owt just used their links to help you see a bit more about the books. They are also available at all good book shops and libraries ;D  

ORIGINAL POST:

After my last post it seems somehow we have ourselves a bloggy book club …Woohoo!

So far these are the fantastic folk involved :

• @LouliCrafts http://louliblog.wordpress.com/about/
• @Henrys_Mummy
• @allaboutheboys http://www.allabouttheboys.co.uk/
• @MuddlingAlong http://www.muddlingalongmummy.com/
• @stillmumof5 http://mumumumumum.blogspot.com/
• @CraftyRichela craftyrichela.blogspot.com
• @babynotincluded  ( babynotincluded.co.uk) 
• @soriko

Lovely to have you all

This is the concept….

Every 3 weeks,  one of us (in turn)  gets the chance to choose the book. I will email you in plenty of time to let you know its coming up to your turn.

For those of us who blog we can put up the new book prompt there, for those that don’t, you can have a cozy little guest post here. I was thinking we’d  have three weeks to read the book then one week to get the new one? Let me know if you think that is enough or to much time.

We can use the comments box of the guest host’s blog to talk about how fab (or not) a book was and generally enjoy a good read together.

I know I have been itching to get back into the reading habit. Since Milly was born, apart from the lovely Sophie Dahl book which is our first book club read, I think I have read Dora’s adventures in moon land (about 20 times) and Toddler taming guide for beginners (I have 3 kids and still not got the hang of it ;0) ) So I am ready to start flexing my brain cells again! (those which are left anyway!)

The first bloggy book club book is “playing with the grown-ups” by Sophie Dahl, you can read all about it here, its a really brilliant read! I will happily be reading it again with you.

I think its going to be great fun, I cant wait to see which books you all choose!

 If you would like to join ( Go on! You know you want too! *wink* )  just leave me a tweet or comment here.

Can’t wait to get started. Just make sure you tweet or comment me when you have your copy of the book and we can all get reading together !
