Hi Brenda Haven't sold on Amazon but they seem to have quite a good system. I have bought a lot of second hand books from them, especially ones for the courses I have been on. Dee x

£17.99 was from Amazon and it was second Hand, should be here tomorrow. Didnt think that I could sell it on, thats an idea brenda

Awwww shucks - thanks Mike:o) what would be great is the day l find a book l can't put down and want to read it like 'now'!!! jude sarf wales :~)

Jude, Thats the nicest thing I've read - that this could get you back reading. That was the whole point of my thread when I first mentioned it. I love reading mostly anything and everything -- happy reading everyone xx

Dee - l used to read alot and this club could get me back into the swing again. l read A child called it some years ago, don't mind reading it again. Did'nt read last night, was out boozin!!!:o) What a thoughtful son you have:o) jude sarf wales

Bugsbunny, That seems very dear - did you try the library or Amazon? I hope people don't fork out too much money on this book club? If there's anyone who would like to read the books I'll be more than happy to forward any I have to them.

Ann I think so, but then I am somewhat biased!!!! Dee xx

What a nice son you have Dee Ann Glos

My son saw me reading 'Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence' last night. This morning he has sent me a text message to say he's ordered the DVD for me. He knows I like David Bowie. Can't wait to get it. Dee

Hi Rosalyn Haven't caught any books yet, had a couple 'released' to me but it isn't quite the same. Would love to just find one 'in the wild' so to speak Dee Anyone who knows me knows I'm mad!! But if you don't know me and wonder why I'm looking for 'wild books' you can find out more about 'bookcrossing' on www.bookcrossing(.)com If you are looking for used books Amazon are often quite reasonable, and when you have finished reading them you can sell them on again.

Had to buy Happy Xmas Mr Lawrence off of EBay - £17.99. Hope its worth it. Too far for me to get to a library

I`ve read all Pelzer`s books too-first was best I think. Like you ,Dee I`ve got 2or 3 on the go at the one time. Have you caught any yet-bookcrossing. I put 2 in the surgery -childrens ones. Rosalyn

Hi Jude I do read quite a lot, usually have a fiction and non fiction on the go. When I mentioned that I had read the Pelzer books I should perhaps have said I read them some time ago. Got all three soon after they came out. Dee x

Hi Ann - nope nuffin:o)))))) jude sarf wales (now in the garden:o)))) honest!!!!

I read A child called it when it was serialised in one of the papers and also The Lost Boy which is written by his brother. i found both quite upsetting but well written. Informative to read but you couldn't call either of them enjoyable or relaxing. as I am away for two weeks (should have gone today but have to wait until tomorrow due to Freezer breakdown, I will probably read the sower and the seed but not the second one, I'll have to see when i get back on 14th May, it all depends if they have it at the library. (Did it cost you 70p to get it from another library Jude?) I have so many (2 shelves) of books waiting to be read already. Ann Glos

Gawd Dee - how many books do you read?? jude sarf wales:o)

Jude I'm hoping to start it tonight. Just finished The Binding Chair - Kathryn Harrison Dee

Started reading last night - gawd loads of long words in it and l've only read about 6 pages - had the dictionary with me!!! lol jude sarf wales:o)

Still waiting for my copy of the Seed and the Sower, only two copies in Worcestershire and none in Redditch. Have to wait for a letter, extra days. got my Dave Pelzer though, on offer in WH Smiths. Looking forward to this. Ros

Maz, It's ok lots of greadies don't want to read that book - me included- thats why we have an alternative. And before anyone says it -- yes as a book club we review all. But some for this website have to have respect for peoples feelings?
