Thanks Shemp, Grandson is coming to see me end of August and bringing me another copy to watch

Thank you Susan. No takers for the Maureen Lee book then?

Good morning everyone.

Last night I was out with OH as we do a fortnightlly Quiz for the Brits who live nearby. As I was talking to some friends and acquaitances I mentioned this site and how interesting i had found it. I casualy mentioned that we could form a small group of people who were interested in reading and the meet once a month to discuss and exchange books...Well I was amazed at the response and we have decided to start this in September. * August is always hectic with visitors coming and going*

Thought you would all like to know what an influence you have made



Bridget

Morning all,
Ann have just googled the Maureen Lee book and l would love to read it, will PM you, thanks.
Bridget, thats good that people are going to exchange books, pleased that we've been of some use, lol.

Have answered you Mummo, Bridget good luck with your book group.

Mummo, posted it - 2nd class as it is a fairly thick paperback, you should get it Monday.

Thanks Ann, will let you know when it arrives.x

Jennifer Worth has 3 books out, that follow on from one another.
- the 3rd has just come out in hardback i think its out in paper back later - not sure and cant remember the title

They are based on her life training and becoming a midwife in the 1950's.
the first two in order are

Call the Midwife
Shadows of the workhouse

Brilliant reads and MUST get the 3rd.

Hi to all you readers out there.

Ann in Glous (who is on this thread), runs a readers group on here.
She calls it GReaders ..
All interested parties pick two books and write a little summary about them.
Then we all vote for two of the books put forward by other members (i.e. not our own).
We then have around six weeks to get and read the two books with the most votes. Then we do a review.
And it all starts again.
Ann is a lot more erudite and precise in explaing it all.

It does get us reading books we might not otherwise have read.

I will now be putting this book on my "must read" list.

Tess

You explained it very well Tess thank you. Just put Greaders reviews into search and there should be several books to read about.

Mummo Thank you so much...................... I couldn't put it down !!!

Really good read. Won't say too much so it doesn't spoil it for the others yet to read it.

Sue I will try to get to the post office tomorrow.

Regards Linda :o)

Glad you enjoyed it................mums the word, lol

Read your other thread about your fall !!! Hope you are OK. Please take care.................. you have enough probs without injuring yourself.

It was really good and I have had such a relaxing day reading.

Thanks again Linda :o) XxX

Linda, yes l fine just a bit bruised but a very bruised ego, lol.
I.m so glad you've had a relaxing day reading the book, often l have a reading day when l can't put a book down and just lay on the bed and relax while reading.

Hi all, Ann l received the book this morning, thankyou for sending it,will go to bed early tonight so l can have a good read, lol, when l finished it l will forward it to anyone who also wishes to read it.

Book posted to Sue this morning.

I'll have a look and see if I have other books I could pass on , when hubby goes back to work.

Linda :o) XxX

Can't believe I bought this book for my kids when they were relatively young.

I read it recently and was saddened at the ending. The kids seemed to take it on board as, at school, this is drilled into them. Sad, isn't it.

Thank you Linda for the book.
Just received it and started reading it straight away.
Thought that I had better come on Genes and let you know.
I will pass on to Ann at the end of the week as I have a
few hectic days and so no reading.

Glad you got it so quickly Sue.

Good service from the post office.................... praise where praise is due.

Linda :o) XxX
