Hi Everyone, Next months book club is on Thursday 28th April at the usual time of 8.00pm [Irish time.] Would like to get some suggestions in now of what books/authors people would like to see being discussed this month. Would also be great if we could round up more of our nearly 100 members to join in the Book Club. Even if any of you dont get a chance to get the book and read it in time for the book club, you are always so very more than welcome to join in anyway! As I always say... the more the merrier!! ;D ;D So start suggesting gals...... Later, Lisa xxx

I've read it this too and I have to say I didn't really enjoy it - sorry! It was an ok read but nothing special and I did prefer Tina's earlier books I think. So I suppose we can have a good argument about it on the night then! ;D

STILL waiting for it to arrive from amazon. It's taking absolutely ages to get here, hope it hasn't gotten lost or something. Have to work early that day so won't be able to join in the chat but will catch up on everything later.

I hope to join in on the next book club. I haven't got the book but i'm going to Melbourne next week it'll be a jump in jump out visit but maybe i'll get the chance to find a book shop otherwise on the 26th i gotta go to newcastle to check in with my course teacher so might find the book there. That doesn't give me much time to read the book but i'll be home on my lonesome for the few days leading up to the 28th might be able to get an idea of the storyline.
just trying to figure out the ozy time for 8. i'm sure i saw a post on here somewhere for a good time site. **note to self - add that site to my favourites**

Here you are Abby, this gives the time right now most places in the world. times.clari.net.au/location.php3/Europe/DublinUK/Ireland are 9 hours behind us at the moment, so unfortunately 8pm there is 5am here. It's better in our summer, because it's 11 hours. I'll actually be in Scotland on the 28th, but I haven't read Wedded Blitz yet - still hopefully I'll be able to join in - taking my laptop.

Oh gee i almost forgot thats friday here. Goodness I'd be a right fool comming here at 5 on thursday twas only the other day i had it in my head that this week comming was going to be the 28th and for some crazy reason i thought it was a wednesday morn. Well if i'm not here you can safely presume i got the wrong day and time (or that i was lazy and didn't get up)

G'day Susan, At this stage no i haven't, I sent me sister looking for it last weekend and I haven't heard from her to find out if she found it. I'm going to visit her tommorrow so if she doesn't have it I'll have to try and squeeze a bit of shopping time into the trip. I've also got nedxt tuesday in to do a bit of shopping if i really can't find it while visiting my sis. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed

Oops, it's not published in Australia yet. No wonder I couldn't find it. Actually I couldn't find anything by Tina Reilly in any of the shops. Guess I'm not lookin in the right shops. I still plan in being here though.

Lets just say I'm glad that the kids are in bed I was pigging out on all the wrong food and it felt great well for a while anyway.

Here's a tip for the holiday. I know people that keep the old summer gear for the kids to play in on holiday and bring some good stuff for going out in. When the old stuff gets dirty they just throw it away! it cuts the wash loads but I must say I haven't tried it my self.
