    you could pass it on to me then! :)
    I will check into posting costs.
    I normally get mine from the library and to order them in from another branch only costs 50p

    I have just recently stopped working in a library where we regularly bought the top ten fiction books, so now I have to get my books in other ways, I always check out charity shops and I've even bought a couple of paper backs (the shame of it!), so will definitely have a look at that site, I have just finished a Jodi Picoult and just started the new Lesly Pearce, Stolen. I love a good read! I'm thinking of getting a one of those electrical readers (like Kindle on Amazon) for Christmas.

    Sara, We have that many books you would have to give me a clue as to what you like. I think we must have shares in Amazon by now . Lots of best sellers but they may not be up your street . Coben, Follet,Iggulden, and so many more. Perhaps you could start a wish list for members then we would all know what we are looking for .The Reader sounds brilliant , save that for me please. Best wishes Mama!

  17. Hi Mama,

    I love reading Maeve Binchy, Tom Sharpe (just thought I would mention that I interviewed Tom Sharpe for my dissertation!), Miss Read, LM Montgomery - Anne of Green Gables stories and Heather Webber. I like romantic and murder mystery, but as the two bookclubs I'm in have got me interested in new books, I'm happy to try something knew!

    I will reserve My sister's keeper and The Reader for you!

    Hi Lynne,
    Yes would be interested to see what you have!

    Best Wishes
