Real Life Book Club (6 Viewers)

[Juno]

This is what Liadain says. I read it years ago but can only remember it being set in Venice. Will have to read it again, damnation.

You can borrow mine if you like. More :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart: for Venice!

Diddly. I have no clue as to where to start looking for my own copy. Helpfully, it has no cover on it either. *sigh*

 

[coraline]

This was fun. Thanks everyone who came.
Edel your cake was :heart::heart:.
Next one should be good, I got The Passion today, there were 5 or 6 more copies in Hodges Figgis. I've only read a few pages and I love it already.

So next one is on Wednesday 13th of September, Juno you should definitely come.
New people always welcome

My last ever Book Club. Sob!

 

[coraline]

My last ever Book Club. Sob!

Boo. We'll have to resurrect the online one.
Or set up a Skype connection and fedex you over the baked treats

My last ever Book Club. Sob!

This is a disaster. A) Nobody else appreciates my Heat readers' critiques and B) I'll have nobody to bicker with about snot-nosed NY punks

Just get a bobblehead doll with its left-hand cocked out to one side and a speechbubble that says: "Well, I think...[drone]".

It'll be almost exactly like the real thing.

Particularly if you give it lots of muffins.

And occasionally shake its bobblehead menacingly/delightedly at Edel.

It'll only work if I feed it sips of Kopparberg or Kiss cider

That reminds me. My mum is a nurse, she works with Alzheimers patients. There's this one sweet little old lady who has a teddy that she believes is her baby, she feeds it bits of dinner and milk etc, the poor teddy is all manky now and so now mum has to say that she'll feed the "baby" instead....

That's true. But tell it it's had enough when it starts to rhapsodise about your shoes.

1. how often do you bitches meet?
2. have you done valley of the dolls yet?

I feel I need a hobby in my life that doesn't involve booze or sweating it out in the gym.

Once a month. You should definitely come, particularly if you like pie and gossip and tangental conversations.

Oh. And books.

You should come, definitely
The next one is on the 13th of next month. The book is The Passion by Jeanette Winterson, and its fab.
Valley of the Dolls sounds fun...

You should definitely come and I'd love to read VOTDs; have never read it. BUT (and I hate to be the one to tell you this) alcohol is usually involved. 'Cherry Taste' Kiss cider to be specific.

Huzzah!

You'd better not bring the car next time.

I plan to go on a three-day Book-Club-Bender.

Yes. No cars
3 day bender = good idea, maybe we should have it on a Friday though so I dont have to crawl into school the next day.....

Have any of you girls read The Devil Wears Prada ? If not, read it now .|..|
Best trashy book I've read in ages, I couldnt put it down. Bitchy goodness at its best.

Okay, okay, no cars...should I make Cosmos instead of cake next time? Hmmm..
I've read The Devil Wears Prada and liked it until it got to the wussy American Hallmark ending. So fuckin' lame.

Spoiler

Meh meh meh, family and friends are much more important than fulfilling your dream of writing for the New Yorker.[SPOILER ENDS] Puhleese!
Have just started Tabloid Love by Bridget Harrison, which is shaping up to be a nice trashy read in a similar vein...


Oh, should modify my trash rating by saying I'm finished with Colm Toibin's new one and will bring along a copy for you on the 13th.

 

[BC]

should I make Cosmos

yes.

 

[Psychotic no 2]

yes.

Woohoo! Although they come with a warning. Last time I home-made Cosmos I was mentally incapacitated for about three days afterwards. They will at least numb the pain of Bellatrix's imminent departure.

 

[BC]

brilliant! i might make some white russians...
