thanks. J

Hi Ann I have seen it ;-))

Have seen it, Thanks Ann Kaz x

Isn't technology grand? Have just reserved the Witchfinders and Aldous Huxley online, from the library No charge for reserving them either ;-))

Hi Dee Have got mine reserved too said plenty of copies of Witchfinders! Kaz :o)

Got Brave New World from the library the other day and ordered Byzantium. Asda have had Witchfinders in for a few weeks, but now that I want it they don't have it left!

got Brave New World and ordered the other 2 - will see how many I can get through! Maz. XX

Hi All Sadly we have now lost Dee from Greaders as she has left the boards and doesn't have time to read the monthly selections. Can I ask if we think that it is viable to continue Greaders in its present form? If you want it to continue I will do it but do you think that 3 books a month is too many? Has anyone any suggestions? If we can get something sorted I will put another general thread up on the board. Incidentally I have not started either book yet so will have to get a move on. I only intend reading two this month. Ann Glos

hello Ann, I wondered about this! well, I would like to continue if at all possible - hopefully there will be more than just us 2!! I have already read Brave New World and written my review (I'm such a swot!). I sent Byzantium back to the library as it wasn't for me, but I am reading Witchfinders and finding it really interesting. Just the sort of thing that Dee would like funnily enough! lets wait and see if others are keen too - I really hope so!!! Maz. XX

Hi there, I'd like to join your readers group, but could you let me know how you work it? Do you have to read all three books by a specific date etc? I'll try to get hold of the books, I read at least one or two books a week, but usually from the charity shops. I'll see what I can get. Mags. x

hello Mags, nice to see someone interested! we are really flexible - you can read 1, 2 or 3 of the chosen books - we do it on a monthly cycle. if you search the board with the word 'greader' you will see our previous threads and get an idea of how it works. next reviews are to be added at the end of May - as short or long as you like, just tell us what you thought of the book(s) you read. I don't buy any of them - I order them through the library - the cost is usually around £1 per book. Maz. XX

Margaret do join us, we seriously need ne blood, we suggest the books we want then vote on them. Thanks Maz for explaining, Margaret it would be a good idea to read all the greader threads to see how we do it and the sort of books we have read. Sometimes I buy the book, sometimes get it from a charity shop or order from the library. Unfortunately in this area ordering from the library seems to tak a while which is frustrating. Ann Glos

Hi Ann I'd like to carry on if possible. I've only just started :-) I must admit I am finding getting through 3 books a bit of a task with all of the other things I like to do, but I know I don't have to read them all! Jeanette x

Hi Ann I would like to continue as well but can't find the time to read all 3 books but thats no problem Norah
