This is a great idea, Jo! It's so much nicer to talk about books as you read with other people who are reading the same book.

Hi I`ve just finished "Her Fearful Symmetry" if anyone wants a gab about it?
DJ wrote: "Hi I`ve just finished "Her Fearful Symmetry" if anyone wants a gab about it?"I was going to pick this up on Tuesday. Once I finish it we can chat. Is this our Mike Gayle and Christmas reads chat going to take place? What are we reading first and when! I want to make sure I have the right book for our first read! Funsies!
Jo, you are in for the Three Day Rule during Christmas right?
Hi Jessica,looks like we are starting with MR COMMITMENT...HI Jo,yeah either 1st or 2nd week things get a bit frantic after that....Glad your upfor it.
BIG GRIN!!!Hopefully it will make us all festive!!!!I don`t think we are doing a MIKE GAYLE in December as he does not yet have a Festive one,just to keep you up to date!
No no it was just so you knew we hadn`t given up!Sorry I was a bit vague....
Oh.....we surely willit`s MIKE GAYLE...hoe could we not?Seriously it`s a question people!
OH! Here you all are! Okay, so Mike Gayle's, Mr. COmmitment for Nomvember and so on and Three Day Rule starts in December yes? YAY! WAIT! Where is Harriet???
I'm here :)For some reason I thought My Legendary Girlfriend was first... hmm, back to amazon! Must resist buying something else at the same time...
So are we not doing them chronologically anymore? I don't mind either way, I'm just a bit confused...
Harriet wrote: "So are we not doing them chronologically anymore? I don't mind either way, I'm just a bit confused..."I believe we are doing Mr. COmmitment first...I don't know what order we are doing now. Perhaps we should post here what order we are reading Gayle and also the dates of the other reads we have planned...such as The Three Day Rule (which is in December). What books do you have already Harriet?
Yeh that would be really useful, if we could have a big list of them all.Erm, The Three Day Rule I've ordered, so that should be here next week. And at home I've got Turning Thirty and My Legendary Girlfriend. I'm at uni at the moment, but I can pick them up when I go home this weekend. I'll order Mr Committment tonight. If I know what one we're doing after that then I can order that tonight as well.
Ok, per DJ this is the list of Gayle in order...since we are reading Mr. COmmitment first perhaps we can read something you have afterwards so you have a little time to wait for the ones you don't have. I know I don't have WIsh You Were Here, Brand New Friend and His N' Hers yet...but I have the rest...so perhaps we can read Legendary Girlfriend next? I know DJ is excited to read The To Do LIst last so let's keep that one there...actually, I don't think I have that one either...anyways, shall we pose this to the group and see if everyone agrees?WISH YOU WERE HERE
BRAND NEW FRIEND
HIS"N"HERS
MY LEGENDARY GIRLFRIEND
MR COMMITMENT
TURNING THIRTY
DINNER FOR TWO
LIFE AND SOUL OF THE PARTY
Non-Fiction
THE TO-DO LIST
So here is the blank list and let's fill in the blanks...DJ can you help us with this as you are more familiar with Gayle?
1. Mr. Commitment
2. My Legendary Girlfriend (?)
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9. The To Do List
And on the side in December: The Three Day Rule
Yeh that's fine by me. The only ones I have are My Legendary Girlfriend and Turning Thirty. And Mr Comittment is on it's way. So yeh, Mr Comittment first and then My Legendary Girlfriend second would be great, gives me to time to track the rest down. The order after that doesn't bother me.
The Three Day Rule arrived today. I'm a little bit too excited about it.

HI Girls,WISH YOU WERE HERE should be at the end my mistake but at least that meanswe will read holiday book in the summer....I am only going to read festive books over Christmas to get me into the spirit of the season!!
So does this mean that we will be doing the THE TO-DO LIST at the end?
The list I posted before is in order apart from WISH YOU WERE HERE which should be slotted in above LIFE AND SOUL OF THE PARTY
DJ wrote: "HI Girls,WISH YOU WERE HERE should be at the end my mistake but at least that meanswe will read holiday book in the summer....I am only going to read festive books over Christmas to get me into ..."
Ohhhh! Okay, that makes sense. I would like to read the Holiday books during the Holidays too so that's perfect. So then, aside from Mr. COmmitement being first this is the list we are going by?
WISH YOU WERE HERE
BRAND NEW FRIEND
HIS"N"HERS
MY LEGENDARY GIRLFRIEND

THE TO-DO LIST
Sorry, I'm confused!Are we doing them chronologically or in the order that's above?
Harriet wrote: "Sorry, I'm confused!Are we doing them chronologically or in the order that's above?"
I am just as confused as you are. Waiting on DJ to set us straight. ;) For now all I know is that Mr. COmmitement is first and the Christmas books are for December and The To Do List is last! Other then that it's the blind leading the blind. :\
Hi Girls sorry I`ve been off site will post actual list up here on Friday in exact order and months in case either of you want to change anything due toother commitments,many apologies DJ...MR COMMITMENT is on to start 1st November?
Thank you :) As I said in my email to you, DJ, I doubt I'll be ready to start on Sunday as the book hasn't arrived yet. But feel free to start without me and I'll jump in asap!
Hi Harriet I was posting while reading emails so its my bad...I'm happy tp wait until middle of month of that would help.There's only the three of us so it would be nice to read ot at same time,particularly as its the first one...Let me know what would suit you...
DJ
It all depends when I get the book through really. If I haven't got it by Saturday, then I won't get it until next Tuesday at the earliest, because I'm back home from Saturday-Tuesday and the book is being delivered to my uni address. So, I'll get back to you by Saturday if that's ok? If I do have it by then, then I should be ready by, sort of, middle of next week. If not, maybe by next weekend. I'll keep you updated, if you don't mind waiting... But I'm absolutely fine with it if you want to start discussing it without me :)
Hi Harriet,as I said I don't mind waiting particularly as it is the first one we are all reading together and its not like thos bloomin Postal Strike is your fault and I've other books I can read..Look forward to being in the loop.
DJ and Harriet, I have loads of books to catch up on so if we need to postpone Mr. COmmitment I have no problem with that! ;) I'm with you DJ, because there's only three of us I think it would be fun to start at the same time.
Thanks Jessica,was a bit worried in case you were annoyed at me but as you have said in the past we are usually on the same page.So shall we say we will all start to read on Sunday 15th?And I will email list to you both tomorrow.
Happy Reading.
Sorry about these Postal Strikes holding your book up Harriet hope you're not being held up for course books?
Mr Commitment came today! Yay! So I can blitz it this weekend and probably be ready by the beginning of next week if everyone else is. Or I'm happy to wait.Luckily I haven't ordered any course books for a while, so none have been held up... but I will have to soon, so hopefully it won't go on for too much longer...
Shall we say we will start the discussion on the 15th then?Glad the Post didn't hold it up to long for you Harriet...
15th sounds good to me :)Just started reading it, and I'm worried that my housemates are going to get worried about me... sitting quietly in my room, on my own, laughing out loud to myself... oops!
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying him.Possibly will be a good de-stresser from your studies.....
DJ wrote: "I'm glad to hear you're enjoying him.Possibly will be a good de-stresser from your studies....."
Yay! Can't wait to start it! I will probably begin it right on the first...just finishing up a couple of Halloween books...
Hope you enjoy them Jessica,Getting excited about starting...
