JBF doesn't like Rose either!

Why don't you like me, Jingls when I am so fond of you? wink

Galen Sun 16-Nov-14 21:59:09

No! It's me calling her Rose or Eglantine she doesn't like!

'tender thing, slender thing, elegant ant and airy,
All the world loves thee, little Wild Rose!' smile

Crow has got a point. When you read the bookclub Q&A at the end of the month it's always the same Gransnetters who take part. You rarely see any of the 'invisible' members participating. hmm

Just so you know - we get hundreds of people (mostly names we recognise from the forums as it happens) applying for the free books so we draw the winners at random - which means everyone has the same odds of winning. Always worth doing for book club when we give away so many.

(But further to that - not everyone who wins a book posts (even though we do clearly stipulate that you should only apply for a copy if you have time to read it and take part in the chat grin) so that's a reason why you may see the same names coming up.

I am afraid I am one of the guilty ones as I don't often join in with the chat so I will really try to this time. My problems are that I don't read very quickly and also my book seems to arrive at least a week after some : I have just received the latest one 5 minutes ago. Would it be an idea that only those who posted should qualify for the next month's one ?
