hi mamasaid

We'd love to have you - if you look on this thread
you'll see the December Book of the Month and how it works (I choose 3 books, everyone votes for the one they want to do, we announce the winner, everyone then reads it and comes online for one evening to discuss)

The discussion night for this months choice (Agent Zig Zag by Ben Macintire) is probably going to be 10th January, 8-10pm.

In teh Book of the Month toipic section you shoudl be able to click on all the past threads and get a feel for it too.

We don't usually do parenting books in the selection as its meant to be a kid-free, escapist sort of pleasure. But we're going to have a mumsnetter's reccomend month where everyone puts forward their favourite reads, so we can put it forward for that?

And thanks for recommending - always interesitng to know whats out there and whats good.

Hope you'll join us...

I tried to review this in the parenting section but MN hasn't used the review so I'm guessing it doesn't count as parenting. What about a reveiw section of books that are related to the whole shebang without being specifically parenting, cooking, and children't books? I just wrote about this (legs up and laughing)as i think it's an amazing and honest and really funny account of a woman's struggle with infertility and though I didn't have to go through that, so many of her fears and concerns are universal and resonated with me. and it's written in short journal style entries so easy to read when all you get toilet reading time. anyway, thought i'd mention it if anyone's interested. I think there is some book club but I'm not good enough at MN to know how it works or how to join it - maybe someone could tell me?

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
