EM’s Book(ish) Club: Our July Book
Right, so. Thanks for all your input regarding our June book. It was really interesting (if somewhat hard work) to read a book I wouldn’t normally have picked, and to see what everyone else thought of it too. I note that we were all pretty much in the same ball park with our comments.
So, due to popular demand, our July book will be (cue fanfare): The Resurrectionist by James Bradley (sorry about the crap photo, it’s the only one I could find).
Purchased new from Amazon, this book comes in at £3.86, but P&P to Ireland adds a huge £4.98, bringing the total to £8.84 (although in the UK if you go mad and spend £15 you get free delivery – the evil monkeys, they know we will). The Book Depository comes in at a far more reasonable £5.89 including free worldwide delivery. Ebay are showing several, but all in the UK and again postage makes Amazon and The Book Depository look a better deal. However, the winner seems to be Play.com which advertise the book at £3.99 (€5.49!) with free delivery to many European countries (not US or Canada guys, sorry) including Ireland (AND the Vatican! Wow, I wonder if de Holy Father uses Play.com?). If anyone has any trouble, email me and I’ll order you a copy and send it on.
My favourite Amazon review is by someone called ‘TonyD’ who said, and I quote ‘this scared the pants off me’. It was also described by The Telegraph as a ‘classically claustrophobic gothic chiller’, so we certainly didn’t go at all girlie for July did we?!
Anyhoo, read it whilst hiding under the duvet, and we’ll report back at the end of the month for what we do best, a little conflab. Off ye go, then.

Does play.com take paypal? Only that I have £20 credit in there I want to use up!
Ma: Me too. Am clearing my bedside table in anticipation!! x
Nutty: Ah sorry – next month?? Not sure about the PayPal – guess you could buy it on Ebay though if you could find a bargain copy??
€5.55 in Eason.com – ker-ching!!
Bonkbuster? Love it!
Bugs: Here they do individual portions (heart shaped) and a new squeezy bottle – shall I send you a food parcel, cherub??
June: Ah well done – I knew you’d have a good suggestion x
I’ll go buy the book today …. I guess Razzle didn’t make the cut then ?
also, Jen, email me any info you want about Solar !
Ah, well, living in the land of decent cheese, I thoroughly recommend a nice wedge of Cashel Blue….or maybe some mature Wexford cheddar…drool…
June: Ohhh yes, Mrs M’s an expert. I’m planning on asking her about a wind farm for English Towers – no seriously, I really am…
I had a goos supply when Mum came over, need some more though, just finished the wonderful smoked cheese from Slovakia … send me more now !
also, have you worked on my blog yet, very impatient me !
Love ya xxxx
Get bloggin pal!!
THANKS EM…… Love you to bits xxxxxxxxx
Moon (very, very excited!!!!!) x
Ma: Aw me too. I thought I had it all sussed by subscribing to everyone’s feeds, but they don’t seem to update – I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong…(Thrifty???) BTW Up in Enniskillen Tesco they have GIANT bottles of Pinot for £5.99 (double size!!) x
Moon: Now, when you “Who’s wind?” and then follow that by saying “I had a good supply when Mum came over…” it really does make it sound as though Mum had a lot of “wind” while she was there. Now, I know that she might suffer from that affliction, just a bit, but you really don’t have to tell the whole world.
Jen: Oooh, I seriously fancy that ‘We Have Always Lived in the Castle’ another gothic scary one – might have to clear some of my cookbooks off the bedside table too though!! x
Baino: Yay! Well, we’ve got the whole month so hopefully we’ll manage to fit it in x
DBM: Is nothing sacred? Now we’re discussing Auntie A’s flatulence problem! (Does she read this? She’ll kill me for that!). Okay, Marmite and cheese emergency parcels then. I can cope with that x
Aidan: Me too. Trouble is, I tend to have three or four on the go at once and sometimes have to reread bits. It’s an afflication my oldest son has inherited – books by the loo, books left in the garden, books everywhere!
