What a perfect book group invitation...<br><br>Weirdly, it seems as though they are the same book - at least, Precious is even longer than Push - but it's hard to tell exactly. I guess they just changed the name when the film came out. Anyway, I'll buy the same copy as you had, i.e. <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Precious-Based-Novel-Push-Sapphire/dp/0099548720/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1350332794&sr=1-1">this one</a>.<br><br>Looking forward to it (I haven't read any more of Parade's End, need something with fewer words I don't know)!<br><br>

i just read it on holiday... not the best holiday book perhaps. partly because it was so short! looking forward to the meeting! if anyone wants to borrow my copy let me know.

Jenny

Donna

Hi Sophie, any chance I could borrow your copy? Could pop by any time on Sunday if that would suit? Not ure I will have time to read it but will give it a go!

Jenny

Yes Chang - men can come to book club.<br>You are very welcome to come and join us. <br>

Donna

Argh haven't read the book! Sorry guys. maybe next time. Would be up for discussing jk Rawlings new book if that is an option you like.

sophie

i'm so sorry donna i don't know how i missed your message! will let you know what we pick for the next one. jk rowling's new one is a bit of a whopper and isn't out in paperback yet but it can definitely go on the list! i'll be there tonight 7.30ish.

Jenny
