You should use a period because the sentence is a statement. i.e. "I wonder what it will be like." "What will it be like, I wonder." is a straight-forward statement of your feelings.<br /><br />Leslie, the Canadian, eh<br />btw, I don't seem to have access to any of the profile options offered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-47475536704543792132015-04-26T15:05:22.885+01:002015-04-26T15:05:22.885+01:00ooooo a book club, that sounds exciting.

I couldn't do that, like Yaya above, maybe if I ever get to retire.<br />I don't have to think about the question mark, I can see your brother's comment! HA!

(Or, if they are like me, one of the books they are currently reading since I have about four on the go at any one time). <br />I think we will then choose to read the same book for the next meeting but those are the sorts of things to be decided at the meeting. I hadn't thought about the expense but presumably, yes, we'll each have to buy a copy.<br />Scriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-59768055810734703242015-04-26T05:38:28.492+01:002015-04-26T05:38:28.492+01:00Well done, GB - I should have realised you'd k...Well done, GB - I should have realised you'd know the answer.Scriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-32764108750896661312015-04-26T01:23:56.788+01:002015-04-26T01:23:56.788+01:00Enjoy your new book club!
