Spring 2018 - tequila mockingbird book group

Hi

I have received my book.

Posted to mailfuckoff yesterday (yes a Sunday), so I am not sure when it will get to you. Are we having threads to chat about the books?

I was thinking about it but no one really uses them last time. What do people want to do?

We need to have somewhere to discuss the books otherwise it is not really a book group, more a book loan/swap?

I'm with you, I'm happy to set them up if they get used?

Hi, missed to send mine on Saturday and don’t have this lovely Sunday/bank hol Monday post service (v jealous) but book and chocolate ready to send first thing tomorrow

I’m happy to discuss all of them on here (no spoilers) or individual ones, as there’s only 5 of us I’m happy going with the majority! I love seeing what other people thought of my book though

got my book and happily tucking into the choc! (Guinness chocolate - delicious!!) The galaxy was stolen by DH and the DD's, but it kept them quiet so all good things

Hope mine arrived ok - it was sent a couple of days ago but it didn't have far to travel

Oh I didn't write my name in mine.... :s it had some Galaxy Chocolate and Wholenut in - so that's mine if you get it

Hi I've got my book thanks, yummy sweets for the dc.

Thanks thegirlwholived. That was me. Chocolate and book much appreciated.

I posted mine today. Sorry it's late.

how has everyone got on with their books so far?

Enjoying my book, but it is a biggy, so it may take a long time to read.

Not started yet. Just finishing the one I was on. I'm really looking forward to it though.

Hi, also not started yet, but it's look like NG at me so will start soon. Can we aim to finish all books by the end of the month??

Mine just arrived today. Just finished a book last night, so it's perfect timing. Thanks to whoever it's from.

Sorry Claire, that big one is from me...I didn't think about the practicalities of a thick book, did I?!

That could've been mine orchid. I'm not sure of the username just the person's name. Did it have orange chocolate inside?

I'm starting today.

Yes it did myusername. Thanks, that and the Galaxy will be enjoyed at some point, but I'm currently doing Slimming World, so it's been put in a high cupboard for now...let's see how long it lasts...

Oh sorry! I'm also doing slimming world so have had to show restraint with my chocolate.

Haha I'm on Slimfast

How is everyone enjoying their books? Loving mine, and even though it is a big book, I am getting through it quickly as I don't want to put it down. Are we going to discuss the books?

I'm really enjoying mine too.

I've finished my book.

I have finished mine too. When are we sending on next? @Mailfuckoff

I'm done too so this weekend if everyone is ready?

I'm away until the 11th sorry!

If we're posting I will need to do it tomorrow.

OK, if you are done and able please post this weekend. @thegirlwholived please post when you can. Please let me know when you have posted so I know all the books have moved round. Let's see if we can make this work

I think I'm posting to @BigPinkOrchid ?

Did we set up anything to talk about the books?

The post office had closed just as I got there so DP is posting it on Monday.

Hi, your welcome to set up groups to talk about the books, I found before that no one used them though. My book will also be sent on Monday. Please send to last person.

I didn't really use it last time but the first book I didn't really enjoy and I finished the other one as it was ending so I was just wondering.

Hi my DP has just posted the book. He couldn't do it yesterday.

@mailfuckoff Sorry for the delay in posting to you. DH will post tomorrow (Friday). Its a whopper this book! (but very good). I think it is bigpinkorchids.

@clairethewitch70 Glad you enjoyed the book. Sorry again re the size, I really didn't think how silly that was! I've still not finished mine, and had a really hectic week and not managed to even pick it up. Will post on Monday for you, whether I'm finished or not! Sorry for the delay.

User yours arrived yesterday. Thanks!

@BigPinkOrchid I don't mind if it is a few days late. finish it first. Don't worry about the size of your book, it's not really that big!

@mailfuckoff Have you received your book?

@clairethewitch yes I did thanks

Hi, Have received mine - thanks! have finished mine now so will post tomorrow morning

@BigPinkOrchid have you received mine?

Sorry @BigPinkOrchid you told me ages ago you'd received it!

I haven't received anything.

My username, thegirlwholived is sending to you and she's just posted it so should be with you soon

@myusernameisnotmyusername Yes, got it. Finished the last one you sent yesterday (really enjoyed it, thank you). Have posted that on to @clairethewitch70 today (sorry for the delay, have sent 1st class!). Will crack on with the new one immediately so I can get it sent on in time.

All sent so should be with you ASAP! It’s a skinny one so quite a quick read- forgot to take it with me on hols 😳

Glad you enjoyed it @BigPinkOrchid. @TheGirlWhoLived thank you.

@BigPinkOrchid it's a fast paced read so shouldn't take you too long. I thought it was really good.

@BigPinkOrchid Book received thank you. This is my kind of book, I shall really enjoy this one. Going day camping Sunday, so shall probably get through most of it then.

@TheGirlWhoLived I've received the book. Thank you and thanks for the chocolate.

Just finished the latest book. Very enjoyable read, thanks to whoever contributed that one.

I think it was @TheGirlWhoLived If it's the one I just sent you. I enjoyed it too. Not started mine yet- finishing a book club book.

Hi, is everyone enjoying the sun?
Will people be ready to swap by this weekend, can you let me know and we can agree the next swap date
😎

I'm ready.

I don't know if I'll be ready but I'll try.

@clairethewitch70
@thegirlwholived
Hi ladies, are you ready to swap?

OK, everyone checked in, please can you send your book before next Friday. Thanks

I'm not sure it will be before next Friday but should be Saturday.

Have I missed the discussing-it thread(s)? I really enjoyed the one I sent if it is that one- was interesting!

I don't know what happened with them. I think as they weren't used last time no one set any up. I'm enjoying the last one you sent and really enjoyed the one before.

I think it'd be good to have a thread to chat about each book, even if just to say how much/little we enjoyed it. What if each of us starts a thread for the book we sent first? No title in the thread, so it doesn't spoil the fun of receiving a surprise book through the post?

Hi. I'm fine with that but I don't remember what book I sent

I've forgot the name but can remember the author.

Can you pm the author to me, that might remind me. Thanks

Sorry I meant the author of the one I sent?!

I am ready to post - shall I post today?

I'll be posting to you tomorrow Claire.

@BigPinkOrchid thanks.

@BigPinkOrchid - it arrived on the weekend, thanks. It does look really good.

@mailfuckoff - has your book arrived?

Yes, mine arrived yesterday thanks

myusername, did you send your book on yet? I haven't received it. (Not rushing you, just checking it's not been lost in the post.)

No sorry @BigPinkOrchid . I only finished it yesterday and will post it tomorrow as can't get to post office before then. Hope that's ok. It's a small book but a slow read for me.

Hello! Not sure who was meant to receive my book (I know their real name, but not the link to the username iyswim) unfortunately it was returned to me as "addressee not known at this address" The other two books got there fine though

not sure if i should just try to resend?

Not me. BigPinkOrchid sends to me and I send to mailfuckoff. Maybe it is myusername?

Yes @TheGirlWhoLived you're meant to be sending to me. I haven't moved house or anything so don't know what's happened?

Absolutely no idea! Unless the postie has got mixed up? Shall I try sending it again tomorrow to the original address (That I've sent the others too?) I've finished the next one too now so ill whack them both in together with a little note to say which is first if you like? Saves me postage!

I am going to PM you

Hi I'm posting the book on Monday. Hope that's ok.

Received book and lovely chocolate today user, thanks. Looking forward to reading this one.

That's good @BigPinkOrchid. No problem.

Are we going to be posting again soon @Mailfuckoff ?

Next week would be good, can everyone commit to posting by 3rd August?

I posted 2 to user last time so think we’re up to date?

Next week would be fine with me.

I only received the current book last Friday, so I haven't had time to get through it yet. Am mid-way through, but am away on holiday next week so won't be able to post before the 3rd, I'm afraid.

(I know holidays should be spent reading all day, but I'm a single parent to a very active 5 year old, so I don't rate my chances of getting any reading done at all whilst away!)

Thats OK, Pink, just send to me when you are ready. Enjoy your holiday.

Thanks Claire.

I haven't received them @TheGirlWhoLived

Really?! I can go back into the post office- luckily I kept proof of postage but don’t know where they’ve sent them!

No sorry! And I went to my local sorting office this morning and they didn't have anything for my address. I really don't know what's happened

What on earth?? I will pm you proof of posting if you like, will go back on Monday but suppose I will rebuy off world of books or something and send straight to your address?! So sorry if it’s something I’m doing my end- it would be quicker to drop them to you!

Oh no I feel really bad in case it's my postman. If you have proof of postage can you track it?

Not sure, I shall march in to the post office tomorrow. Possibly with a placard, this one had two books in! Plus two bars of green and blacks to make up for the delay again. I’ll let you know what they say tomorrow before rebuying

Thank you. I really don't blame you at all. I feel quite bad myself actually! Good luck tomorrow.

Royal Mail have tried to deliver a parcel today. I will have to collect it. Obviously I don't know what it is until I collect it so I'll let you know as it could be something else!

Haha ok, fingers crossed !!!

Hopefully- I have ordered a few things lately though and it could also be a magazine for dd but we shall see!

Guess what @TheGirlWhoLived! Your package has arrived! Thanks so much for the chocolate. Has a sneaky bite of the butterscotch one and it's lovely. Great books too- one of them I have already read which is quite good because then I can post it straight on- not sure what order they were in though.
