OK, here's the plan. I will send Calico's book to Piebald even though I really want to read it - I started it and it looks great. But I need a clean slate. If if makes it back to Calico perhaps I can borrow it again?

I will send MTU's Tome to dinky because she deserves to suffer.

IF I manage to locate that elusive Post Office.

Ok Musttidyup. Am still waiting for Swampy to lug your opus to the post office too (reckon she's having a rest along the way)... anyone else who hasnt posted yet, please fess up on here. If you've not received your book by early next week everyone PLEASE PM your sender to nag them. Cant have the first clun-go-round of the year fail...

Ok I'm shit and have not posted yet. Will try and get it done tomorrow. Seems like ages ago I read Rufus' book. It was fine. Nice easy read, the kind of thing I like and read often. Fine, but not really anything enough to provoke any kind of reaction iyswim. Just nice. And fine. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed it but maybe just a bit, as mnetters would say, meh.

thanks tilly have been putting off starting another book as looking forward to the next clun offering Smile

dinkystinky · 25/01/2012 11:15

Enjoy Tilly - I found it a rollicking good read Grin

tillyfernackerpants · 25/01/2012 10:33

Dinky, your book arrived today, and it is so my type of book, thank you Grin

Haribo, your book is on the way

dinkystinky · 24/01/2012 10:31

Tilly - new book in the post to you now. As fat controller of the clun and this is a plug the hole book I've decided to ignore the clun rules for the book - hope you enjoy.

dinkystinky · 24/01/2012 08:54

If anyone's posting bod is forgetful and they havent popped on to say they've posted by Friday, please can the postee PM them to remind them.

Glad you've located your book Acsec!

acsec · 23/01/2012 22:24

Oh Haribo, that could be my book! I hope so :) I'm aiming to get to post office Wednesday.

Calico1 · 23/01/2012 20:23

Dinky well done for working wonders with the clun re-jig! Looking forward to getting a book this month

Haribojoe · 23/01/2012 19:35

Posted book today (punching the air with glee that I've managed it).

Really enjoyed the book (can't remember who it's from) has got black and white cover with splash of colour IYSWIM. Was really easy to get into and I read it really quickly as was a real page turner.

Liked the fact that it was written from an unusual perspective (although if I'd been choosing the book that may have put me off) and must admit I did shed a few tears whilst reading it.

Looking forward to the next book Grin

dinkystinky · 23/01/2012 16:23

ITS SWAP WEEK THIS WEEK!

Hope you all manage to get over to a post office to post this week - remember to check up thread to see who you're posting to. And bobble on here on Wednesday 25th to report on your last read (gold star to Swampy for handing in her report early Wink)

Swampy, I agree! Once the family were dead I liked the book so much more!

musttidyupmusttidyup · 21/01/2012 18:54

Grin yay swampy! Lol, actual lol at your review. Grin

swampster · 21/01/2012 16:00

I finished it! To be fair to it, it improved immensely once the parasitic family members were all dead, especially the selfish-slut-of-a-sister. Though the sex scenes were quite excruciatingly painful. And this constitutes my review of MTU's book! Grin

dinkystinky · 21/01/2012 14:48

Yes but others on here have said they really enjoyed it - it's just with a house full of boys and a MN and kindle addiction to feed Swampy only gets 5 quiet minutes a day to read....

NO ONE will want to read my book. Swampy has cruelly given it a bad bad reputation.

dinkystinky · 20/01/2012 21:26

Nah - a nifty bit of clever folding and bunching (put those latent origami to work) should do the trick. It'll be a poppy which is in scale for Musttidyup's book Grin

I hope we dont have to CUT UP our MUMSNET SCARF? Angry
