Was wondering this morning when I needed to send book on Smile

Enjoyed Gails book, loved the fact that it is a true story.

Can't get to post office till Wednesday so will post book then, looking forward to the next surprise package Grin

Its Swap Week and review day Today

Hello all - suspect is going to be quiet on here today what with it being half term and all but its swap week this week so please all ping on your books to your person during the course of this week. I will be handing out stern stares to anyone who doesnt do so by the 1st of November.

And its the day to check in to say what you think about the book you had this time round. I got ESP's book - not my usual sort of thing as runs on themes that give me nightmares (something horrible happening to someone I care about) - and did infact give me nightmares half way through (but suspect that's because I was coming down with flu) - but was well written and easy to read and good to step outside of my comfort zone. Looking forward to the next one.

Good luck for your house move Piebald! Don't forget to let ESP know your new address!

piebald · 21/10/2011 17:10

Yeay it arrived today and i have already read it so i can catch up for monday. However i am supposed to be moving house on Tuesday so i think i will just wrap it and send it on to Dinky now

dinkystinky · 19/10/2011 16:17

ESP did say she'd posted it on 11th so should be with you or may - gasp - be lost in the post...

Come on peeps, we cannae let the clun cave at the second hurdles...

piebald · 19/10/2011 15:48

My books not here yet:(

kiwijesta · 18/10/2011 14:36

I got mine! It's something a bit different for me but I'm getting into it now, 100 pages down 400 to go! Will get reading instead of MNing!Smile

dinkystinky · 17/10/2011 21:43

Did everyone receive their books ok this swap?

Just a reminder that next Monday - 25 October - is when we "meet" to discuss the books we've read this time round and then send them on to the next one on the list during the course of next week.

Tilly - PM me your name (or what you'd prefer the parcel to say) if you'd like me to send the book to you in a way that doesnt cause blushes in front of the postie.

dinkystinky · 14/10/2011 09:46

Thanks Musttidyup Blush - have been malingering with flu so the flowers and wine have cheered me right up.

musttidyupmusttidyup · 12/10/2011 12:58

Thanks to dinkystinky for keeping us all in order (or trying too) although she may prefer a Wine

dinkystinky · 12/10/2011 10:30

Tilly - can you send the spare book to ESP (as Swampster never got one from JK so there's a hole in our clun)? ESP or Swampy can you PM Tilly ESP's address>?

tillyfernackerpants · 12/10/2011 09:45

So if ESP is back in, I no longer need to send a book to Piebald, is that right? Confused

AfternoonsandCoffeespoons · 12/10/2011 08:51

I do believe it is musttidyup! Its really good though, so you're forgiven. Grin

musttidyupmusttidyup · 11/10/2011 21:28

Oohh Afternoons is that my book? I should've put a warning with it. Grin

ElectricSoftParade · 11/10/2011 19:13

I AM VERY SORRY AND VERY, VERY SILLY! Huge apologies but have been to the PO today and book is on its way.

Sorry again, and will NOT let this happen again.

AfternoonsandCoffeespoons · 11/10/2011 19:10

Grin I thought I'd been kicked out!

Really enjoying this months book. Didn't think I would and was a bit put of by the size (its a biggen!) but can't put it down!

acsec · 11/10/2011 18:03

I have my book but not started it yet! I'm hoping to get it all read in 1/2 term.

dinkystinky · 11/10/2011 12:23

last week of October Swampy - dont worry, you've still got time!

swampster · 11/10/2011 11:45

dinkystinky · 08/10/2011 08:25

Bloody cut and paste - sorry Afternoons - you should be at the end of the list. Will redo and repost when back at work - can't do it properly on DH's iPad obviously!

dinkystinky · 07/10/2011 12:27

Right, ESP is also now missing in action.

Piebald can you PM Tilly your address and Tilly send a book to Piebald if that's ok.

Swap order now becomes:
swampster
piebald
dinkystinky
tillyfernackerpants
Haribojoe
RufusSewell
kiwijesta
clingingtosanity
calico1
musttidyupmusttidyup
acsec

If (as I hope) JK and ESP come back into the fold we can rejig the order again.

Anyone else missing in action?
