book clun swap

3 books at once?! Oh my! I will endeavour to get through the 570 pages I have left of the book I'm currently reading, over the weekend so when I return I can make a start on one of them!

I have finally posted acsec sorry it's taken so long. I decided to get ahead of myself and send 3 books as I know I'll not get through them before next posting period. Ive forgotten how hectic life is now my mat. Leave has finished and I'm back at work a couple of days a week. Plus mumsnet takes up too much time . The one with Calico in us the plug book, one is HariboJoes which is next months book (I'm sorry I didn't read it it looks interesting but not my usual thing) and the one without a name is the one you should have for March. Just realised I should e PM'd this but it's Friday night, I'm a bit pissed and I can't be arsed.
Happy weekend clunners

Don't worry afternoons. Please don't make a special trip into town to post it, I am fairly quick reader so unless you are sending on an epic novel I should be okay!

Shall I send some of my heavy duty drugs in your direction acsec?

Well i read Acsecs book and enjoyed it . have posted on as well. Not sure if we are supposed to make up some intelligebt sounding claptrap here, but i finished it a couple of weeks ago and cant remember much-sorry

I'm shite too, musttidyup.

My book was all finished, wrapped and ready to send on time as I said before. BUT the bloody post office is having a refit thingy and will be shut for 3 weeks! So I can't post it until I can get into town at the weekend. Sorry bumble you also deserve better from a sendee.

As Honourary Fat Controller, I say don't worry about it! Send the one you've read and plug book to keep the books in the right order :)

Right. I'm shite. Acsec deserves better in a sendee.
I have three books at the mo:

• original clun book, not sure whose it is it's the one that refers to great expectations. I have read it. Not sure if I liked it /enjoyed it but I found if interesting iyswim.
• plug book from calico as she thought I wouldn't get a book from clinging but I did. It looks good but I've not read it yet mainly because I spend too long in mumsnet
• This month's book from the clun which looks a bit gruesome but I'd like to have a bash. So.. Shall I send 3? 2? 1? Fat controller? Decision please?

I've started on mine, it belongs to Piebald, and managed 47 pages in the bath. Bit of a full-on introduction (by someone else) though!

Made a start on the book last night, not as bad as I thought. Think it will actually be quite easy to get into

Dinky, I tried to make allowances but it beat me!

Good luck Haribo...

Book arrived this morning (has Dinky 2 written inside cover).
Won't lie took one look at it and my heart sank, not the sort of thing I would choose to read, but that's what book cluns are all about.
Wish me luck

That's a shame Tilly - I made quite a few allowances for the fact it was written by a non-Brit when reading it

Swampy? I mean Tilly

You're really selling it to me swampy

I enjoyed my book from afternoonsandcoffeespoons. It was an easy read and quite funny, had my lol at points! On its way to swampster now.

I had a stop-gap book from Dinky this month. I thought it would be right up my street, it looked very promising but unfortunately it started to irritate me a lot. It seemed to bring out my inner pedant, and thought it needed a stronger editor to pick up on some obvious mistakes (I doubt the Victorians had jelly on their toast!).

I think if it had been written a bit more carefully I would've really enjoyed it, it was a good idea and, as I said, would be something I'd pick up to read at the library. I just couldn't get past the errors

Haribo, its on its way to you

My book this month (second one ad first went AWOL) was something I'd read before but didn't mind returning to.

I enjoyed the book although the first bit is a bit dry once the main story gets going I think it's a really gripping read.

Thanks swampy have posted book on today and am looking forward to the next one

Fair enough Kiwi - well done for Mr Kiwi reading it though! I agree its a difficult book to get into (unlike the other 2 I've put into the clun) but definitely gets easier and better to read once you get past the first few chapters.

Nice reminding there acsec - you're a natural

Well it's confession time, I didn't finish (or even start) my book this month. dinky very nicely sent me a stop gap and I looked at it and tried but it just wasn't my genre . So, as I didn't want it to go to waste I got Mr Kiwi to read it! Resourceful huh? Anyway, he enjoyed it, and was quite annoyed to find that even though he'd not quite finished I'd taken it off to the post office, oops. [must do better next month emoticon]

I had Rufus' book this time. Have to say, wasn't my favourite - didn't really care about any of the characters, the protagonist imo was a wet weekend. The story was slow and predictable, denfinitely not my type of book.

I'm hoping the next book I get won't be another blimmin' love story!

No rush calico I'm still reading one of the two I got last month. Sorry I've had a heluva week and had no chance to post. Will do so after the weekend.

Musttidyup - I'll post to you tomorrow (or maybe Sat). Just finished Haribo's book - not my usual thing at all but I did enjoy it. Strangely gothic and surreal with plenty of bizarre episodes but a good read nonetheless.
NB: Don't read in the bath though as the dark green comes off the page edges when your hands are a bit damp (sorry Haribo)!

Nice - clearly all the very best houses are beset by furry little buggers...
