Bumbleweed you are sweet, please go ahead and I will try to remember not to look

Well my parcel was.......Dd2s birthday present from America and some blueberry bushes so not as exciting trip as WB suggested!

kickassangel · 03/09/2006 21:18

welshborris, what books have you been reading lately, they seem to have given you a VERY active imagination. will we all end up like this when the books have finished their little dance?

bumbleweed · 03/09/2006 19:55

I just finished my book but I cant find a thread to review it!

Franny can I say what it is so someone can find the thread for me?

(she doesnt like it if I spoil the surprise of what is coming to her next)

A MASSIVE vibrator? Too big for the postman to deliver

When you get to the post office, because of increased security they make you open it in front of EVERYONE

The post office is packed, the queue is getting longer and longer as you struggle to get the wrapping off it

Then it slips out of your hands and bounces down the queue, past Doreen from no 43, past your uncle Sid, past your old schoolteacher, then lands at the feet at that gorgeous dad from the school gates

Thats strange, i thought it must be my books waiting at the PO, wonder what the parcel is?

WelshBoris · 01/09/2006 15:46

Empress Orchid thread

Ah, but some of us are getting double or even treble goodies. so much fun, not knowing how many books you'll get. then you can read the ones you fancy, and just post on the ones you don't.

did you know what a monster you were creating ucm, with your 'let's have a book swap' clever idea?

Blimey, in that case I will reiterate this. Anyone wanting to join who hasn't already. Nope!

i put empress orchid in as an extra, because i didn't get anything for 2 months, so i thought i'd better get things moving. it's therefore a new book, and i didn't review it either.

i have a feeling quite a few of us have put in extras, so possibly about 20 books doing the rounds.

nikkie · 31/08/2006 19:17

Posted mine today!

fullmoonfiend · 31/08/2006 17:16

peachy, I meant to write one as I enjoyed it, but didn't have time to. It was another case of 'not sure I'm going to like it...' but then read it and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was fascinating, educational, brutal and very evocative, I thought.

bumbleweed · 31/08/2006 15:41

I cant post yet coz still reading it - will post early next week

PeachyClairHasBadHair · 31/08/2006 10:37

Can't find a review thread for the Empress Orchid one.... anyone know if there is one please?

MarsLady · 31/08/2006 10:31

Will post my book today. I didn't get time to read it. Too much work came in. I'm going to stay as part of the book swap and read what I can, but I have an exam in October and a rather large essay to write before then. (Plus I just read Norwegian Wood for my bookgroup and it was fab!).

Did the last 2 books arrive Kipper? They were a lovely easy read.

PeachyClairHasBadHair · 31/08/2006 10:22

fmf I got two books thanks. Will review asap.

Will post on today- good job I checked LOL!
