that's right emiliosmum, send the book you have just read to the person you sent your orifginal book to...

emiliosmum · 02/02/2008 10:08

I thought we just sent the book we got sent on to the next person so evenyually we will end up with our own book back?

Lulumama · 02/02/2008 09:58

so we send our finished book back to the sender and send our new book to the person we sent to last time yes? am still ploughing through mine ! but will read quicker

andyrobo237 · 02/02/2008 09:55

Panicpants - received it this morning - I will start reading it anyway as I have just finished another book! My great plan is that by reading books it will save me a fortune as I have a bad habit of buying trashy mags to read every week!

I wont post my book out until next weekend - I just finished it last night!

PanicPants · 01/02/2008 15:40

I've a bit of a confession to make

I've just posted my book today, as I was going to the postoffice anyway, and as I'd finished the book, I didn't want to have to go all the back to p.o. next week as well!

Sorry!

Andyrobo - can you just pretend it's not there when it arrives!!!!

MaeWest · 29/01/2008 20:02

Second week is fine with me... would give McDreamy time to catch up too

andyrobo237 · 29/01/2008 19:59

Have we decided whether we are posting 1st weekor 2nd week in Feb? Majority seems to be 2nd week....

McDreamy · 29/01/2008 10:27

Books have arrived!!!!! I plan to go to bed early every night until they are finished as I have 2!! Can I give myself another go as I would love to stay and post doesn't usually take that long - not sure what happened there!!

McDreamy · 29/01/2008 07:57

I'm gutted I'm going to have to pull out! I think I have read the Anita Shreve that RS and PP are talking about - great book you'll enjoy that one too.

Still no book I think I am going to have to retire from this book swap circle if this is going to happen everytime. i don't want to hold everyone up . I'm moving home in the summer so maybe I can join again next time around. Really sorry everyone

RubySlippers · 27/01/2008 21:07

ah yes - it is a real gut wrencher ...

i admit to a tear or two at that as well

PanicPants · 27/01/2008 21:00

Rubyslippers - I loved it too - but when she 'walked away' (don't want to give too much away for future readers )I couldn't believe it, and just sobbed, especailly as it was the right thing to do.

RubySlippers · 26/01/2008 11:56

PanicPants - glad you liked the book ... it is my fave anita shreeve -

Emiliosmum - finished the book and i LOVED it

absolutely brillliant, well written and unputdownable ...

1st/2nd week in Feb is fine with me - will go with the majority

andyrobo237 · 25/01/2008 20:10

Either week wil do me as well - half way through the book and really enjoying it!

andyrobo237 · 25/01/2008 20:10

emiliosmum · 24/01/2008 21:12

2nd week would be better for me but will do the first if that's the majority x

PanicPants · 24/01/2008 15:15

1st or 2nd week good for me too. I've just finished mine. I loved it and got totally drawn in. Sobbed like a baby near the end though .

Are we going to do little book reviews or just make comments as we go along?

Lulumama · 23/01/2008 18:41

first or second week good for me, will go with the majority !

am loving the book WWB!

spamm · 22/01/2008 22:47

Could we do 2nd week in Feb - sorry, but am away visiting parents in US in first week with ds and only back 2nd week - could not get to PO before 11/12 Feb

Sorry - is Spanielsmom here, am still wearing slimmed down name, as I am enjoying it. Should I adopt it for good?

wombling · 22/01/2008 21:47

For next posting date, what about first week of Feb?

McDreamy · 22/01/2008 16:27

didn't arrive!! We did get a large parcel of xmas presents though!!

lol about the hash! It'll turn up and I will just have to lock myself away and read it very fast. Really sorry to hold the group up, I didn't anticipate this problem

fullmoonfiend · 22/01/2008 16:24

I'm so sorry McDreamy, perhaps they thought the parcel was something dodgy - depsite the fact it had Books written all over the outside and my name and address etc.

Good job I removed the hash brownies at the last minute though, eh??
