Any takers for another book swap circle thingummy?

I never got last months book

huge congrats for those with new little potential readers in their tummies

Squilly, I will post on to you at the weekend. Sorry it's a bit late.

Rosmerta, yes please, send one along if you've finished.

Are you Swampster? Congratulations, how funny! When are you due? And to you Dinny.

Oh, and Rosmerta!

Is it since we turned from a 12 into a coven of 13 I wonder? We're all very early on...

Four out of 12 (or is it 13 now?) does seem unfeasibly high! Congratulations rosmerta.

congratulations swampster, coco & dinny. I'm on the Dec thread! Maybe our book swap thread is like one of those supposed fertility spots

I'm late posting again - sorry, missing (still struggling to read it).

Incidentally, how many of us have had BFPs? Spotted dinny on the March 2009 thread, congratulations, and Coco on the February one, congratulations too (though you seem to have dropped off for the moment, which keeps happening when the wrong list gets cut and pasted). I'm on the Feb list but under a different name .

I haven't started my second book I'm afraid (have a library book to finish first that is due back imminently...), so it may be a little while - sorry! Will read as fast as I can. Late-night train again tomorrow which is usually a good bet for getting through things... and a weekend with practically nothing planned. bliss.

Coco, flossie is sending 2 books & I've already got & finished one, do you want it now or do you want both together?

I sent mine yesterday. Hopefully it'll arrive soon, but I can't remember if I sent it first or second as I was doing a pile of ebay parcels...

I obviously have not posted to Luna this month, as I had nothing to post. I guess that puts things right

Thanks Whispy

madhouse...two books went in post to you today. Sent first class so should get them tomorrow - Friday. x

I think flame figured it out for me, but it has 'bookseller' in the title (not sure if we are allowed to say the book titles as yet in case it spoils the surprise for others later IYGWIM!)

psychomum...what was the book called?

I finished the second book of the two that mehidsmummy managed to pass on before she 'left'.

I loved the second book I have to say, but not sure who it came from to go and reply on their thread!

I have had no book tho this time!!! has it been sent??

madhouse...TWO books going in the post to you tomorrow. x

thanks floosie, turned up today! Started reading it in the garden while ds transported sand from his sandpit to the grass!

Very good so far.

coco...I started The Outcast today. So far....brilliant.

Ended up sitting up late last night to finish one (couldsn't put it down, although a harrowing read) so have posted it to you today (2nd class cos I'm a cheapskate ). Hopefully should be with you early next week.

that's fine Flossie, I do have a large stack of books waiting to be read. I had a big clean up the other week & found about 5 brand new books I'd bought a few months ago and had forgotten about

too many brackets there - sorry. heatstroke maybe - sitting out in 34C heat and full sun for 3 hours yesterday to watch historic football (more like team wrestling with a balll vaguely involved somewhere)

Back from holiday to find two books from Luna! Thanks. If rosmerta doesn't mind I'd like to read before posting on - one of them has been on my want-to-read list for months (50 pages in already - although it is big print), the other I hadn't heard of but sounds good (exactly what I hoped for from this!). Coco (nice new name there), I'll probs have to CAT you again as to where to write comments though as I have no clue whose book is whose.

LibraryThing is FAB. I got an Early Reviewers copy of something from them in April too which was nice - although you are obliged to write a review of books received under the programme, which of course meant I had to read it twice as I wanted to do it "properly" (perfectionist? moi?). I love that site sooo much I even bought one of their barcode scanners.

Incidentally, if anyone is within striking distance of Cambridge, Galloway & Porter (remainders bookshop) are having a warehouse sale this Sat. Most things a pound, decent literary fiction from e.g. Faber, Bloomsbury, Canongate, as well as a chunk of chicklit and murder (usually stacks of Ian Rankin and Harlen Coben). I shall be there even though I have an obscene backlog so shout if you think I might spot something you'd like!

I've finished my book I will get it posted asap - would rather be early loved it! I think Psycho has one waiting for me from where she had 2 last time

yes, yes, that's the one. Is a library book, or I would lend.

I felt physically torn apart reading it. Sounds a bit melodramatic , but it's true!

I've seen it's a Richard and Judy summer read - to be honest I'm not sure I would want to read it on a sun lounger, as it's so emotionally traumatizing, but it's an excellent read, by a first-time novelist : you would never imagine it was a first novel.

Is The Outcast by Sadie Jones?
