I've missed out on two now. I quite like the idea, anyone else?

Let us know with a YES when you receive a book.

psychomum, mehdismummy's gone away for a few days forgetting to post book, so yours will be a teeny bit late.

thanks MadHouse.

have you posted a book to rosmerta yet flossie? if not you could ignore my last post, wait and post one of the two that should be coming your way. i reminded Luna of your address on Friday night. that keeps all the original books in the circle.

Thanks MadHouse! This is all going to get a bit confusing for a while, isn't it...

TheMadHouse · 31/03/2008 10:00

Just to confirm I have posted a book each to Luna and Flossie

Flame · 31/03/2008 09:30

Ooh forgot to post my book - will get it sorted!

FlossieTCake · 30/03/2008 23:27

I can post on my original second choice - obviously now a bit later than the 28th, but better than waiting for me to read another one before I post.

Have to go to the Post Office to send a book from ReadItSwapIt tomorrow anyway.

If you've got something in mind then you could send it Rosemerta. I think we all need to send a book, any book if need be!, every month. Thanks Flossie.

Afraid I am still book-less at the moment (at least from the point of view of this swap!!) so it may be a little while before I am in a position to post on.

Should I pick something else to post to Rosmerta in the meantime just to keep things going or will that just confuse things even more?

Yes, it's time!

The aim is to post on the 28th-ish so that books arrive by the 1st of each month.

I'll post a list in the next couple of days so we can try and keep track of who's received books.

OP posts:
rosmerta · 28/03/2008 16:22

Are we meant to be posting our books on again? Am losing track sorry

swampster · 27/03/2008 16:28

Will do.

Yes, post to Missing. Missing may not be actually missing, but just lying low. Maybe she is reading/posting books but doesn't want to talk about it. If Mehdismummy doesn't receive her book this month we'll know that Missing is missing.

Does that actually make any sense?

I've got a get a wriggle on, as I'm still reading Flossie's book [book], despite my pontificating about deadlines etc etc.

OP posts:
swampster · 26/03/2008 22:35

So do I still post to Missing who is missing or not?

Original poster
CocoDeBearisCocoDeBear · 26/03/2008 20:02

Or just read the one you like the look of most! Or is that cheating...

OP posts:
FlossieTCake · 26/03/2008 19:54

Luna has posted on the "'fess up" thread in the Book Club topic too so I may have two to read...! Will be as fast as I can if so.

CocoDeBearisCocoDeBear · 26/03/2008 16:14

Mad House has been in DIRECT CONTACT .

Look like the books WILL be posted as promised today .

I've posted for Mad House on Good Housekeeping and asked her to post one book to Luna and one to you Flossie. That should work - for now - I think. At least it will mean you've got a book to read.

I'm at a bit of a loss.

For a now everyone who's read a book this month should write a bit about it on the appropriate thread under MN book swap groups, and then post it on to the next person in the line on the 28th.

OP posts:
swampster · 24/03/2008 23:11

Is Missing officially missing then?

FlossieTCake · 24/03/2008 21:56

Hello - no sign of a book here, I'm afraid so I guess that means themadhouse's (original) book is still with luna..? either that or lost in the post. Sorry.

Not sure I can speed-read another by the end of March! But happy to try if that makes things work out a bit easier... I can't quite get my head around how to fix the holes so am vvvv grateful to Coco for tring.

Bendi, no worries, stalkers are more than welcome on this thread as you can see . I've got your message, I'll be in touch very soon if there's a place (we're supposed to be posting on the 28th of each month).

OP posts:
Bendi · 22/03/2008 23:02

Not really, honestly, just debating another glass or bed - maybe 10 minutes on the doorstep with a cigarette will cool my jets, but then I'll just wonder what everyone is reading, grrrr.

CocoDeBearisCocoDeBear · 22/03/2008 22:57

I'm really enjoying it too. But cross as I think the other book circles are running more smmoothly! grrrrrrrrrrrr. You are good at stalking aren't you?
