I think I wrote my name in mine....

FlossieTCake · 26/02/2008 23:15

I wrote my name and mobile in mine... Honest, rosmerta, it's not the sort of book you might imagine from the cover!

SlugsNSnails · 26/02/2008 21:35

Oi, I didn't want it at my house because I am anal and wanted to start it at the right time If it was here I would have read it.

Psychomum5 · 26/02/2008 14:11

well.....depends on the defination really.

for some things, super organised, for other I am a slattern, and for my books.....

I name them all to ensure they come back to me.....I am bad at remembering who I lend to is the problem, (and I lend lots), plus it helps my friends proove to me when I try to steal their books by mistake!!

It might be useful to put a post it or a note in with each book saying who sent it originally - that way we won't lose track of which book came from whoever when we're posting about the books afterwards.

Am posting mine today, as will be working the rest of the week and unable to get to a post office.

I'm all ready.......flame should have had the book when I finished 2wks ago, so that I wouldn;t forget, but she declined........she implied I read too fast.

good job she's a friends hey

rosmerta · 26/02/2008 13:25

FlossieTCake · 25/02/2008 22:30

I've finished my book!

And really enjoyed it! Yay!

Now planning to read A Thousand Splendid Suns by Kite Runner guy, Khaled Hosseini, should fill the time till we post on the 28th.

Any news from Lunavix?

OP posts:
Flamesparrow · 11/02/2008 18:19

Lol good point. Yeah, still go with 28th, tis easier. We get an extra day this Feb too

Has Luna got her book yet??

FlossieT · 11/02/2008 15:13

Ah - now I'm confused - I thought the 28th was a date picked to be reasonably sure of book arrival by the 1st of the following month? So do we still post on 28 Feb and start a bit later next month? (Guess that's fairer to lunavix).

Flamesparrow · 08/02/2008 20:32

On the 28th February we are sending out the book that we have received - Luna may be reading very fast

rosmerta · 08/02/2008 11:32

I'm confused now, are we sending out the books at the end of this month? Or do I need to finish it quickly, and send it out next week?

Sorry

Flamesparrow · 07/02/2008 23:01

Sounds good to me

FlossieT · 07/02/2008 22:33

So we need to read our February books extra fast

I'll get in touch with MadHouse, Lunavix.

The problem with sending out early is it might get confusing, and difficult to keep track of where we are.

Personally, I'd rather say let's all aim to send out on a given day each month, eg the 28th, with aim to start reading our new books by the 1st of each month.

lunavix · 07/02/2008 09:51

no not yet (sobs again)

FlameNFurter · 06/02/2008 21:59

Sooooooo - are we meant to be sending as soon as we have read, or waiting til the start of each month so we get the regular post iyswim?

mehdismummy · 06/02/2008 21:35

thanks missing. Struggling a bit with first tbh. But will persevere
