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

I got mine, but haven't read it yet . I don't know why, whether it's the kids being back at school or what, but I've been really disconnected the last few weeks.

Sorry I know it's a lame excuse.

I will post comments for my last book and will start on this one tonight.

Then I'll send it over to dinny as usual.

Hope everyone is ok. Weren't there lots of expectant mums on this thread? If so, hope you're all doing well. I'm green with envy right now, thanks to a very late broody spell. Think I'll get a puppy instead!

Flossi - Luna has posted on the fess up thread saying she got FOUR this month, so you get a bumper load any day now

FlossCampi · 15/10/2008 15:03

I haven't received a book from this swap since the end of June

PsychoAxeMurdererMum · 15/10/2008 14:43

I'm sorry......I have been ignoring this thread.

not had a book this month as yet, but missing has been great nromally forwarding them

Flamesparrow · 15/10/2008 14:28

Have we all got a book this month??

squilly · 04/10/2008 08:59

Hi Flossi. I wasn't expecting the Thirteenth Tale back at all, so please don't worry...just pass it on to anyone else who might like it!

I haven't posted comments on the threads for a while . Will sort that as soon as I'm dressed (sitting here in dressing gown with 3 kids upstairs courtesy of the sleepover fairy). Didn't realise how quite having a pfb ofb was

FlossCampi · 03/10/2008 22:46

squilly: I'm so sorry - I still have your copy of The Thirteenth Tale.... I'm Man Booker reading at the moment, but nearly done (on the last of the shortlist, although it's over 600 pages...) but I can get to that next if you need it back? Really sorry for having held onto it for so long.

Flamebat · 03/10/2008 08:18

As you can probably tell Whispy... I didn't Will do it today

rosmerta · 23/09/2008 10:38

Reason I haven't posted on the book threads is because its hard to figure out whose book is whose!

Flossie, thanks for the offer but I've got plenty to read atm, I'll just wait for the next one

DrHorrible · 22/09/2008 22:33

No-one's posting on the book threads themselves either most seem to be me (in various names ) wittering on.

Whispy - should be posting the next one tomorrow

Cocodrillo · 20/09/2008 20:32

This thread's gone very quiet.

I'll be posting on to you this coming week, Squilly.

FlossCampi · 10/09/2008 11:26

rosmerta, afraid not - I haven't had any from lunavix since the DK you had last. Madhouse said she had 2 to post to luna at the end of Aug so maybe she hasn't read them yet..?

I could post you something at random if you're feeling short of reading material though :-)

rosmerta · 09/09/2008 16:13

Flossie, do I have a book this month?

whispywhisp · 09/09/2008 14:08

Madhouse...book going in the post to you tomorrow. Would've been sooner but not been well. Sorry. x

Flamesparrow · 02/09/2008 18:12

Whispy - book winging its way to you - still no idea who owns it though!!!

rosmerta · 31/08/2008 11:13

I think so, giving the author name isn't go to give away the book really. I'll have to try and remember mine now!

Flamesparrow · 31/08/2008 11:08

I can't remember who wrote mine that I sent - would it be easier if we started giving full author names? (I am more likely to recognise a full name than initials...)

rosmerta · 31/08/2008 10:50

ahh, now it makes sense! I still haven't found the owner of the DK book

Flamesparrow · 31/08/2008 10:47

Oh, not my book I sent, the one I just read - I want to post on the thread but have no idea who it came from originally

rosmerta · 31/08/2008 09:05

flame, I'm wondering if a couple of books will have gone missing with the people that dropped out?

Flamesparrow · 31/08/2008 02:10

anyone able to place my book?

squilly · 29/08/2008 17:49

No probs. I'm just catching up with my car boot purchases. I read last months early, so I sent it early too, so hopefully dinny will have had 2 last time, but won't get one this time, if that makes sense.

I've got Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace if you're desparate for a read, though, Dinny. Just let me know and I'll send it on.

Hope everyone is doing fine.

Cocodrillo · 28/08/2008 18:28

Thanks Rosmerta. I was mystified by the mystery package, until I checked the thread. How exciting!

I don't have a book to post on to you this month Squilly, but will post this one on as soon as I'm done.

Could this book I've just received be Missing's book? Author DK.

rosmerta · 26/08/2008 21:24

Flame, don't think I've had that one, or can't remember it if I had!

Coco, you're going to be so proud of me, I've posted your book today - 2 days early

BlueberryBeret · 26/08/2008 19:38

I'm lost with which book I just read!!!

Book initials are D T A, cover has a girl at a table...

(I am Flame btw)
