Any takers for another book swap circle thingummy?

squilly I think we will just post as normal over the summer. There are always delays anyway, so I think it's best to try and keep things moving.

flossie I think we ideally should have had six books each by now, but we're running about a month behind, so five sounds right to me.

psycho you had your books from missing now? She said she would post asap.

Rosmerta did you post a book to me? You said you'd finished one a while back. I haven't received it if you did! Hope it's not lost...

Dinny, I've finished my book quite quickly this time around. It was something I hadn't read before so I was itching to try it...

If you want me to send it early, just let me know and I'll post it on. If I don't hear from you, I'll leave it til we get the reminder at the end of the month...

Though, I'm a bit curious about how that will work with the school holidays? We're not away particularly, but if anyone else is, will it interfere with the normal posting regime?? Just a thought!

Right, I've finished my second mystery book. rosmerta, are you in need of material right now or shall I wait til the end of the month to post?

I've had five books altogether now (including the one I just finished) - is that the right number?

Have left a couple of stalking messages for MTA

Oh how does this work is it read any old book and pass it on or are you all organised and read same book and discuss?

hoping then that she has help on to them waiting to post

Missingtheaction is supposed to be posting to you, psycho. And you should have had five books, and be due your sixth...

Back in June missing said she had two books ready to post ... so

we need to find out from her where, if anywhere, they went...

I'll dig out her e-mail address when I'm home ... I'm at work.

good morning all....

I still have had no books for a while!!

I have altogether received four books since the beginning of this, and the last two came together from mehidsmummy before she left, so that would have been april.

I wonder if somehow they are being sent somewhere else by mistake, or if they are being sent to me, then they are getting lost en-route......

any ideas??

Squilly I've started a thread for you on the book swaps.

Flossie, it's 1000.

MadHouse, do e-mail me soon, I'd love to hear from you, and I've been thinking of you all. I hope the op goes smoothly.

Hang on, I'm getting all confused.

Mystery book I have just named is the one I'm reading now.

The mystery book I CATed Coco about was hardback, initials B I D. No people on the cover. If anyone recognises that one either then shout...

Don't we have to make a new thread at 500? Or is it 1000?

ME ME ME! PICK ME etc etc

And well said Flossie re chick-lit

The initials of my mystery book are:

A S R

Paperback, male author, cover image of woman sitting on large piece of driftwood on a beach.

If anyone recognises their book from that description can you let me know

I've put initials into my thread, and also into Lunavix's since I could still remember them...

I have my books - yippe

Congratulations you pregnant ones. I think we are a covern, although no more for me. I am having an operations to remove my ovaries and tubes in 2 weeks time. So even you witches can not do that - at least I dont think so (although techically I still will have womb)

Coco I am going to e-mail you.

Ooh a fine plan - will do that now

Pretty weak link here too - (a) over 40; (b) DS1 assisted conception (thought DS2 was a total fluke HAH!) (c) spent a couple of weeks feeling SICK SICK SICK and thinking that if I didn't know it was impossible unless immaculate, I'd think I was pg... but there was that ONE time back in the mists when I was awake long enough to... too much information.

I can't read my book, my brains are mush.

I don't think I have a thread, being the unlucky 13th. Do I have to start my own??

Flossie, i've no idea who put that book you CAted me about into the swap, whoever it was didn't tell me about it.

I'm excited, as its one I want to read though!

How about everyone goes to their book swap thread, and posts in it the initials of their book title - like some other book swaps did from the off (clever clogses)?

It won't hit everyone Flossie. Have no fear.

I'm the weakest link, statistically speaking as I'm (a) over 40; (b) unable to conceive naturally and (c) too f*cking tired to try again anyway!!!

So you won't be alone as the only person not geting pregnant.

Congratulations to all those who have though. I hope there'll be baby pics on your profiles as soon as humanly possible!!! That way I can live vicariously through you guys.

argh - not here as well!!!

I have lost exact count of the number of my immediate friends that have had/will have babies this year, but it is in resounding double figures.

Now the book swap.

It truly will be a miracle if I make it to 2009 un-pregnant.

Congratulations to you all!!

Tis knowledge like that that explains the teenage pregnancy rate

Or is that not how it works?

Watch it Flame, I'll touch you and give you the lurgy!

Congratulations all of you
