Now we are 12 !

Here is a list of everyone in our swap group -

Wheelybug
Cathcat
Caykon
Simpson
MoominMymbleandMy
TeamEdward
Lightshinesinthedarkness
S aladbomb
Itsatiggerday
Jas
Bananagirl85
Disenchanted3

So, our aim is to have a first posting on 1st September. Then we will post on 1st of each month thereafter. If we can try and stick to this (obviously 1-2 days after is ok) then we won't get a backlog. Hopefully this will be helped by having shorter books this time !!

Also, even if its just a line of two saying you hated it, or didn't read it, please post a comment on the relevant thread.

So between now and say 7 August (as I am off for 2 weeks after that) can those who haven't send me the book they have chosen.

Any questions just shout.

Hope you enjoy it, Ed, and apologies for forgetting the chocolate - I'm out of practice!

LightShinesInTheDarkness · 01/09/2010 23:21

I have had a look at the abbreviations for the books - just can't help myself!!

Not managed to work any out yet though.

Anyone else just had to sneak a peek, or am I the only one Wink?

Did I miss an email or just jump the gun? Sorry Jas, it didn't even occur to me that chocolate would be a good accompaniment Blush Sad

Jas · 02/09/2010 12:54

No chocolate here, thanks tigger.Smile
Do I need to send chocolates, then?? There won't be any this time as the book will be delivered direct (as soon as I get round to ordering itBlushsorry)

Jas · 02/09/2010 13:03

Book ordered from Amazon, estimated delivery 9-13 September. Sorry for lateness.

LightShinesInTheDarkness · 02/09/2010 13:38

I didn't do chocolate either Blush

Wheelybug · 02/09/2010 14:37

OOh no don't worry everyone - Chocolate isn't required ! Ocassionally people put it in and I'd been meaning to do it all year for Cathcat and I thought as I was sending back ehr book from last time and sending a new one it was a good time !! She won't get it every month (sorry !!)

I've got my book safely, thank you.

But the name inside is Caykon (it's LWFC) and I thought Simpson would be posting to me! Confused

simpson · 04/09/2010 14:28

My book was waiting for me so will get stuck in tonight Grin

Wheelybug · 05/09/2010 06:58

Am just going to see who has received/not received. I haven't got a book yet so will send a general email out to everyone in case anyone else is missing too.

OP posts:
Jas · 06/09/2010 12:08

I am sorry for getting a bit ahead of myself, but I have finished and posted on this months book, so Bananagirl will get two about the same time.

Apols if this causes confusion, but I am slightly paraniod that I will give away/lose a book club book, so like to post early if I finish it.

simpson · 06/09/2010 12:51

Have posted my book today to caykon

My new book (Cathcat's) has also arrived safely Smile

Wheelybug · 06/09/2010 14:07

As far as I can tell its only Disenchanted who hasn't got a book (or that we know its not on the way). Bananagirl let us know when you're able to post if you can.

Fine to post on early - it gives the recipient even longer to read it (in other words - no excuses for missing the deadlin Wink).

OP posts:
caykon · 07/09/2010 14:00

my book arrived today thanks

simpson · 17/09/2010 21:45

Am suprised at myself but have actually managed to be organised for once Shock and have sent next months book on today Smile

Jas · 21/09/2010 11:03

Did Bananagirl reappear??

Wheelybug · 23/09/2010 13:36

HI All

Just to update things - it looks like we are down to 10 as both Bananagirl and Disenchanted seem to have disappeared. UNforeuntately this means 2 books ahve gone missing but I am the next one in the loop and have one of the books anyway so I'll send my copy on and I have just received a copy of Jas's book so I have to get my skates on and finish Seb Faulks so I can join in the discussion on the MN book group, read the book swap book by 1 Oct and read my RL book club book by 7 Oct. Eeek !!

It looks like things are moving ok in the rest of the chain.

I think I'll send an email round everyone at the start of each month to remind people to post on.

OP posts:
LightShinesInTheDarkness · 27/09/2010 19:03

Oh ffs - what is wrong with people.

Look forward to receiving Oct book - ready when you are, TeamEd!

itsatiggerday · 28/09/2010 08:15

Have just finished mine, so will post on tomorrow.

Being a bit thick and am a bit confused about how many books are still missing and what that means round the chain so will await to see what happens!
