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.

Hi

I have sent emails to TeamEd and Saladbomb to check the books are on their way.

I have finished my March book so will be posting on soon.

Thanks for that Saladbomb/rocketleaf.

Lightshines - Saladbomb has also confirmed she has received her march book direct from TeamEd.

No probs rocket, I can't exactly claim the record for promptness this month...

TeamLemon · 10/03/2011 22:27

TeamLemon aka TeamEd here!

Sorry I have been so dreadful at posting on books and posting on here.
RL is very hectic at the moment!

I posted on TRF as requested, but don't have any other books here. I fear the Curse of the FurQuits may have stuck again...

Thanks for the update TeamEd/Lemon. I think Jas's book has already been a victim of the postal blackhole. Arrgh. I will check Moomin sent it on and otherwise see about sorting out another copy.

Posted today so should be with you early next week. Thanks being so understanding, tiggerday!

TeamLemon · 13/03/2011 13:52

Wheely, could you email me with the title & author of the book I'm supposed to have? Thank you!

HI All

Hmm. I think we have a problem Sad. I have traced the missing book problem back to Caykon who has is Missing In Action. Which means we are missing 4 books. Eek. These are the books missing -

Caykon - Lightshines's book
Moomin - Saladbomb's book
Team Ed - Tigger's book
Lightshines - Jas's book

I have emailed Caykon and not heard anyothing back - I know she was having some family problems a while back so hope all is ok.

Am not sure what the solution is. Will have a think.

TeamEd - I will email you as requested !

Wow, that's quite an effort for a single month! The slight good news I have is that mine arrived today so that particular black hole seems to have shrunk for now. Thanks Saladbomb.

Its cumulative rather than all gone in one month !! It hadn't come to light and I think they're all with Caykon unforetunately.

LightShinesInTheDarkness · 14/03/2011 21:24

i don't mind replacing either my choice which has gone missing, or getting another copy of the one I am meant to have this month and passing it on - if that helps?

Wheelybug · 14/03/2011 21:59

That would be great Lightshines - is it easiest (in terms of time) to get the one you should be reading ? I can email you the details.

I had a quick look and all (bar the one you should be reading Lightshines - sorry) are available on Amazon marketplace for 1p + postage of £2.80.

I'm happy to replace the latest one that has gone missing - I'll check with SImpson she sent it on.

Such a shame - we only have 2 month to go as well and it seemed to be going so well. But, these things happen.

LightShinesInTheDarkness · 15/03/2011 20:15

Hi Wheely - I know what the book is so will get a copy, read, add a comment then post it on!

Wheelybug · 17/03/2011 19:22

That;s great Lightshines. I'll see if any of the others are willing and able !

I have got myself into a muddle Blush and I seem to have 2 books with me atm Blush

I thought one of them was Caykon's next months book and one was my next months book I recieved early. Thanks cathcat for choccies Grin (so Caykon's the month after iyswim)

Maybe I have forgotten to post one on somewhere Blush

I have TWIB by SH
and Moomin's book.

Have finished them both so can post them on in the next couple of days...

simpson · 22/03/2011 22:53

let me know if you want me to post it on to someone else if caykon has lots on her plate atm Sad

Will send both books together as they are finished Smile

Wheelybug · 23/03/2011 15:57

You've got your March and April book there Simpson - WIB is your March book and Moomin's book your April one. I still haven't heard from Caykon so I think it'd be best to post on to Moomin (I'll send you her address). Which means Moomin will have missed Lightshines book. I know some are being replaced and I am happy to replace one of them so I need to look at it and work out who needs what going forward but we only have 2 books left to go Shock !

OP posts:
simpson · 23/03/2011 19:12

I didn't think I had forgotten to post a book on Grin Blush

Will hopefully try and post them on this week Smile

TeamLemon · 24/03/2011 11:41

Right, I have bought a copy of TVSoEL by MO'F.
Not sure whose book it was originally.

I've nearly finished it and will post on soon, but would you mind if it came back to me at the end? I lost a book last round, and I think my book this round has gone missing too. Don't really want to have paid out for three books and not have them back!

Wheelybug · 24/03/2011 13:40

Thanks TeamLemon - yes I think that's fine that it comes back to you, I suggested to Moomin you write in it something like 'whoever's choice it was book, please return to TeamLemon'. And we'll sort it out at the end with getting books back to people.

Its been a bit of a crappy swap with missing books - I think I replaced 2 early on and I think someone else has already replaced WIB and then with this happening...

But, we're almost there !

OP posts:
itsatiggerday · 25/03/2011 22:05

Hi, TVAoEL was mine and the original copy went missing the first month so no probs with this one going back to you TeamLemon.

I've got mine ready to send on for this month. Will do on Mon prob.

I have posted on my book today.

A little early but this is where the books are supposed to be in April for our penultimate read - given the kerfuffle I thought I'd post it early in the hope they get where they are meant to be.

Moomin - Simpson is posting you TeamEd's book which is strictly your May book (and the last one in the circle). I am going to get posted dfirect to you a copy of Lightshine's book. I'll do it today from Amazon marketplace so hopefully it will be with you by the beginning of April or near enough.

Wheely - Simpson's Book
Cath - Caykon's book
Simpson - Moomin's book
Moomin - Lightshines's book
Team Ed - Saladbomb's book
Lightshines - Tiggerday's book
Saladbomb - Jas's book
Tiigerday - Wheely's book
Jas - Cathcat's book

Let me know any problems !!

OP posts:
LightShinesInTheDarkness · 30/03/2011 22:49

Saladbomb - just wondered if you have a Kindle as I have a copy of your next book as a .pdf!

itsatiggerday · 31/03/2011 17:57

Sorry only got round to it this afternoon Jas, so don't panic that it hasn't arrived yet...
