Our "lovely" book swap is now closed again and off we go for 2011.

[PositiveAttitude]

Just setting us up.

Are you thinking of your books that you might be putting in? I will have a look and post mine within the next few days. - I will try harder than my awful one from last time, that none of you liked.

Received my book, thanks.

Good to see lots of you on here.

Hopefully your book will arrive soon, 5ofus, I think all these bank holidays have really delayed things.

Posted mine this morning to you Chickflit so think we are back on schedule despite the missing book!

BTW, thank you so much PA for the little extra ! Much appreciated.

JJ got your book this month and I must say 'well done' for having the samllest / thinnest book of the swaps!!!

Will make posting on nice and cheap! (Although, if I wasn't always blummin late doing it, I wouldn't have to fork out for first class )

Have started it, and so far very good.

Thank you Bobolbach - I learnt from the last swap that something thin is a good bet! Hope you enjoy it too.

Still no book here :(

I'm very worried about the lack of house work I've done today - house is stinky there's no clean uniform for tomorrow and dog is sat with her legs crossed - I blame muchwanted's book....think it might be a late night tonight too!

Yay - great to hear someone else has the same reading bug as me. I'm reading Ken Follett's - The Pillars of the Earth, about half way through and it's calling me now :)

Thanks JJ I received my book today.

5ofus Pillars of the Earth is a fabulous book and then before you know it you'll be drawn into the sequel Worlds Without End - I can't look at a cathedral or an old bridge now without thinking about how they were built. I think Ken Follett is a great author -actually Hammer of Eden was another one he wrote that I really enjoyed.

I already have Worlds Without End lined up ready to go :)

I failed to convince my family Worcester Cathedral was a good place to take the kids when we were in the area too.

Another Pillars of the Earth / World Without End fan here too.

Terrific books.

5ofus I would leave it a while before diving straight into World Without End. I read them about 6 months apart, but DP read them one after the other and found them a bit too similar. He thought that although the plots were different the same character types are in each book (strong female lead, typical bad guy etc etc) so found it a bit predictable.

I didn't think that - probably due to the gap I left between reading the books. Just a thought...

I'll have a look at Hammer of Eden - not read anything else of his. Thanks for the tip chickflit.

Hammer of Eden is a completely different genre Bobolbach it's a thriller, I found it really clever though.

I read World Without End straight after Pillars of the Earth with no break but I didn't find them too predictable. I preferred World Without End, but I think that's because I'd watched Pillars of the Earth on TV before reading the book. One of the things that fascinated me when reading the books was how people's surnames developed for some reason this really caught my imagination.

I've got some more Ken Follett on my Kindle that I'm looking forward to reading in the future.

Righto - I have so many on my TBR pile I can shuffle it back a bit :)

Book arrived yet 5ofus?

Hope you received the book mdavza.

Chickflit just checking if the book got posted on as I haven't received it yet.

I have just finished reading a brilliant book called The Crying Tree.

I'm really sorry muchwanted I thought DH had posted the book last week, just checked with him and it's still in his bag, he will post tomorrow.

No book here yet! :(

Mind you I'm still reading Pillars of the Earth and will be for quite some time!

Yay my book is here :)

Am sending off next month's book now (because I have finished it and am going to the post office). Hope that's ok chickflit?

Thanks chickflit received book today.

Missy10 - posted the next book this morning

Seems to be very quiet on here and on fb - where's everyone gone?

We are all busy reading !!

I am hoping that DH will get to the POst Office in the morning with mine JJ, if not I will send it off on Monday.

Wow you are super speedy PA - well done - I will look out for it.

Not so super spedy, I am afraid. I didnt get on with it and have given up!! (Sorry, whoever's it is)
I will do a review on FB later.

You, on the other hand JJ, have managed to do 2 this month, havent you?

HAve a good weekend everyone.

Well yes but they were very easy reads! Which book was it? There is one book I have already read which needs sending straight on to chickflit - I will look it up on facebook.

hope your weekend goes well too.
