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. Blush

jj - If it's the one about the lady, you've commented on FB about reading, then I've just sent that to Missy?

jamaisjedors · 21/05/2011 14:39

That's it loler. Good to know. Did you enjoy it? I absolutely LOVED it, until the end, which as others said, was kind of rambling and disappointing.

mdavza · 27/05/2011 10:18

Muchwanted, sorry, I forgot to say that I've received and read the book. I'm on my way to the postoffice to post it on.

But PA, I think I need to bow out of the book club here. Things are seriously heating up regarding our move to America, and I don't want more things on my 'to do' list at the moment, so if it's ok, would you please from now on cut me out of the loop? I'll still keep an eye on the thread and FB as much as I can, but I am swamped with admin at the moment.

Bye!

PositiveAttitude · 28/05/2011 08:17

mdavza- I am sure I speak type for everyone on here to wish you well in your move and your new life! Smile
Thank you for being on board here. If you let me have your new address I will organise for your own book to be posted to your new address at the end of the year when we are all finished.

HC1 (sorry, I think you have name changed now.) i have facebooked about the posting on, but could you also please put a number 2 in the book that you are posting on this month so that we know which order to keep them in and hopefully we wont get too muddled, or it could cause problems as the year goes on.

Meanwhile, everyone ahead of (or behind - it depends which way you are looking) mdavza in the circuit should have a month of having 2 books to read.
If you find you cant read the 2 books in the month, please keep the circuit on target by posting the first one at the end of a month and the other when you are finished. If you post both on together please just make it clear which should be read first.
Hope that is clear to everyone. Confused

Got your message on facebook pa. Wishing you all the best mdavza. Will post the book on Tuesday. Hope everyone is good.

Hi All

Sorry I've lost track of who has changed names (I know that someone has) but just to let you know chickflick I surprised myself by really enjoying your book and Loler I've just finished it so I will post first thing on Tuesday so will be a couple of days late.

I'm really enjoying this book swap and I'm reading and enjoying loads of books that I wouldn't normally have read so thanks all.

chickflit · 30/05/2011 20:56

Best of luck with your move mdavza keep in touch with us. Maybe you could get a Kindle and stay in with the group that way - I've pretty much managed to find most of the books we've read this time round (by fair means or foul) in electronic format, so we could always email onto you and save the cost of postage.

I can't remember who I'm posting on to is it muchwanted HC1 in the olden days, anyhow DH has two books for you which he took back to the UK today. He won't get himself sorted to post tomorrow but hopefully he will remember to post on Wednesday and this time I will chivvy him along. They're both easy reads which is why I got through them so quickly. Read the one with the purple cover first.

And Loler he has a book from the last swap that he's sending on to you. I can't remember whose it was but happy reading.

Hope everyone is well and enjoying this round of books. Am I tempting fate by saying it seems to be going quite smoothly?

5ofus · 31/05/2011 22:42

I'm reading away but haven't finished yet! Read a long book in May that has pushed my reading schedule back a bit. I will finish and post by next Monday 6th if that's OK?

PositiveAttitude · 09/06/2011 07:10

Lovebeing.. have you posted yet?

Has everyone else sent and received so far this month?

OP posts:
chickflit · 09/06/2011 11:34

I sent at the end of last week/beginning of this week.

Did you receive the werewolf books I emailed you PA?

PositiveAttitude · 09/06/2011 22:25

Yes thanks, Chick. I haven't worked out how to format it all yet, but will get to it sometime soon. Thank you very much.

No book here still. Sad

All gone a bit quiet on here
Is anyone around?? ANyone sent yet?

I was organised and went to the post office to post my book on, only to discover it was left on my kitchen work top, so will try again on Tuesday, sorry JJ. Blush

jamaisjedors · 02/07/2011 16:16

Hi yes, I was thinking things were very quiet too - the thread has dropped off my ''i'm on" list - luckily just saw it in Active Convos!

I'm afraid I haven't managed to read this month's book but willl post it on anyway, will do it on Monday morning.

I will be a bit quiet because I'm going to the UK for a couple of days for work, then will be mad busy finishing things up at work before we go away camping in the Vendée. [fingers crossed for good weather!]

Have a good July everyone - will be back towards the end of the month - PA yours should arrive before I go camping on the 13th so will be fine. thanks

LoveBeingAbleToNamechange · 02/07/2011 16:18

Ditto jj.

Will be posting very early next week x

PositiveAttitude · 09/07/2011 14:51

Did you post when you said Lovebeing? as I have not received anything yet.

JJ - if you have not received yours yet, you should get it any day now, posted on Tuesday just gone.

RIGHT - come on ladies, where are you all? Has everyone else posted and received this month?

OP posts:
muchwanted · 09/07/2011 19:25

Hello everyone

Well depsite a two week holiday in Cornwall - I didn't have chance to pick up a book and have been very busy since we got back so I haven't read last month's book. I will be sending it on on Monday - Wednesday at the latest. I can feel PA looking over her glasses at me.

chickflit · 10/07/2011 14:13

I'm not posting this month as I was a super swot last month and posted two on at the same time. I think I am due to receive though.

Hope everyone is going on lovely holidays - I'm doing house renovations so sadly won't be going away.

jamaisjedors · 10/07/2011 14:38

Yes sorry chickflit, what with 2 work trips and people to stay I haven't posted on yet (Blush) but will without fail tomorrow because I'll be away again from Wednesday.

PA will let you know when I get the book - hopefully before my holiday - is it good?

PositiveAttitude · 10/07/2011 14:49

Fantastic book JJ. Best one, i think, loved, loved, loved it!!

Advance warning that I am away at the end of July, I was hoping to be able to post the book on to you before I go away, but I have not received yet, so I may run out of time. If I do, I will send as soon as I am back on 6th August.

OP posts:
jamaisjedors · 10/07/2011 17:05

6th of August will be absolutely fine, I will have lots of time for reading in August.

Looking forward to getting that one then.
