Rubbish me, sorry! Have received my March book but have read it recently, so have posted it with my own March one today.

So, headintheclouds you will get 2 in the same packet, one for March and one for April.

Are we all still going? I had my March book early, so it feels like ages since I got my surprise book fix.

Ragwort · 07/04/2013 14:36

Yes, still going although I am not sure which book I am reading now Grin - nearly finished it and about to send it on to itsatiggerday.

Did anyone get my book as it seemed to disappear after a couple of months Sad - not particularly bothered about the book but just wanted to read peoples' comments. This happened to my book last year as well, perhaps I don't select very good books Grin.

I was the last one to comment on it!
I definitely posted it on, and am pretty sure it has gone to a few more people since then.

It is a bit of a mystery why there are so few comments about some of the books. I always say something, even if it is just to say I read it, but some people just don't.

I love to read the comments, and do feel a bit sad when there are none (or very few) this far in...

I agree with you Jas, it has been a bit disappointing that there aren't many comments or even discussions on some of the books. So many people were keen to join in the first place but seem to have drifted off a bit.

Thank you for setting it up, it has certainly introduced me to some new books and authors that I would never have tried. Smile.

Cersei · 07/04/2013 16:32

I've just sent your book on Ragwort, I will comment now!

Pascha · 08/04/2013 08:58

Been a bit busy this last 3 months but I am sending off my book today to RhinestoneCowgirl Off to comment now.

Blush sorry. I really do enjoy doing this. Its the only chance I find to read stuff not already on my bookshelf. I have two books here at the moment, ItsaTiggerDay's I started this week and Simpson's I recieved a few days ago.

Pascha · 08/04/2013 09:16

Ragwort's not Simpson's

Jas · 08/04/2013 13:46

Don't apologise Pascha. We all have lives as well, and yours is particularly busy at the moment. Smile

TBH every book circle I have been in has had the same problems to some extent. It is unusual that all (I think) of the books are still going round, and that the people who have dropped out have been able to let us know. I enjoy the variety of books, as well as the comment threads,some people just like to read and pass them on, but never comment.

Hello! Sorry, disappeared into wedding hell mania on behalf of inlaws and hadn't realised quite how much work it was going to be for me too...

Anyway, I'm back, they're on honeymoon and I can regain my life. But I have no idea whether I have a book to post and if so which one it should be. Does anyone know how many names I need to count on to figure out whose book I had for March? Then I can look for it...!

Cersei · 10/04/2013 17:08

My March book was the 9th one I'd had if that helps?

RhinestoneCowgirl · 11/04/2013 18:45

Just received lightshines book this morning (thanks Pascha Smile). I have already read it, but a good read from what I remember.

As I didn't have a book to post this month I might just pass this one on straight away.

Btw ragwort, I haven't had yrs in the swap yet but have read it before and absolutely loved it, if that helps? Grin

Ragwort · 12/04/2013 09:53

Thanks Rhinestone - yes, it's a great read isn't it? Smile

headintheclouds · 14/04/2013 22:39

itsatiggerday · 22/04/2013 12:53

Cersei · 21/05/2013 10:02
