Having recently missed the chance to be a part of a new bookswap, I am just wondering if there is anyone else who would like to start up a new one with me?

Mariqui Flowers

Yes, I can send on the 13th.

acsec · 09/09/2016 17:04

Yes, happy to send on 13th, Desperately can you pm me your address, please?

FlysInDreams · 11/09/2016 22:20

Sent today, 2nd class, so should arrive mid-week.

jobnockey · 12/09/2016 15:04

Hi all

I have just posted mine 2nd class.

Sorry to hear about your troubles mariqui - let us know if you want to rejoin at any point and thanks for being the chief organiser!

acsec · 12/09/2016 17:25

Posted today, second class. Hoping the chocolate doesn't melt too much en route in this heat!

iloveredwine · 13/09/2016 18:57

Posted today so hopefully will arrive this week

JennyWreny · 14/09/2016 18:36

Hi everyone, I posted first class today, so hopefully you should get it soon jobnockey

Also worried about the chocolate melting!

acsec · 15/09/2016 17:10

My book and chocolate are languishing at the post office and will have to until Monday when I can collect as I'll finally be on maternity leave!

jobnockey · 16/09/2016 09:45

Mine was waiting for me when I got home last night so I started it on my way to work this morning... the chocolate got devoured last night (with a little help). You always send such a lovely parcel Jennywreny, my DS loved the wrapping paper! thanks!

JennyWreny · 16/09/2016 09:51

Ah! The wrapping paper! I remembered you mentioned your DS being disappointed about the parcel last time (as it wasn't his new schoolbag or similar) so I thought he might like the wrap. Glad he enjoyed it. Smile

desperatelyseekingcaffeine · 16/09/2016 13:58

Mine's arrived can't wait to get started! Hope you get some reading time in before baby arrives acsec :)

acsec · 16/09/2016 17:37

Thank you! Baby's due 5th Oct so should get some reading time. Can't wait to have the house to myself on Monday!

FlysInDreams · 17/09/2016 17:24

Redwine please could you pm me your book details so I can start on it? I've not got it yet. I think that's right, as I've just read JennyWreny's.

iloveredwine · 17/09/2016 18:50

FlysInDreams. Send you the details of my book. Not sure who has it. Enjoy!

acsec · 19/09/2016 17:41

Picked up my book today (and ate my chocolate buttons before I'd got home). I made a start on the book over lunch.

jobnockey · 20/09/2016 10:05

Hi all,

I’m just wondering what happens to the extra book now that mariqui has had to bow out? I currently have mariqui’s book and will obviously send it on as usual but just wondering if at some point will receive 2 books? My tiny mind can’t work it out?!?!

JennyWreny · 20/09/2016 12:03

I too wondered that and likewise I thought it seemed too much like a GCSE maths question for me to work it out! I think it might be desperatelyseekingcaffeine who has two books at the moment. It would be handy if they were both quite short and therefore we could read both of them in one month - I don't suppose that's the case . . . . .

desperatelyseekingcaffeine · 20/09/2016 12:40

Yes I should have 2 but haven't had post from mariqui as yet. Flysindreams one is your book I downloaded it on kindle and sent details to ilove. Not sure who's book the other is would have to check the list. I have jobnockeys book this month (which would have gone to mariqui) so whoever is in between. Jobnockeys book not v short obviously don't know about the other. Mariqui if you're reading this don't worry at all about not sending you've got loads on and we all have books to read!

acsec · 20/09/2016 16:18

I think it might be Greenyogagirl's book that Mariqui also has? If so it was quite a quick read imo.
Desperately - once you get into jobknockey's book it was also quite pacey I found.

desperatelyseekingcaffeine · 20/09/2016 17:27

Will someone pm me the details of greenyogagirls book and I can download on. Got thurs and friday with just the wee one at home so aiming to get some reading done then. :)

FlysInDreams · 22/09/2016 21:39

Have PM'd you.

FlysInDreams · 06/10/2016 20:17

Ive just had two books from GreenYogaGirl (one is ILoveRedWine's and the other is DesperatelySeekingCaffeine's). Unfortunately she's had to bow out of the book swap. JobNockey, please could you send straight to me next time, if I PM you my address? I assume that's November as I've been sent two books?

jobnockey · 07/10/2016 09:40

Hi that's fine Flysindreams - I can send straight to you.

I am slightly confused how it works now as there must be 2 of us with 2 books at a time? I'm sure we'll muddle through!

The one I'm about to send on is quite a short read but I'll hold fire until November and post it then if you want?

Hope everything is ok Greenyogagirl...

acsec · 07/10/2016 13:06

I've not finished my book (Jennywren's) yet. I've had a baby instead! Monday 3.07am. Not got much left. I'll try and get it finished asap, but cuddling my baby is my new favourite 😊

desperatelyseekingcaffeine · 07/10/2016 14:30

I suppose that's a decent excuse acsec! Congratulations! Shall we put on here whose books we have as I'm getting a little confused? Confused

I have jobnockeys book - have read greenyogagirls on kindle but not had the physical copy.
