New new book swap

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?

I was wondering if we could put the swap on hold until January? I'm half way through a non-swap book and the next swap book is quite big and December is so busy.

What do you all think? Next posting in January? We can't have many more books to read now I think.

JennyWreny · 28/11/2016 11:41

acsec that would definitely suit me. I'm two books behind Blush. Luckily they are both available at my local library so I can catch up over Christmas.

JennyWreny · 28/11/2016 11:48

Here's the original list.

Desperatelyseekingcaffeine
Iloveredwine
JennyWreny
Jobnockey
Greenyogagirl
FlysInDreams
Acsec
Mariqui

So 8 books. I've read 3 (iloveredwine, desperately, mariqui), got 2 to catch up on (acsec and flysindreams) and one in the post (presumably greenyogagirl) to me at the moment, plus my book, so I figure that there's only one book left after that (jobnockey).

FlysInDreams · 28/11/2016 11:48

I can wait until January, though it will be two books as I'm due to receive two shortly.

desperatelyseekingcaffeine · 28/11/2016 12:26

I'm confused! I haven't sent jennywrennys on yet (sorry!) but currently reading iloves book for this month. That means I'll have read all of them (2 in kindle form). Have I got out of synch somewhere? Who's reading mine atm?

acsec · 28/11/2016 12:27

I've currently got DesperatelySekkingCaffeine's book, so just Mariqui's left after that. Think GreenYogaGirls book got lost?

Glad we can all wait till January, that takes off some of the pressure! Xmas Grin

JennyWreny · 28/11/2016 12:54

FlysinDreams book is missing I think (or it was when I was due to get it). iloveredwine has sent me one (I should get it in the next couple of days) which I would have thought should be greenyogagirl's (or maybe it's jobnockey's)???

JennyWreny · 28/11/2016 13:18

Mystery solved. Book just arrived (thanks for choc iloveredwine) and it's Jobnockey's book. So I guess the missing ones are flysindreams and greenyogagirl. Can someone PM me the title/author for greenyogagirls book. Thanks.

desperatelyseekingcaffeine · 28/11/2016 13:36

So the next post will return books to the owners is that right?

JennyWreny · 28/11/2016 14:40

If you are just about to post my book to iloveredwine then then that would tie up. iloveredwine please don't bother to post mine back to me once you've read it. Are you able to give it to a library/charity shop?

acsec · 28/11/2016 21:14

I've not had Mariqui's book, thought that would be coming to me next month?
My book can also go to a charity shop when everyone's read it.

JennyWreny · 29/11/2016 07:25

Ah, yes, sorry. Looking at the list acsec the two books that were missing (greenyogagirl and flysindreams) you would have had at the beginning of the swap, before they went missing. In theory, I still have greenyogagirls book still to go, but because it's missing, I've skipped that.

Could someone PM me the title/author of greenyogagirl's book please.

JennyWreny · 29/11/2016 09:24

Thanks desperatelyseekingcaffeine and flysindreams for the PMs.

iloveredwine · 29/11/2016 16:42

My book can go to the charity shop too whoever has it last. Yes of course Jenny I will hand it into a charity shopSmile

desperatelyseekingcaffeine · 29/11/2016 21:13

Ok ilove - just finished it so was going to send both together but will charity shop it instead.

I would like mine back (though in no rush) please sorry to be a pain!

acsec · 30/11/2016 09:04

That's fine Desperately I'll send it back when I've read it.

Who has Mariqui's book?

FlysInDreams · 30/11/2016 10:52

Just received acsec's and Mariqui's this morning.

desperatelyseekingcaffeine · 05/12/2016 18:06

Sent today so sorry it's so late!

iloveredwine · 09/12/2016 20:46

Got book today thanks

jobnockey · 20/12/2016 13:02

Hi all, merry Christmas!!!

It's been very quiet here hasn't it? I take it we are having a Christmas break and get back to the book sharing in January?

I have to confess that I haven't even read my latest book - I just got the title and haven't got round to buying it from anywhere yet....

Wishing you all a lovely Christmas and hope you all get some nice books xxx

FlysInDreams · 13/01/2017 15:34

All wrapped up and ready to go, but I forgot to take it to the Post Office when I went out today. Tomorrow then...Grin

acsec · 14/01/2017 16:10

I haven't even started Desperatly's book! Sorry, I'm going to this week.

desperatelyseekingcaffeine · 14/01/2017 17:01

No worries acsec! It's the last one isn't it with everyone's books coming back to them (or charity shop?) I haven't got one left to read.

FlysInDreams · 14/01/2017 18:26

Ive just sent my penultimate book on, just one to read now, and that's acsec's.

iloveredwine · 16/01/2017 21:46

Is this it? I've taken the last book to the charity shopSmile
