Right so I only have four addresses so far. These are from;
clairethewitch70
mailfuckoff
BigPinkOrchid
WhyIsARavenLikeAWritingDesk

Please let me know if you have sent me an address and your name is not here as it means it has gotten lost somewhere.

Ok so can everyone else that wants to join in please send me your addresses ASAP as I was hoping to organise it tomorrow evening and then Tuesday/Wednesday we do deliveries.

Things I need as well as address

  • Initials of book title and author
  • Any allergy or chocolate/treats preference

As I have mentioned in the last thread I will be setting up a monthly sign in thread that everyone needs to post in before the books get sent on. Don't worry, I will remind you if you forget.

I think the general consensus was that we would be having as little censorship as possible so you can send pretty much anything you want apart from abuse memoirs which can be very triggering/upsetting for some people.

A reminder of how it will work:

  • I collect all addresses and other info
  • I give everyone one person/address to send your own book to.
  • About 3 and 1/2 weeks later I will open up the sign in thread for you to respond to.
  • Couple of days later if all goes well and we haven't lost anyone we will send the book we received onto your allocated person/address.
  • If we lose people along the way then I will give you direction on where to send books to.
  • When sending books on we will also send a small amount of chocolate or other requested treat up to a value of £2.50
  • We can then set up threads for each book and discuss them.

Okay, sorry for the long post. I just wanted to collate all of the ideas into one. So let's get the addresses in and we can start the fun!

Thanks,
Jorly!

Yeah you send to same person each time. I've just got back home so haven't managed to pm everyone yet but let's just go for sending them anyway and see what happens. If you need a reminder of the address then pm me.

Also I apologise to everyone for lacking in enthusiasm recently around this. What with Christmas and everything going on I haven't had much time or interest in books. I get very obsessive about things and when I made this thread I was going through a book phase but for the past month I've been in a crap tv phase.

With the New Year and post holiday I'm now very excited for completing my book and sending/receiving another. When I am in this mood I can read books in a few days so my book will be sent on Wednesday or Thursday at latest.

I've seen this and will be posting to big pinkorchid tomorrow. Apologises now for the chocolate but it's never too early for Christmas 😀

Celama · 08/01/2018 23:40

Just seen the update, sorry. I'll get mine posted off in the next couple of days.

BigPinkOrchid · 09/01/2018 11:24

I'll be able to post mine on to Raven on Thursday.

Looking forward to receiving the next one. Thanks mail.

JorlyWood · 11/01/2018 16:57

@JorlyWood - I have received the book you posted to me. I cannot wait to read this one - whose book is it so I know who's to comment on?

@mailfuckoff - posted JorlyWoods book onto you yesterday.

JorlyWood · 13/01/2018 14:32

Hi I've posted mine to Oxcat today.

oxcat1 · 14/01/2018 11:32

Thanks User.

Daft question, but does anybody know if a standard-sized paperback can be posted with just a large letter stamp? It will be awkward to get to the post office for a few days and have these stamps, but don't know if a 350-ish page novel can be posted this way?

Thanks.

JorlyWood · 14/01/2018 12:18

I'm not sure, doubt it. Also don't forget the chocolate! :D

I've forgotten to post my book on, I hope I'm not too late

JorlyWood · 15/01/2018 14:54

That's ok, just post it as soon as possible!

@mailfuckoff

Have you received your book yet?

JorlyWood · 17/01/2018 21:14

Celama did you manage to send the book on? I haven't received it yet.

OP posts:
mailfuckoff · 18/01/2018 06:38

Hi I've got my book thanks

myusernameisnotmyusername · 19/01/2018 22:28

I haven't received my book yet.

myusernameisnotmyusername · 24/01/2018 15:58

Raven are you meant to be posting to me?

JorlyWood · 24/01/2018 16:32

I'm still waiting on my book too. :(

OP posts:
oxcat1 · 24/01/2018 18:18

I received User's last week (thank you) and also posted on to Celama last week. Hope that was right?

JorlyWood · 28/01/2018 16:57

Well this has fallen apart very quickly. Still not received my book.

OP posts:
BigPinkOrchid · 28/01/2018 18:49

Oh no. That's a shame. I've received and read Claire's book which was sent onto me by mailfuckoff. Hope things can be salvaged somehow...

JorlyWood · 30/01/2018 13:07

Nobody send on anymore books until I can get in touch with everyone please.

OP posts:
oxcat1 · 06/02/2018 21:11

Sorry. Been silent for a bit. I am still here! I have received, and sent on, two books so far....

clairethewitch70 · 13/02/2018 10:52

@JorlyWood
When do we send our book on to the next person?
