Following on from the chat about blind dates with books, speak up here if you fancy doing a book swap.

Sorry MyGast. I've only just seen your message. I would have said to skip the chocolate if things are tight.

Just wanted to say thanks to you and Tobee, both books received so hopefully we should all be back on track for December :)

I'm still hoping to read more reviews! My book has had just 1 comment. I'm wondering if it is because it was too long or because people hated it which I don't mind but am very curious to know!

yaela123 · 20/11/2018 22:09

I've probably got myself a bit confused but I seem to have skipped Chewbecca's book - I think it is group 2 book 1? I think I have received in this order: 4, 3, A, 9, 8 (Is A replacing 2?)

Please ignore me if I have just got muddled up but I don't recognise the threads for either books 1 or 2 and I think I should have had these by now?

Etihad · 21/11/2018 11:39

Hi Yaela. I have just posted book 7 to you today (it doesn’t have a number in but I guessed from the threads) I have absolutley no idea how the numbers work!!!

But I do know about Book A, I added that one in when someone was very poorly and couldn’t send me any books for a while. So I sneaked an extra one in so the whole thing didn’t break.

Please double check the ingredients on your chocolate (it came with my asda delivery today and was a substitute)

Etihad · 21/11/2018 11:40

Could chewbecca’s book have gone to the person who needed to drop out??

I suspect that may well be what happened, Eti.

The numbers should go backwards, so that makes sense for you Yaela, as you are number 5, to have started with 4 then 3.

Becca 's book was number 1 in group 2 and may well have been the one that went missing and was replaced by A (thank you Etihad). Which would also explain the lack of reviews :(

Oh, that is a shame. I could've said what the book was so it could have been replaced with the same.
But thanks for clarifying, at least I now know and will stop being disappointed at the lack of reviews!

Chewbecca · 21/11/2018 14:45

Oh no, sorry, thinking it through, that would have meant someone would have had to go out & buy it. Probs not a good idea!

FreshEyre · 21/11/2018 17:00

I think mine went to the person who had to drop out. It was Group 2, Book 2 I think.

I was worried at first that my choice was so bad that the reader had just done a runner!

yaela123 · 21/11/2018 17:01

Ah that makes a bit more sense, although if 1 was replaced with A then still not sure what happened to 2?

Thank you Etihad, especially for your very prompt sending Smile (and chocolate!)

FreshEyre · 21/11/2018 23:39

I suspect that the person who dropped out has two of the books.

I have sent Book 2 which was my initial choice and then Book 1 which was Chewy's book after I finished it.

We then re-jigged it slightly.

Yes it would make sense if she dropped out with two books. We're one person fewer, and book A was added, which means books and people match again.

yaela123 · 23/11/2018 07:40

Ok that makes sense

Thank you everyone for making this work, especially Keith for the behind-the-scenes stuff.

clairethewitch70 · 23/11/2018 18:30

I have book A and am ready to send on. It is one of the best books I have ever read - thanks Etihad

FreshEyre · 26/11/2018 21:37

Thank you for my next book and the chocolate that came today.

I will post mine on Wednesday. I have had to admit defeat with this one, just couldn't get into it and haven't had a lot of time this month to keep going. I have downloaded it to my Kindle though and I'll have another go at it and post the review later. I'm a bit cross as I don't usually give up on books.

iloveredwine · 28/11/2018 10:14

Just posted my book and chocolate this morning

Badtasteflump · 28/11/2018 11:59

Posting mine today too - feeling smug that I've actually remembered to post ahead of the 1st!

yaela123 · 28/11/2018 16:24

I'm going to go post mine tonight - sorry the chocolate is a bit small, I only had a tiny bit of change on me Blush. I'll get something nicer next month!

clairethewitch70 · 29/11/2018 10:07

@KeithLeMonde - there can't be many more swaps left ?maybe 2? I was wondering if the two book clubs could swap over books and we could swap around again?

Etihad · 30/11/2018 17:17

Thanks so much for my books and the fantastic chocolate, they look brilliant

diamantegal · 30/11/2018 22:44

Posted mine today - from the work post tray which always worries me for some reason, so hoping it arrives okay!

Fizzywinegum · 03/12/2018 21:32

Posted mine today - sorry for the delay. Hope to receive my book soon.

clairethewitch70 · 04/12/2018 14:07

Received mine yesterday, and posted mine last saturday. Any ideas how many swaps are left?

iloveredwine · 04/12/2018 14:28

Got my book today 😁 xx
