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

Panic over, mine was delivered next door so I've got it now!

clairethewitch70 · 04/07/2018 20:52

@MyGastIsFlabbered - did I put the correct address on it? If not please PM me with the correct one.

MyGastIsFlabbered · 04/07/2018 21:00

No it was the correct address it was just given to next door because I wasn't in and apparently it wouldn't fit through my letter box.

Mine hasn't arrived yet!
😞😞😞😞

Keep hoping the postman is just super late.

@tobee don't panic :) I know your book is on its way, the person above you in the chain was on holiday last week. Hopefully should be with you very soon but obviously let me know if any problems.

Ooh yes thanks!

Finished my book today & am now looking forward to the next!

Slightly confused, I have just read book 9 and I posted book 1. Do we always post to the same person, so do I post book 9 onto the same person I sent book 1 to? I guess I thought since I posted 1, I would have started with 2, and ended with 9. Am I completely muddled?

I probably need to be patient and wait for the next instruction!

iloveredwine · 14/07/2018 21:13

finished mine too. do we post them to get to the other person by the 1st of the month?

Yep you always post to the same person :)

In the first month 1posts to 2, 2 posts to 3 etc. So 9 posts to 1 which is why you received 9, @chewbecca.

So please all post on the book you got this month to the next person in the chain by the end of the month (if you're going on holiday you might want to post a bit early).

Don't forget to find the relevant post for the one you've read this month and post what you thought of it.

Thanks Keith!

clairethewitch70 · 16/07/2018 16:43

I have finished my book (no.6). Are we swapping 1st of the month?

KeithLeMonde · 16/07/2018 17:10

Yep, there or thereabouts. I'd say aim for it to be delivered by 1st if you can :)

I have already received my next book! But I haven't finished my previous one yet (been busy this month) so I am trying to hold back opening it until then easier said than done

I should definitely be able to post it by the 1st though

Etihad · 22/07/2018 11:48

Sorry yaela that was me pretending to get organised before the chaos of summer holidays commences!!!!

Badtasteflump · 23/07/2018 11:04

I'm sending mine on today - I thought I would get it sent before school holiday brain-fog descends on me Grin

yaela123 · 24/07/2018 09:00

Etihad I am very impressed by your organisation! Thank you for the gift - it is really lovely. And the book looks very interesting too, looking forward to getting into this one.
