Hello,

Would anyone be interested in forming a new book swap group for those long winter nights? Let me know!

Hi everyone,

Sorry, for some reason my PMs don’t seem to have been getting through properly. If you haven’t had a message from me and are waiting for one, please shout.

@Justme1981 and @ShannonRockallMalin your addresses were in my PMs which failed to send properly. I have resent them so hopefully you will receive books shortly.

Sorry for the confusion everyone!

No worries Grin

Justme1981 · 05/02/2019 18:30

No problem Smile

clairethewitch70 · 12/02/2019 00:18

The is no thread for IFAHW book?

Justme1981 · 12/02/2019 06:22

Hi

No thread for TRST either, just received my second book - thank you 😄

ShannonRockallMalin · 12/02/2019 08:54

Still no second book for me Sad

clairethewitch70 · 12/02/2019 17:03

I haven't posted yet. @AwesomeBadger - I believe I have to send to a different address - can you confirm?

Hi

@clairethewitch70 did you not receive my previous PM? Are you talking about the book IFAHW or a different one to send on? There is no thread as that book belongs to the person who pulled out of the swap unfortunately.

@Justme1981 that was my book, sorry! I shall make the thread now

@ShannonRockallMalin Sorry to read that. The person sending to you hasn’t been on the thread for a while or responding to my PMs so again not quite sure what’s happening. I shall try to send them a message again and if not shall figure out what book it is meant to be and perhaps you could pick it up from the library.

No the book I have now is HFS, I sent on IFAHW to the address you gave me last time. The PM said this book needs to be sent to a different address. Thanks for all you do @AwesomeBadger

Hi @clairethewitch70, ah thank you that makes sense! I’m afraid you’re rather ahead of the curve, some people still haven’t received their second books yet.

I’d like to suggest if possible that no one sends on their second book until March so we can try to get back in sync - otherwise it’s going to be very confusing indeed. Hope that is ok with everyone?

clairethewitch70 · 12/02/2019 21:12

OK, I will hold this book back, yes it's my second.

ShannonRockallMalin · 13/02/2019 13:24

Thanks @AwesomeBadger, I actually work in a library so if I know what book it is I could probably get hold of it!

Hi @ShannonRockallMalin any book yet?!

OP posts:
ShannonRockallMalin · 18/02/2019 13:18

No, afraid not. Do you have any idea what the book title is?

falgelednl · 02/03/2019 20:23

Hello All,
I have enjoyed reading mys second book and am waiting to send it on. Now that it is March, shall I post it or are we waiting for a specific date so everyone is in sync?

clairethewitch70 · 04/03/2019 20:34

@AwesomeBadger - Are we due to post on?

falgelednl · 10/03/2019 22:08

Does anyone know what is happening? My book is parceled ready to post but I don't know if a date for posting was decided.
I haven't received a book either - which makes me think we are not posting yet.

It looks like AwesomeBadger has removed the messages she sent me originally -are you still around AwesomeBadger ?

clairethewitch70 · 11/03/2019 14:49

Mine is ready to go but I know I have to send to a different address this time, but don't know what it is? @AwesomeBadger

ShannonRockallMalin · 12/03/2019 11:05

I never got my second book so I have nothing to post on. Not sure what to do now Confused

ShannonRockallMalin · 19/03/2019 11:31

I’m thinking that perhaps this group has ground to a halt. If @AwesomeBadger isn’t able to coordinate any more, I’d be happy to try and get it going again, or else get everyone’s books back to their original owners.

clairethewitch70 · 19/03/2019 15:30

@ShannonRockallMalin - I was thinking the same thing. I don't mind helping. Feel free to PM me Smile

ShannonRockallMalin · 22/03/2019 18:15

I should hopefully have PM’d everyone who was taking part in this swap. If you haven’t received a PM from me, please let me know here. The gist of the message is that since we don’t seem to be able to contact AwesomeBadger, I have volunteered to try and get the swap going again. If you would still like to take part, please let me know:

If you currently have a book from the swap and if so the title
If this is your first or second book
Who you were due to send on to

Hopefully once I have this info from everyone I can try to fill in the gaps and get things moving. Thanks all.

ShannonRockallMalin · 30/03/2019 07:32

Hi all. Thanks to everyone who replied to my PMs. I seem to have some sort of circle but with several missing ‘links’, one of whom I presume is Awesome Badger.

I have not heard back from several posters who I PM’ed, and it is impossible for me to know whether or not they were taking part.

I think sadly the best thing is probably for us to try and reunite books with their original owners. If you could PM your address, I will check with the person I think has your book and ask them to send it back. Then we’ll need to work out what to do about those we can’t locate!

Thanks.

Justme1981 · 30/03/2019 08:55

@ShannonRockallMalin
