Mailings are the first Monday of the month, so next posting date is 4th February.

How does everyone feel about posting early if you've finished the book? I'm up for it but I don't want to put pressure on anyone who's taking longer to read theirs.

I would love to join in, is this possible?

No problem bookswapper, now it's arrived, i see exactly why. It's Cyranasamba's epic and what a read it's shaping up to be I am loving it - absolutely loving it.
I am certainly up for next year and have done really well out of this - having had 10 books so far (although mine went missing some time ago).
Do you think we should have a vote for the best/most enjoyed book when it gets to December? It's a 2 horse race for me i think. Perhaps we need a list of all of the book titles and a time to vote?
So sorry that i have been so late with posting recently cyranasamba , will promise to do better if selected to participate next year

hi sorry for late response, had to send off my laptop for repair.

i received my book and another one, thankyou wheresthehamster. jas i think i probably have your book so this must be the final book??

i definately would like to join up for the next swap as ive had fun reading books i wouldn't normally pick up

I'll be surprised if it is mine, Prettymum, mine seems to have disappeared ages ago! (It was a hardback if that helps).

oops just saw wheresthehamsters message, i have andyrobos book, so i'll be posting that off to you jas once ive finished.

AndyRobo- got my book back today- thank you!

No problem!

It would be good to have a list of the books and vote for the best / favourite one - although I am sure I have missed out on a few!!

MAny many congratulations mybabys, hope you are getting chance to read while he sleeps! Good job you're not on cyranasamba's epic atm!

Oooh, that is 12 of us When can we start?

(And can we keep posting books from the original swap if they haven't been read yet, too, please. I've just had Andyrobos second book, which I'm guessing joined part way through to replace on eof the missing ones....)

Are there rules for what kind of books or anything?

Nope.
Just write your name (which is of course Flame) on inside cover so everyone knows which book we are talking about.

You need an adress for the person below you on the list to post to....or we could just rearrange the list to accomodate the fact that lots of us already have an adress for at least one other, already. Then we can start first Monday of next month.

Lol Aye, that would be me...

For future reference, if an unknown name comes and posts like they are part of this group... tis me

Right, let me get this straight. We are going to post on Monday 2nd November?

Need to sort out a book asap...

Someone make a decision about who we post to - new order or existing one?

Chocomaestro hasn't posted at all sine her last post on here....

She is the only non-known address. I reckon we rearrange existing list to fit with who we already know.

I'm off for a couple of days, but will do it at the w/e if no one else has done it/ made a different decision by then.

Ummm, well I don't know if Chocomaestro was a name changer.... but she has only had 5 posts on mn in total.

I agree, it's probably a good idea to re-arrange and stick to those whose addresses we know, if you don't mind wheresthehamster as I am not always particularly prompt at posting

If there are no further takers... I do know a mner who may be interested in joining- she loves reading!

Though- she is very fussy!

eek...on Monday????
I might struggle with that
(DS1's birthday that day)

Keep me posted and congratulations to Mybabys!

OK guys....lets assume we've lost chocomaestro and EPPMs friend has stepped in. I've rejigged the list so we are (mostly ) posting to the person we were posting to before. EPPMs friend needs Flames adress, and Flame needs wheres the hamsters. EPPM, can you sort that bit out, please, then we can all post as early next week as we can manage

Happy birthday bookswappers ds

Should we start a new thread to neaten things up a bit??

My book is on order (I can't bear to part with my copy, so have ordered another ), it should arrive mon/tues

New thread sounds good. EPPM had my address a while back, if she still does then just pass it on, I just need hamster's now

Flame- I can forward Hamsters, no problem.
