Hope everyone's found their book thread-- and that I've not left anyone out!

A quick reminder: you're always posting to the same person so:

DontDreamItBeIt send your book to MyBabysInTheGarden
PrettyMum send your book to DontDreamItBeIt
WheresTheHamster send your book to PrettyMum
DiscoverLife send your book to WheresTheHamster
EachPeachPearMum send your book to DiscoverLife
AndyRobo237 send your book to EachPeachPearMum
Blanki send your book to AndyRobo237
MegBussett send your book to Blanki
cynarasamba send your book to MegBussett
yogabird send your book to cynarasamba
mairseydotes send your book to yogabird
MyBabysInTheGarden send your book to mairseydotes

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.

EachPeachPearMum · 08/08/2008 21:23

yogabird · 08/08/2008 22:38

i am loving this monthly book fix too! And, on the whole, I have loved your choices! Especially the "short book" that yogabird passed on this month....i have recommended that to my friend's bookclub...

yogabird · 09/08/2008 21:05

wheresthehamster · 12/08/2008 10:50

Thanks EPPM. This looks like good holiday reading so I am going to save it for when I go away.

Glad you got it. Sorry I'm late checking in. I didn't finish it, but if you get into it MyBaby, you may as well keep it for and extra week or two if you need to as there is no book to come next month. (Unless I find something int he charity shop and put it back in to fill the gap, which I will happily do if that would be better)

Jas · 18/08/2008 21:15

I've had a little nose on the other threads, and it may be little consolation, but the Witty name club seems to be in a worse state than ours, and the other ones have had a could drop out and not post things on too.

This is my first month without a book, so I seem to have done very well out of it, and have definitely enjoyed getting a mix of books I wouldn't have looked twice at in other circumstances.

andyrobo237 · 18/08/2008 21:24

Jas - I agree - it is good to try other books than the usual ones - I tend to get ones passed on from my Mum or whatever appeals coverwise from the Library!

prettymum · 31/08/2008 09:15

wheresthehampster im moving address next week so will email you my new address to post to

wheresthehamster · 31/08/2008 11:33

I wondered what that was!!! I'll see if i can beat it!

Do you think we could keep going next year? I'm loving this!

andyrobo237 · 06/09/2008 20:59

I dont see why not - I am enjoying my readings!!

Jas · 06/09/2008 21:02

I'd be up for another year I'm sure we could find a few more to fill the gaps from those who've left/don't want to.

No book to post on here

MegBusset · 06/09/2008 21:03

Oops I meant to post mine last week and forgot . Sorry Andyrobo, will post it on Monday!

bookswapper · 07/09/2008 07:02

do you think mybaby's would be up for being Head Girl again?
she's done a great job!

cyanarasamba · 08/09/2008 20:46

Posted mine today. Do I get one this month I wonder? I seem to have done very well so far!

MegBusset · 09/09/2008 21:20

Posted mine yesterday, received my new one today

andyrobo237 · 10/09/2008 20:45

Meg - got the book today - it looks good - I am having a few weeks off sick next week (having a op on veins in leg) and will be able to read it pretty quickly!!

Jas · 12/09/2008 17:10

Prettymum - Did you have a book to post on this month? I haven't had anything yet, and I'm not sure if I should be getting one or not.

wheresthehamster · 12/09/2008 17:18

Hi prettymum. Can you let me know if you got the book last week? I've just realised that I sent it to your new address as soon as I received your email and you hadn't moved in at that point!

We can't have andyrobo's second book disappearing...

EPPM - is there no book for me this month?
