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.

Jas - I don't think you will get a book this month. This is the first time I have sent prettymum a book since June

Jas · 12/09/2008 17:37

Aah. Thanks wheres the hamster. I'd better get to the library then

EachPeachPearMum · 15/09/2008 16:07

Sorry wheres... I haven't posted yet
It is a quick read though!

wheresthehamster · 15/09/2008 21:41

Ooh, I didn't mean that to sound like I was hassling you!

I just didn't know if we had reached the end of the 'no books' period.

I'm not in any hurry, I'm halfway through 'I am Charlotte Simmons', which is huge, so I wouldn't be starting it for a week or so anyway

EachPeachPearMum · 15/09/2008 22:34

I didn't read it as if you were!Hopefully I'll get DH to post it tomorrow.

mybabysinthegarden · 16/09/2008 14:10

I'd be up for another round if people are interested-- I think (stray books aside) we're about 2 books from the end right now. Meanwhile as I'm on a book-free month this month I'm going to try and get TTOD out of the library and actually finish it!

EachPeachPearMum · 16/09/2008 14:31

Umm- I think there may be a few to go yet?
I haven't had the red tent lady one, or the 'spookyish road' one (dunno what these are, going off the threads)

EachPeachPearMum · 16/09/2008 21:20

wheresthehamster - it hasd been posted today, sorry about the delay!

Andyrobo- I haven't received anything this month.

andyrobo237 · 17/09/2008 10:39

Sorry EachPeachPearMum - it slipped my mind - I have been having a op to remove a vein on my leg and I meant to post it last week (late I know!). I will send DH out tomorrow to post it, as I am 3/4 of the way through it! Sorry!!!

Jas · 17/09/2008 10:47

We should run to December Then start a new thread for those of us that want to do it again, and I'm sure a few extras will fill up the missing spaces.

I got a book for my birthday that looks good (so tired this week I haven't actually started it) so if it is ok, I'll keep it for the next round.

cyanarasamba · 17/09/2008 10:52

Yes I would be up for a re-group in December. Am loving my book this month, thanks Yogabird. Not sure if this an original second chapter book or one you submitted to fill in a gap?

EachPeachPearMum · 17/09/2008 20:08

andyrobo- don't post it if you haven't finished! I have lots to read this month anyway! Hope you're feeling better soon though

Jas -can't believe this has been going almost a year already! It has flown by...

Jas · 17/09/2008 20:20

Will you be too busy with the new baby to redo it next year EPPM? I hardly read a thing when the dds were tiny.

EachPeachPearMum · 17/09/2008 21:35

erm- hadn't even considered that!

Well- I am giving up my other reading group in Jan, so 1 book per month should be manageable. I tried to read when bfing last time- sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't
At least I'll be able to get to the post office more easily when I'm not working!

bookswapper · 17/09/2008 23:16

well I am definately in for next year!

andyrobo237 · 18/09/2008 13:49

I'm in!! I have posted the book today EPPM (well my mum did it for me!)

wheresthehamster · 18/09/2008 16:21

Received book today, thanks EPPM.

I've received prettymum's, who I send to, so does that mean next month we will all have our own books back? Or just some of us? It seems to have finished too quickly to me!

I'm definitely in for another round, have read some great books!

EachPeachPearMum · 18/09/2008 17:27

Hope you're feeling better andyrobo!

I think something may have gone awry there!
I definitely haven't had a couple of things- WW1 book, spooky book (no idea what this is), red tent lady book.

Jas · 18/09/2008 19:49

I think the whole cycle has been compressed in places, due to missing books (and people). Did you post mine to Prettymum this month WTH? (Hardback book). If we are really done you should have...

andyrobo237 · 18/09/2008 20:04

EPPM - I havent had those three booke either! Maybe we need to re-group after christmas and start again - possibly ask for new members to make up the 12 or have a shorter series of books. It has been good though - read all sorts of stuff I wouldnt have looked twice at!

wheresthehamster · 18/09/2008 20:52

No Jas, I have received prettymum's this month. So when I pass it on, does that mean prettymum has had them all?

I haven't had the WW1 book or the spooky book but the red tent lady book is mine. Is your book one of the other two? How confusing!!

wheresthehamster · 18/09/2008 20:54

Sorry, misread your post Jas!

I have posted andyrobo's 2nd book to prettymum this month.

Jas · 18/09/2008 21:42

Aah, Prettymums book was the first one I had, but I haven't had andyrobos so they must have got a bit mixed up on their journies.
Mine isn't either of the other two. I'm pretty sure it disappeared in the summer some time.

prettymum · 23/09/2008 07:57

thanks wheresthehamster, i received my final book by the looks of things, i think 2 weeks back, havent had broadband for a week due moving.

this swaps seems to be ending very soon, we only started in january. but definately would like to be in the next swap.

mybabysinthegarden · 23/09/2008 15:08

So did andy's first book ever get sent? That may be the one that's with the MNer who dropped out.
