I am a bad bad bookswap member. Bookswapper, I have just sent janeite's book to you very late (I blame the chicken pox, but it's really just me being disorganised) and I have eachpeach's which Jas sent me early. Hence:

prettymum -
Jas - No book
duffpancake (fkna Mybabyisinthegarden) - eachpeach's book; janeite's book in post
Bookswapper - NO BOOK
yogabird -
cyanarasamba -
MegBusset - DROPPED OUT
andyrobo237 - Prettymum's book
EachPeachPearMum -

I thought we were doing quite well so far. Everyone is posting and keeping in touch. Those who are/ have dropped out have let us know and not kept books. Can't ask more than that over an entire year I think.

I think we are doing well considering!

So we just need to find out about these ones:

wheresthehamster - NO BOOK but one one way to PRETTYMUM
prettymum - should have a book as posted by WHERESTHEHAMSTER
yogabird - was waiting for BOOSWSAPPER to post on 17 April - has she got it???
cyanarasamba - should have one to post to ANDIROBO
EachPeachPearMum - Should have one according to JANEITE
Flame - has one to post!!

I will try to locate some of these people on other threads to find out where we are up to!!

andirobo · 23/04/2009 13:17

Right I have CAT'ed all missing book people, except for cyanarasamb, but I searched for her posts, but think she is busy with some personal stuff at the moment.

Lets hope we can string some sort of re-joined circle together soon! I would recommend NO BOOK POSTING until we know which ones are where, as that would confuse my already muddled head!

Prettymum has two books, and Flame has three at the moment.

OP posts:
EachPeachPearMum · 23/04/2009 13:55

I have mybaysinthegarden's book, which I was going to send directly to Flame, as Janeite doesn't want to sully herself
I am only a couple of chapters in though... and I actually should have it an extra month as there is Janeite in the middle IYSWIM.
Flame got one early last month... as Janeite had already read it. (TA by AS- bookswappers maybe?)

Flamesparrow · 23/04/2009 13:56

I'm sorry - I really will post them on

prettymum · 23/04/2009 13:58

EPPM - If you only have that one, then I'd suggest keeping it and finishing it, as Flame wanted to drop out, so it should go straight to wheres the hamster when you are done.

Sorry prettymum, I pressed post too soon.

No problem with the delay. I know you wouldn't just disappear with them, and I always have something else to read

Flame - has three to post and is then dropping out until the baby is born (would like to rejoin then though if possible)!!

bookswapper · 23/04/2009 19:49

I have a book from Duff Pancake. It arrived today. (Its Janeite's book.)
And she sent me a book-appropriate gift to apologise for the delay!

Thank you very much for the gift DuffP - there was no need! I will be using it though as suggested (maybe a bit less oil though!).

andirobo · 23/04/2009 21:11

wheresthehamster - no book but posted one to PRETTYMUM
prettymum - posted TWO BOOKS to Jas
Jas - NO BOOK - but should have two soon!!
duffpancake (fkna Mybabyisinthegarden) - eachpeach's book
Bookswapper - Janeite's book
yogabird - Should have one from BOOKSWAPPER recently
cyanarasamba - should have one to post to ANDIROBO
MegBusset - DROPPED OUT
andyrobo237 - Prettymum's book
EachPeachPearMum - SHould have one according to JANEITE
Janeite - NO BOOK
Flame - DROPPED OUT but THREE to post

So it seems that one book is 'missing' but porbably is with cyanarasamba?? Does any of that make sense??!!

EachPeachPearMum · 23/04/2009 21:41

Okay- I will CAT wherethehamster... what happens about timings? The book I have wasn't due to be with wheres... until 1st July... and I may have finished it by then
(janeite 1st may, flame 1st june, wheres 1st july)

Original poster
Jas · 23/04/2009 21:54

I think we try and post a book as we finish regardless of timings, to try and spread them back out again, as it appears that wheresthehamster will have four books shortly!

OP posts:
yogabird · 23/04/2009 21:55

sorry girls, have been too busy to log on this week til now. Bookswapper, I have the latest from you thanks. Cynarasamba, hope that the last 2 reached you recently How did April go so fast, I haven't even opened the book I've just got yet - luckily have read it before but ages ago so would like to read it again - enjoyed it. One of his others was my favourite book for many years. Are we going to delay posting so that everyone can catch up, do you think?

Jas · 23/04/2009 21:56

Janeite will be the only one bookless though, as the other two dropping out seem to be balancing it out a bit.

OP posts:
wheresthehamster · 23/04/2009 22:46

I know Flame's got three but are they from other MN swap clubs? I've had a book every month so I'm only due to have one from Flame. I can't think what the other two can be!

Original poster
Jas · 24/04/2009 07:42

At least two of them are, as she also has the one Janeite should,ve had as she had read it/didn't want it and it went straight to Flame.

OP posts:
Flamesparrow · 24/04/2009 07:57

Yup, the three that I have - one Janeite had read so came straight to me with a load of stuff from EPPM, and of the other two I think she said one she had read/wasn't going to read so just sent the 2 together

cyanarasamba · 25/04/2009 21:05

Right I think I am sitting on three books and need to sort it out. I've been out of the loop as unfortunately I had a miscarriage which took a couple of weeks from starting to worry to it all being over .

I have:
Andyrobo book 2 - think I got this one first
Wheresthehamster and Jas's books - think I got these ones together more recently

What would be best - should I post them all to Anyrobo at once?

I have had a go at reading them all but found them all a bit challenging for the present! Have just discovered Jodi Picoult and am reading a lot of her at the moment.

andirobo · 25/04/2009 21:24

cyanarasamba - Sending sympathies about your miscarriage

I have just read Nineteen by Jodi Picoult which I really enjoyed! I don;t know about posting them all to me - I cant read that quick! Oh go one - post them all and I will see what I can do - I can always post one on to someone else who hasnt got one !

We could end up getting all out of sync.

Jas · 25/04/2009 22:48

Cyanarasamba. Sorry to hear about your miscarriage.

Andi - We are already out of sync!
The andyrbo book 2 is from the first circle. It replace yours which got lost (and then turned up again)

So sorry about your miscarriage Cyanarasamba
