Oooh thanks for my parcel, have just got back from holiday and collected it from the PO this morning. Have just read the MN reviews of these books and it looks like a mixture on each! Can't wait to get started!

I will read Mybaby's first then send straight away to prettymum (although it could take a while!) Then Jas's then prettymum's. I didn't realise that we were nearing the end . Do you have mine now EPPM? I've lost track this time.

Sorry, I hope you didn't feel I was harassing you for the books

So I'm only expecting two more and then we are finished
Reading the reviews it looks like prettymum has ne to send, and the last is with wth.

That means that all 12 books have gone full circle
That must be a first!!

EachPeach - was there a bookswap book in the pile you passed on to me? If so, I am guilty of having done nothing at all with it yet.

EachPeachPearMum · 28/08/2009 22:58

ummm.... good question...
What did I give you?
Don't think there was, as you had read everything that was arriving...

wheresthehamster · 05/09/2009 14:59

I have had Mybaby's book ready to post all week and have now finished Jas's and prettymum's. I will post them all out to you this week prettymum, just trying to work out if it's cheaper to send all three together or separately!

wheresthehamster · 08/09/2009 16:55

Have just sent mybaby's to you prettymum and will send the others shortly

duffpancake · 11/09/2009 22:34

Posted yesterday bookswapper; didn't get to this month's I'm afraid. I blame spotify . And the Twilight series .

Bookswapper · 12/09/2009 23:26

got it thanks duff
sent on to yogabird as well on Friday

wheresthehamster · 20/09/2009 11:05

Sent your book and Jas's off yesterday prettymum. Hope they are ok as I didn't have a proper envelope so slightly oddly packed.

Has everyone received their own back now?

I haven't yet but expecting it next (Is that right?)

I think I'm due one more before my own.

I've finished Bookswappers book, but have completely lost track of time, and will post it this week.

Prettymum, when my book comes round, don't spend money on posting it back to me. Charity shop it or something.

EachPeachPearMum · 22/09/2009 10:13

I have mine back.
I still have Flame's and Janeite's on my 'to read' pile.
Flame- is it okay if I keep it a little longer?

Flamesparrow · 22/09/2009 10:16

yup (Can't remember which book it was, but I know I just went on amazon and bought a copy of whatever it was and got it sent direct, so tis no hurry)

EachPeachPearMum · 22/09/2009 19:12

JF - The C.
Am too scared to start it tbh... tell me it'll be okay?
Looks scary...

Flamesparrow · 22/09/2009 19:28

Lol less scary than thinky iyswim

EachPeachPearMum · 22/09/2009 20:30

Ah... well... I'll be brave then

yogabird · 28/09/2009 13:22

THanks Bookswapper, received.

Cynarasamba, I liked yours best last year and have been eagerly awaiting this one. A great book! I know cos I've read it already! So a bit of a shame cos that was a 12 month wait, never mind. Have you read the one he wrote before? 'If nobody speaks...' Loved that too. Mine appears to have not been read since June, hope it comes back to me though, wouldn't mind reading it again.

Are we going to start again when we're all done?

Jas · 29/09/2009 21:02

I'd like to go again

I still haven't posted my book....got as far as the post office today but the queue was out of the door. I'll take it again tomorrow, I promise.

Yogabird - we seem to be on the same book wavelength! So glad you enjoyed it. I haven't read his previous book but will definitely seek it out.

The reason I chose this book is a bit random. My mum found out there was a secret in her family recently that most other family members knew about. The way the man in the book feels when he finds out "the secret" really spoke to her and she wanted me to read it. I think there is a quote something along the lines of "he felt as if he was in a house and he could see his family hiding outside the walls and laughing at him" which really summed up how she felt for a while.

I'd be up for a third circle!

duffpancake · 06/10/2009 21:28

Received, thanks Jas. It's yours, bookswapper, so you won't be having another one from me until you get yours back-- think I may have sent last month's or the month's before on a bit hastily as I thought I was behind.

I'm on for another round; anyone else?

duffpancake (fka mybabys)

Bookswapper · 07/10/2009 22:32

I have Yogabid's to send on to her...apologies for tardiness.

I promise to pick a better book for the next circle, if everyone wants to ahead

I haven't got yours yet Duffpancake.
Anyone else still got a book to come or is everyone getting their own back next?

OP posts:
EachPeachPearMum · 07/10/2009 23:39

I have had mine back, and I have Janeite's and Flame's (half-read)

wheresthehamster · 08/10/2009 17:38

I wonder where mine is? Has it accidently been charity-shopped?
