Am a bit late this month but hopefully will get to the post office tomorrow prettymum.

janeite · 05/03/2009 21:05

Lol. I can't remember what I wrote but it was probably totally inane!

BandMeeting · 06/03/2009 12:22

Twas a bit about the book I like getting notes in them (rarely remember to stick one in myself)

EachPeachPearMum · 06/03/2009 14:22

Me too! andyrobo sometimes puts one in... but I always seem to forget- maybe because we're actually in email contact Janeite.
It's nice to get one though, isn't it Flame?

It is the first one I've had with a note and it was nice to read.

I'm in the hard-hearted camp with Janeite on this book, too.

I'm going to post it this week, as I'm finished already, and the next one will be late, as I'm on holiday from 31st March fr almost 3 weeks, so probably won't even get it until nearly the end of the month

I did enjoy it though Jas. Janeite goes off to write some notes for Flame before posting! And needs to write an email to EachPeach too. Am just typing up department minutes (WHY am I doing this before 8.30 on a Saturday morning?!).

I've posted Aprils book today, but it will probably be a very long gap before the next one due to holidays.

So it turns out mine wasn't posted the other day (thanks DH)... (Tis Flame)

wheresthehamster · 12/03/2009 16:50

Thanks flame - received today. Looks an interesting read.

janeite · 14/03/2009 16:16

Aghhhhhhhhhh - sorry Flame. Just got back from a week's residential with school and realised that both books are still sitting on my bedside table. Will try and get sorted on Monday.

MegBusset · 15/03/2009 12:54

Sorry ladies but I'm going to have to duck out of this year's circle.

This year's books haven't been my sort of thing so far and with DC2 due in 5 weeks I don't think I'm going to have the time to read or get to the post office on time!

That means Cynarasamba will be posting straight to Andyrobo from now on, I think?

Flamesparrow · 15/03/2009 12:57

Never a problem Janeite where I am in two circles it gives me time to read one then the other

EachPeachPearMum · 15/03/2009 14:04

Meg- thats sad news... but I know the feeling (read 30 pages last month!)
Hope all goes well with DC2

duffpancake · 15/03/2009 15:17

Sorry to see you go Meg, best of luck with the imminent arrival!

Received April's, Jas, thanks. Only about 2 pages into March's-- the pressure, the pressure!

EachPeachPearMum · 15/03/2009 15:59

ok- who is duff pancake?

duffpancake · 15/03/2009 16:25

Rats! You have found my hairy-handed truck-driving self out! Actually it's mybabysinthegarden; I've got two now so rather than attempt to correct my name into a grammatically-correct tongue-twister I've gone for a fresh start.

Meg, I've just seen that it's my encyclopedia of a book that's finally killed the book swap for you.

Jas · 15/03/2009 19:12

Meg - to see you going, but good luck with the new baby. (Let us know how you get on)
And thanks for letting us know

Duffpancake - no pressure. You won't be getting another one for a good while!

Jas · 26/03/2009 18:35

I leave on the 31st, so if you are still reading, then slow down and enjoy it I get back on the 17th April, s it would be nice to come back to.

I am struggling with books a bit atm, I am getting there though - sorry for a hold up

janeite · 27/03/2009 23:36

Flamesparrow · 28/03/2009 08:07
