Dinny was not happy about big books, but she's opted out for next year.

Flamesparrow · 10/12/2008 20:01

Ah yes, that was it

Ok - now can everyone email me their address (flamesparrow at gmail dot com).

If you were in the last circle and haven't moved house/changed email since the start, then I have your address already.

sleepyeyes · 11/12/2008 16:45

Oh YEAH! I've never done a book circle thing, I think I will need a list of rules or something.
Will just email you.

TinselianAstra · 11/12/2008 17:36

Rules are like this...

1 Pick a book:
No chick lit, mis lit, or non-fic (bar one)

2 Post it to the next person on the list: Flame will send you the address

3 Receive a book in the post

4 Read it

5 Comment on the book you get

6 Post it on again at the beginning of the next month

7 Go to step 3

Easy, huh?

sleepyeyes · 11/12/2008 17:39

Thanks for the rules.
Whats Mislit?

Will have a look through my books see whats suitable.

TinselianAstra · 11/12/2008 17:43

I think it's 'misery'. Books about child abuse, often semi-autobiographical, 'did't I have an awful childhood, poor me'.

I wasn't involved in the first circle so I'm just passing on what I've picked up.

sleepyeyes · 11/12/2008 17:57

Thanks, certainly dont own any of those types of books just reading the titles make me depressed.

FlamesparodyOfAChristmasName · 11/12/2008 18:16

lol - just emailed a much more waffling version of that

sherby · 11/12/2008 18:27

Yes def no mislit

I hate even looking at that stuff on the shelves

Address emailed

Oh and congrats on baby rosmerta, thats one big baby!

Cocodrillo · 11/12/2008 22:10

Rosmerta how am I doing? How are you doing more like! What an enormous baby! Well done and congratulation. Fab news!

FlossieT · 12/12/2008 01:44

Many congratulations, rosmerta!! That is very impressive... none of mine have been bigger than 7.5lbs...

PoinsettiasScareMe · 17/12/2008 19:57

Sleepyeyes, Korma and Squilly - please can you email me your addresses and I can get sorted

Original swappees - have you moved since we FIRST started?? if so, tell me!!

I will send everyone their swappee address and their own, so you can verify I have got the right one!

rosmerta · 17/12/2008 20:51

Coco/flossie, I seem destined to have quite large babies, ds1 was 8lb 11oz! Things are going quite well atm though, just need to sort out his sleeping!

Poinsetta, my email/address is the same, do you need me to email you again?

psychohohohoho · 17/12/2008 21:20

FlossieT · 17/12/2008 23:26
