The Fur Quits - Book Swapping Chat

[swissmiss]

A Master thread for all our general stuff .

COL by LB and TO by JH are the last two books I have to read - can anyone tell me where they are at the moment?
Thanks!!

Cathcat - I have not had that yet but I have already read it so suggested to Swissmiss she posted directly to you.

I think I only have Cathcat's left to read (TO I think ?).

Think I am still due another book too...

Caykon's I think????

I have had all the books and posted steameds back to her.

Simpson - hopefully you will get my book soon, no need to rush reading it, send it back on whenever you finish it.

Yes, have got mine back now, thanks caykon!

Are we going to do another round?

Ooh, lost thread, I had TO but sent it off a few weeks ago to lightshines along with another, which I can't rememeber.
What was COL by LB, I don't think I have had that either.
Haven't had either of mine back, bloody welsh post is shite!

I don't have book back yet or have seen the two next ones (although one I think is going straight to Cathcat).

Swissmiss - when you get teh chance, is it worth posting a list of all books by title/owner and we can all work out what we've had and not had ?

I'll definitely be up for another round but suspect we ought to get this one finished off first !

been m.i.a. here! rl a bit crazy atm.

cathcat - i'll pop CH by KA in the post later today for you.

wheely - good idea about posting full list, will add it later when i'm not meant to be getting ready for school run! i don't think i'll sign up for another year as in all honesty i've not managed to read half the books i've had mostly due to being busy.

if no-one else objects and wheely still wants to take on running the fur quits (thanks for offering!) i'll email her my list of all your addresses.

gtg or ds will be late for school.

Our full list for 2009/10:

Swissmiss - City of Light, Lauren Balfour
Wheelybug - Mister Pip, Lloyd Jones
Cathcat - The Observations by Jane Harris
Headintheclouds - CASE HISTORIES, KATE ATKINSON
Simpson - 44 Scotland Street, Alexander McCall Smith
Caykon - The Wasp Factory, Iain Banks
Steamedtreaclesponge - Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
MoominMymbleandMy - The Summer Book, Tove Jansson

CandleQueen - The Welsh Girl by Peter Ho Davies
jackbauer - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Stieg Larsson and Middlewhich Cockoo by JW
LightShinesInTheDarkness - The Shipping News, Annie Proulx

Hi Swissmiss ! Thanks for posting those. Would it be useful if people say what books they have so everyone can see where their book is (or other books they haven't had ?)?

Am happy to take over organisation of another round - but also happy for someone else to do it !

Thanks for setting this round up Swissmiss. It has been good !

Caykon's book arrived with me today so I will crack on with it tomorrow

Will try and finish it ASAP...

Have just checked with swissmiss's list and it looks like after Caykon's I will have done all 12

Hi All,
Ive had every book now-am just waiting for my own to come back-I am going to back out of the next round im afraid-
I too have had so much going on I just didnt get time to do all of the books justice-Also Im a bookaholic and have about 60 books unread-my resolution this year was to get them read and not buy any new ones!!
Thanks to Swiss Miss for setting it up and hope it continues!!

I havne't had swissmiss's book or lightshines, but I have the shipping news and have been trying to read it for months

I do have The Observations, I thought it had been posted but it hadn't

My second book is the Midwich Cuckoos by JOhn Wyndham

Hi All

Swissmiss has passed me on the details of you all so when I get a mo I'll work out who has said they want to continue and email tose that do and those who haven't said and try and work out how many we are short and then advertise for a few newies. Does that sounds ok I'll also try to round up where books are that still doing the rounds. Then we'll take it from there. Does that sound ok ?

Had quick look on who's in and who isn't and think it is so far as follows:

Yes - Me, Steamedtreacle, cathcat, lightshines, simpson

No - Swissmiss, headintheclouds

Don't know - JackBauer, TeamEd, caykon, Moomin and Madamy.

If any of the don't knows can post and let me know that would be great (or if I have any of the others wrong).

I'm up for another round

Great Caykon ! Will add you to the yeses !

Hi Wheelybug!

Much to my annoyance I have just realised I can't do another round as I'll be travelling for three months this autumn - booooo.

I know Moomin's just moved house, don't think she has her broadband set up yet so she's not on here much at the moment.

that sounds exciting Steamedtreacle - where you off to ? Sorry you can't join us after all.

I'm going to Mongolia on the train, and then wandering around China and the Himalayas for a bit... I'm sure I'll be desperate for new things to read but I think the postage costs might be a bit prohibitive!

Hello!
I can't join in this time as I am hoping to go back to Uni in september

Had fun though

steamedtreacle - on your trip!!

JB - good luck with uni

Have finished my last book so will post it on in the next couple of days
