The Fur Quits - Book Swapping Chat

[swissmiss]

A Master thread for all our general stuff .

Yes, I've worked outa few more (I think) but its not spoiling it - still exciting !! If I've worked them out right, I have read 2 of them but am expecting a couple of people to have read mine already too.

One of them I would be interested in re-reading as I didn't like it despite loving all the author's other work.

Looking forward to receiving my first book (Must get through my current book though).

Are we posting the 1st of every month ? Just so I can prioritise between this book and my RL reading group book (which is always first thurs of month).

yes post 1st each moth please!

oh well, messed that up with links, will try later when i'm not trying to bf!

Sorry! posting today (am useless, I know)

Only finished it last night what with IL's visiting and RL getting in the way, but it was really good, so am glad I chose it!

I'm posting today also - didn't have the car yesterday and couldn't face the idea of walking to the Post Office in the heat!

I'm also posting today, had hell of a day yesterday. going to get organised this morning.

I'm posting today too - bit disorganised, sorry! Glad it's not just me

Received my book this morning, thank you . It looks really good so can't wait to get started.

Receievd my book too, very apt considering where I live thanks!

Am printing off postage now, look, in that window there--->>>>>

Received my book today too. Looking forward to starting- best start soon, its quite long (scares everybody - hee hee !). Looks good though.

Received book today-thanks cathcart-How organised are you!
Sorry to my receiver(simpson)-yours is being posted tomorrow-Im usually pretty organised,but have been away twice in the last 3 weeks with work-and i only get fRIdays off-I will send next one early as we 're going on holiday 25th July(guides honour)

apologies thats cathcat NOT cathcart!

I recieved mine today which is great as I go on holiday tommorrow, I am going to take it with me. Its not a book I would have chose for myself, so am looking forward to reading it.

Sent mine and got mine today - heard of it but not read it before, so looking forward to starting.

Glad you got it JackB. I did think "How appropriate" as I wrote the envelope!!

Got mine, thanks LightShines. Heard about it but not read it or seen the film.

Started reading it already this eve whilst Bf-ing baby

headintheclouds - don't worry

Got another couple of days worth of reading a book I am determined to finish loving!!

my book arrived today!!

Have not read it and it is right up my street

Simpson, Im so glad its 'right up your street'-I loved it and now want to read more of the author.
Cathcats book is looking good as well(it wasnt one I'd have picked for myself). I'm really glad I joined our reading group-my other half who is also a voracious reader laughed when I told him about our group and what it involved,-he said 'Theres so much that can go wrong! You might end up with a crap book, you might not keep up etc. etc.-oh he of little faith with his military history and rugby books!!!

am racing through it on chapter 5

Only started it when kids went to bed this evening too.

Is really good will deffo want to read something else by same author.

Glad I joined this reading group too as it will give me ideas on books I would never have thought of (like this one)

Mine arrived this morning, thank you, and I, ahem, finished it this afternoon and enjoyed it very much.

I will think of something to stick on the linked thread when I've caught up on all the things I should have been doing instead.

Headintheclouds, it is our duty to prove your OH is wrong!

Moomin-what were you reading? a poem?

LOL Headintheclouds!

Er, no, but it wasn't a very long novel and years and years of having my nose in a book have made me a pretty fast reader.

I was about to put some comments on the linked thread when I realised they were likely to prove a spoiler for everyone else.

So should I confine myself to general comments, or go into more detail and we can just look at the linked threads when we've finished the relevant books?

Ooh well done Moomin - I haven't opened mine yet - best get on really but trying to finish another one off first. Must knuckle down.

Moomin - I'd say go into as much detail as you want. It's a discussion about a specific book and if anyone doesn't want to read the spoilers they can stay away from that thread. It's one of the reasons I set up a thread per book.

Any thoughts from the rest of you?
