We are due to finish our circle shortly and are regrouping. Priority goes to existing members, but not everyone is rejoining, so there will be space for new people.

Andi - You can post when you want, tbh, but unless we get things moving you will not get a book for anything up to four months, after the next one or possibly two, as I haven't had one since before Christmas, and the longer this goes on the worse it gets.

Ok, if you have a book you have read or are not reading, I would say post it NOW.

If you are halfway through, read it quick and post by next weekend.

Then after that, 1st May.

Howzat?

I have no book so can be as bossy as I like without panicking about what I should be reading

I've written down the 2 I have skipped to get from the library.

I'll agree to anything.

Particularly if it means I may get a non chick-lit book to read. (My neighbour passes them on to me. If I don't get something else soon, I'll have to go to the library and risk the fines.)

Jas - send me your address again and I will post you a random bonus book

andirobobo · 21/03/2010 15:31

I will post it tomorrow then just in case I lose it before May!

I will have to venture to the Library if I am not getting a book for a while then!

Thanks, Flame. Got you book

Still no reply from Galen, though. Wendy, if I send you my address, could we bypass her for a while until we know if she is in or out?....

Posted on Friday so you should get yours soon Andirobo

EachPeachPearMum · 02/04/2010 20:49

This week I have posted 2 to Wendy, and 1 to Flame, and I have received one from andirobo.
Hopefully I'll be back on track now, as I'm already a third through the new one

Jas- if you still want something to read, fb me

< Sigh>

Still no bookclub book, and no reply from Galen.

Flame. I have finished your book. Thankyou. Do you want it sending back to you?

EPPM - Thanks. I'm going to just get myself to the library this week and see what I can find.

I can't remember what I went with. Was it Stealing? If so, then no, just set it free somewhere or something

Jas · 12/04/2010 20:54

As soon as I find it I'll let you know.

Have been off here for a while as house moving; I will CAT you my new address Jas, thanks btw for last year's book back, received it ages ago.

duffpancake · 13/04/2010 11:04

Dang, CAT subscription has run out. Do you still have my email Jas? You could email me and then I could send the address.

Duffpancake _ I think I've found the right email. If I have, then you will have a message from me.

Flame _ It was stealing....I'll send it on to DP when I get her new address if that is ok.

Wendy.. You too should have a message from me via Facebook. I've pretty much given up on Galen. I've not heard from her since she sent the first book of the swap, so I'm sending you my address so you can hopefully send straight to me unless we hear from her in the mean time.

Well, we have progress

Galen is back in touch and I am expecting two books. She has just received two more from Wendy.

I've got your new address DP, so I'll post Flames extra book to you on Monday (can't face queuing in the post office with three children, sorry) and hopefully by the end of the month I will have had more books and we can get back on track.

OP posts:
WhatDoFlamesDoTheseDays · 20/04/2010 17:45

Should I have posted my book?

(Sorry, I'm all over the place, aim to have it finished by end of next week at latest)

Jas · 21/04/2010 10:37

I posted a book to DuffPancake today (the bonus book from Flame.)

I still haven't had the ones from galen yet, so I wouldn't worry too much about rushing to post Flame. There is a bit of a bottleneck of books before me as it is.

received Jas, thanks very much!

duffpancake · 04/05/2010 01:12

Ahem, hoping to see all of you over on the Lionel Shriver thread asking penetrating questions about The Post-Birthday World!

MegBusset · 06/05/2010 21:28

Have just received Jas's book. So are we planning to all post on June 1 then?

Jas · 07/05/2010 20:32

I still have no book so I can't.
