Hello,

I joined Mumsnet today and would love to join in a bookswap if anyone has a space?

I love to read, anything and everything, and commuting to work 3 days a week means i get 25 mins each way to bury myself in a book.

I think I get the gist of how this works and would love to join a group if there is a space anywhere....

Many thanks
K

Hi all just wondered where we are up to.

MudandRoses · 18/05/2010 21:36

Hi all

gosh this is taking a while to get started isn't it??
I now have 8 people's addresses, plus one enquiry (waiting for her address) so i think we should go ahead with what we have. I will send out an email in a couple of days to confirm the list order

don't give up ladies, we're nearly there!!

MudandRoses · 18/05/2010 21:37

oh - and I have read Memoirs of a Geisha

5ofus · 18/05/2010 21:48

Hi there - just e-mailed you MudandRoses! Off to dig out 4 books now...

MumofOscar · 18/05/2010 22:08

Hi have you got space for one more?

MudandRoses · 18/05/2010 22:38

Hi Yes, send your address to my email address (see earlier post) and post your 4 books!

Buffty · 19/05/2010 08:32

Hi MudandRoses, I've emailed you my details - - could you let me know when you've received it as I tried sending you them before but I don't think it sent for some reason. Thanks!

5ofus · 19/05/2010 09:46

My 4 books:

  • Buried by Mark Billingham
  • Call after Midnight - Tess Gerritsen
  • The Divide - Nicholas Evans
  • The Night Watch - Sarah Waters

Looked quickly at the other books people have listed and aside from Memoirs of a Geisha, and Adrian Mole I can't see any I've already read.

5ofus · 19/05/2010 09:50

And please not Mercy by JP, I hated that book with a passion. Not many I don't finish but that was one of them.

pinksupergirl · 19/05/2010 21:06

How many people have we got now? Shall we just start?

MumofOscar · 19/05/2010 22:06

MudnadRoses, just emailed my details.

Do i need to give a list of 4 books now? I don't really understand that bit

MudandRoses · 19/05/2010 22:26

We have 11 people! Hurrah! I think we should go ahead.
MumofOscar you need to choose 4 books you'd be willing t send, so we have a chance to say if we've read any of them, then you choose just one to send.
5ofus - I'm assuming you're Mel? - I have read The Night Watch, none of the others.

Check your inboxes, Pageturners!!

MumofOscar · 20/05/2010 09:24

Ok heres my list:

Backpack - Emily Barr
If you could see me now - Cecelia Aherne
Back when we were grown ups- Anne Tyler
The Bad Mothers Handbook - Kate Long

I've read Marshmellows for Breakfast but i think thats already been vetoed.

Excited now!

ABatInBunkFive · 20/05/2010 11:55

I've read if you could see me now and the bad mothers handbook.

5ofus · 20/05/2010 15:59
