book clun swap

[jklikesrowing]

lets start a new book thing swap, who wants to join?

la la la la la la la! [fingers in ears]

I HAVE POSTED IT THIS MORNING!!!

How Very Smug! [sticks tongue out at ESP]

OK, here's the plan. I will send Calico's book to Piebald even though I really want to read it - I started it and it looks great. But I need a clean slate. If if makes it back to Calico perhaps I can borrow it again?

I will send MTU's Tome to dinky because she deserves to suffer.

IF I manage to locate that elusive Post Office.

No, No, No Swampy - You are posting one book to ESP and one to me this time! See my 19 Jan post for the postings for the Jan swaps

I'm a stupidly fast reader (tend to finish a book in a couple of days) so if you send MTU's tome to ESP and keep hold of Calico's for another week or so then post to me that's fine

I am still feeling quite smug. This is lucky as my heating has gone poof, so it is helping to keep me warm.

Oops! So why did piebald PM me her address? Too late, I had already FOUND the blasted Post Office... Shall I send ESP something random to read?

I'm posting tomorrow.

I had Kiwijesta's book this time and really enjoyed it. It's very old fashioned in parts but that's fine. Being half Australian it appealed to me. I found it interesting that it was told from the perspective of a slightly set apart narrator recounting events that happened to the main character. I got engrossed in the story, only thing is the chapters are so long! I like to finish at the end of a chapter but had to stop in the middle of them! Posting tomorrow morning - I PM'd Afternoons to let her know.

Looking forward to my next book :)

You had piebalds address from when ESP departed our loving fold - she is back in now so you post to her again not Piebald. Can you pm Piebald ESP's address and Piebald please send 1 of the 2 bks you get to ESP? ((wanders off in search of a stiff gin))

That was to Swampy by the way

Ops yikes ESP not a good time to loose the heating - hope you're ok and the smug hug keeps you warm!

I missed that about your heating ESP, hope you get it sorted QUICKLY! Our house is always freezing. It is old and leaky and expensive to heat. These days I think it is pretty warm if I wake up and it is 15 degrees in our bedroom!

OK does it matter whichone i send or can i keep the one i like the look of most

Swampster - the bedroom in the flat we rented when doing our building works was like that! You have my sympathies. Our electric blanket was our saviour...

Piebald - either one is fine as dont think she'll have had either one yet from the clun go round...

Cough cough - has everyone posted now?

I was waiting to see which book had the biggest print and they are both tiny!

piebald!

I have my new book. It is one DH has on the bookshelf. I have not read it yet.

I've just been revisiting [[http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/other_subjects/344469-recording-the-savaged-minmin-story-for-posterity
my favourite ever MN thread]] - well it is up there with The Cube Of Poo.

Yes Miss, I have

Have posted, but not received yet, am waiting excitedly

Thanks swampy I've not seen that before. I laughed a lot . You just know noone could make up a story like that.

I have to confess - I haven't posted!! I've been so punctual in previous months, this month I haven't had a moment to get to the post office. I'm thinking tomorrow I'll get a lift to the PO in my lunchbreak. I'm hoping to collect my book from the collection office on Weds [tardy emoticon]

My book has arrived thanks Swampy - DH spotted it and said god that's quite a tome!
