Hi I have started another thread as the old one took ages to sort out. Right as far as I am concerned our newest member is Mars. Katy, I am not sure if you have added any more???

if people are going to sign up for both books swaps, you'd need to know who sent you the book, otherwise books could end up doing figures of eight, instead of going round the circle, IYSWIM

btw, still haven't got my second book!! are we still aiming to post to 3rd person by 1st July? I won't have much time to read mine.

bresha · 16/06/2006 10:03

i was thinking that to kickassangel,

bresha · 16/06/2006 10:12

We would have to put a sticker on the front cover or a little mark on the inside of the cover with something on that would tell us witch swap it belongs to, or we could just stick to only being on one swap

Please don’t hurt me franny , I wont hurt your book, I promise

bresha · 16/06/2006 10:16

kickassangel who sent your book, email them and ask if they have sent it.

we should make sure that we send out books on time because its not fair to those who have to Waite

i think we are still posting on the 1st,

As far as I know our swap is the same but Mars had been added. It would have been too complicated form my little brain to add anymore. So there iare about 14 of us in total off the top of my head.

haven't got my 2nd yet but mars posted it yesterday so should be fine. very disappointed at the lack of scones in our book swap! Wink

PanicPants · 16/06/2006 12:37

I've nearly finished my second book! But kipper, have some pimms and strawberries instead.

kickassangel · 16/06/2006 14:43

katyrocks sent me my last book, but i've just done a search & realised she hasn't posted AT ALL in June, so either away on holiday, or dead, those being the only 2 reasons not to be on mn, instead of enjoying rl.

peachyClair · 16/06/2006 17:21

I haven't had my book yet, posted mine on (and was received) last week.

MarsLady · 16/06/2006 17:35

I got mine UCM. Sorry, had the funeral on my mind. Hope it went well for you yesterday. It was lovely today, sad, but lovely.

Hope your book arrived or arrives shortly kip!

kickassangel · 16/06/2006 23:56

bresha · 17/06/2006 08:34

PanicPants · 17/06/2006 19:06

Who should send to you peachyclair? Is it katyrocks?

Maybe we should put a shout out for her.

bresha · 19/06/2006 12:14

kipper22 · 19/06/2006 13:01

hi, i'm so sorry i haven't been keeping up with things. new puppy ruling household, been running rings round us, just like having another baby! Anyway, I'm back! (she's napping, lol)

received my book the other day (thanks) and thought 'aaaaaggggghh - book club'!!!

have posted to you kka, sorry for the delay.

nobody but Marslady has added on, UCM Smile

Cappucino · 20/06/2006 09:28

how does this work? cos I have a book i want to swop (the lost art of keeping secrets by eva rice) but I've been reading through the threads and there's no way I have the commitment for this two-weekly deal since I already go to a book club in rl and it's hard enough to keep up with that

is there some lazy-ass splinter group yet?

dewmeadow · 20/06/2006 09:47

finished Noahs Ark and enjoyed it. When are we posting again?
