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???

bresha · 20/06/2006 09:54

I don’t mined posting mine early though dm. Finished mine 2, I was really good, cant Waite for the next one now

peachyClair · 20/06/2006 10:36

still nothing through for me I am afraid

if it turns up soon can make 1st jukly deadline as a fast reader

bresha · 20/06/2006 10:55

Maybe we should consider putting back the deadline for posting to give the people who got there books late a chance to actually read it!
Every one has got to post on time from now on otherwise it wont work,

kickassangel · 20/06/2006 12:17

still no book!! depends what i get as to whether i can make 1st July. Probably doesn't matter if i post a couple of days late, but this whole 'circle' seems to be stumbling a little!

Katy posted earlier, KAA, she forgot Smile and is posting your book to you. From then on we will post on 5th July and then every 2 weeks after that if every one is willing.

UCM- any idea about mine deary?

kickassangel · 20/06/2006 16:45

oops, sorry, just bothered to look down & see other posts, mustn't post in haste. now looking forward togetting a book soon.

FrannyandZooey · 20/06/2006 16:55

Just keep going with the original deadlines regardless, I think, or it will all snarl up. If we miss out on reading one or two books, because we received a book late, it's not the end of the world, is it? Just keep things moving or it will grind to a halt, IMO.

Bresha I started a thread for the portable door, it's around somewhere. I've just finished the sequal (earth, fire, air and custard) but it's much more complicated, and I think there must of been a book in between as a lot didn't make sense iykwim)

So are we posting on the 1st? But what about the people who haven't been sent their second book yet?

I have emailed everyone. If anyone doesn't have their 2nd book by Monday of next week, I will have to take the senders name off the swap to be fair to the rest of us. I hope this doesn't sound harsh but as someone rightly pointed out earlier, it will fall apart if we don't all post the books regularly.

Thanks Ucm, Have seen your email, and completely agree, otherwise the whole thing will fall apart.

nikkie i posted it last week give it til tomorrow then ill get in touch with post office

FrannyandZooey · 20/06/2006 20:39

If that book has got lost in the post I can easily send another one on to you, nikkie (it was my book originally that Boris would have sent to you). I have loads of decent books hanging around that will only go to charity otherwise.

dewmeadow · 20/06/2006 22:12

UCM I didnt get an email from you.

nikkie · 20/06/2006 22:14

If it doesn't turn up, I'll start another one off I have loads hanging around anyway! GrinJust wanted to check.
What book was it by the way?
