kipper22 · 29/10/2006 16:42

book received and being read for the 13th! thanks mars

PanicPants · 02/11/2006 18:48

Haven't received a book yet from peachy. So won't be able to pass it on, on the 13th iyswim.

WelshBorisSaysFawkeOff · 02/11/2006 19:01

Got the books thanks Franny

Nikkie have those books turned up yet?

nikkie · 02/11/2006 19:24

Nope someone must be having a good read, next book put a note in directing them here!

FrannyonFire · 03/11/2006 21:38

Look I have been a bit crap about this lately and I really can't see things improving in the run up to Christmas etc, so could I opt out at this point please? Thanks so much to all for the experience, especially to UCM for organising it, and I would love to do it again sometime.

But meanwhile, bumbleweed could you post to Boris instead of me, please? I have sent all the books I've had on to Boris, so I hope this doesn't muck things up too much. I guess one book could go back to its owner, or be used as a spare if problems arise? Or will it just all work out?

nikkie · 03/11/2006 22:00

MIne have all disappeared anyway

bumbleweed · 04/11/2006 14:19

okay Franny I will post onto Boris if I can find the original address list

FrannyonFire · 04/11/2006 18:20

Thanks, if not I can give you her address

I know this has gorn a bit 'tits up' recently. If I ever start another one, I will do smaller groups. About 8 to a group.

Just want to say that it's been great swapping with ALL of you and I think it's going to come to an end with the next 4 or so books. I have read books I never would have read.

SO THANKS GIRLS

Oh and remember, whether you have read em or not, next date is 13th November - shit or bust. Right!

nikkie · 04/11/2006 22:14

MIne still hasn't appeared!

PanicPants · 04/11/2006 22:24

Oh dear, seems a bit sad, after such a good start, that things are slowing down a bit.

If I don't get a book from peachyclair, I will send one on anyway to keep it going on the 13th.

WelshBorisSaysFawkeOff · 05/11/2006 08:43

bumbleweed just post straight onto nikkie, shes under me in the list

Im gutted about this, and blame myself for those 2 books being lost in the post. I posted them via the post office, but I couldnt afford recorded

When all settles down, and we get our books back Ill pay for the ones who were lost, but Im not joining in anymore.

Nikkie, ive got 2 books to send onto you, Ill do it Tuesday when I have my money so I can send them recorded

kickassangel · 05/11/2006 11:16

i've also really enjoyed doing this. work has gone mad this week, but i WILL read every book & post on time.

fullmoonfiend · 05/11/2006 11:20

I'm a bad person, I have 2 books which I have forgotton to post (Dinner for two and Bad Moon Rising) They came together..will do it monday and I am so sorry for inconvenience. They are coming to Peachy I believe.
I do want to continue though ifthat's ok? I too have loved getting new books to read and I really don't care if my 'original' never comes back to me...

Well if everyone can sort out between themselves, the others posting addys, whoever wants to drop out at this point, tis' fine. I will continue for as long as I get my book back. FMF, you currently have it, I reckon it will be another 4 books before we have the originals so full circle

OP posts:
nikkie · 05/11/2006 18:45

WB- I don't blame you for the books getting lost, I've had it with the PO before.I haven't sent any recorded either don't know hy its happened now.

In my earlier post it looks like I said as long as I get my book back. I don't actually care if I get it back either, it's just that I will know we have gone round the circle.

kipper22 · 06/11/2006 12:23

just to say i'm still really enjoying this too! thanks ucm! we need to work out how to get you up o stage for a bow and a big bouquet of flowers at the end of all tis - do you have the speech written?

kipper22 · 06/11/2006 12:24

aaaarrrrgh! that was on stage and the end of all this!

kickassangel · 08/11/2006 21:44

whilst i would welcome my book back as a much travelled (and battered) friend, i deliberately chose something that i could afford to lose (emotionally).

FrannyonFire · 08/11/2006 21:48

I don't mind whether I get mine back or not, it could go to charity if the final recipient does not want it

(I did like the book but have too many books already)

I would be up for doing another one of these in the New Year, perhaps? Maybe a smaller circle, with a theme, or something like that?

Perhaps you could start organising one now Franny

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 09/11/2006 13:23

Erm...........no

(btw UCM I did not mean to criticise the way this one has been organised, you have done a fab job. Just thinking maybe next time try something slightly different, for a change?)
