I've missed out on two now. I quite like the idea, anyone else?

Flossie, yes, that book you read was Mad House's .

squilly · 05/06/2008 06:30

Thanks for the book cocodebear... I am a bit late sending mine out I'm afraid. It took longer than expected to finish, so apologies.

It'll be sent out on Friday...hope this is ok.

CocodeBear · 05/06/2008 13:28

that's fine Squilly. It was a big book! I don't think anyone minds if their book arrives late, as long they know what's going on.

I've been reading the Thirteenth Tale, it's totally unlike anything I've ever read before.

whispywhisp · 05/06/2008 18:10

coco - that's interesting what you say about 13th Tale! Where have you got to in it? I read it the other day. Brilliant book.

squilly · 07/06/2008 15:32

Hi all

I've sent mine today. Apologies dinny for the lateness. I've dug out my own copy of this and still have a bit to finish, then onto this months!

I wonder CocodeBear whether you mean good, unlike anything you've ever read, or strange, unlike anything you've ever read, or crap, unlike anything you've ever read! Reading is such a personal thing and I've recommended stuff before which has fallen flat on it's a**e with someone (usually my sister, who now refuses to borrow anything from me as she thinks it's likely to be pants!).

I'm currently reading (as well as my bookclub book) Cornelia Funke DragonRider. V. good children's book. DD not interested in the slightest, so it's my guilty pleasure book. And it comes with a built in book mark (hard cardboard inner flap...what a fabulous idea!).

Hope everyone is having a grand Saturday.

Hi all, I've finished the 13th tale now.

I enjoyed it overall, but it's not my normal type of book.

It was quite fairy tale-ish, and reminded me in parts of Alice in Wonderland, but much darker...

CocodeBear · 15/06/2008 21:11

Rosmerta? Hellooo? You sent my book yet?

AlienSwampMonster · 15/06/2008 21:17

Still waiting for mine too. That'll teach me to post late.

TheMadHouse · 16/06/2008 20:54

Who sends to me - Whispy is it you. I have not received anything

whispywhisp · 17/06/2008 18:34

madhouse...that's because I rec'd my book only the other day and I'm still reading it. From what I can gather we're running about a month/6wks behind.

TheMadHouse · 17/06/2008 18:39

Oh - It wasnt a public wippy wispy. No worries, I am on hold next week, so no rush

whispywhisp · 17/06/2008 19:03

Ok....I'll get it off to you ASAP. It's taken me a while to get into it. Sorry. x

rosmerta · 17/06/2008 20:14

I can stop hiding now! Coco, I've sent your book along today.

I didn't receive one last time, am I getting one this time around?

FlossieTCake · 17/06/2008 20:39

The last book I had was the one that I think Rosmerta must have just posted to Coco. So don't have one to post on at the moment - at least, one that was in the original circle. I was expecting some through from Lunavix but they haven't emerged

I can pick something and post it if you're feeling short of a book, rosmerta?

AlienSwampMonster · 18/06/2008 13:49

Just got mine, thanks dinny.

TheMadHouse · 18/06/2008 16:16

I meant we are on holiday next week - god my brain just insnt engaging at the moment

whispywhisp · 18/06/2008 16:47

madhouse...ok, I'll post it towards the end of next week!

CocodeBear · 18/06/2008 18:42

confused about all the books lost in the ether

Psychomum5 · 18/06/2008 18:53

I haven;t received any book as yet this month. was there a book to send to me at all??

I was getting from mehidsmummy, but she is obviously out for now, so who was supposed to be posting instead?? have they mistakenly posted as per normal to mehidsmummy???

AlienSwampMonster · 18/06/2008 20:51

Missingtheaction was posting to mehdismummy and I think she will be holding off from posting for the moment. I post to missing and I'm afraid last time she got two books in one hit because I got behind and she had moved and I was waiting for her new address etc., etc. So she had some catching up to do .

Psychomum5 · 18/06/2008 21:02

thankyou alien.

will wait then a decline from panicking about theiving postmen losing books in the post.

rosmerta · 18/06/2008 21:29

Flossie, if you've got something short & easy then I'll take it . Got so much on at the minute that I'm just about keeping up!

CocodeBear · 18/06/2008 22:11

missingtheactions was supposed to post to psychomummy

Flamesparrow · 21/06/2008 10:24

Whispy sorry for putting you behind!!! I am on top of this months so should be posting on time
