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

Squilly I've started a thread for you on the book swaps.

Flossie, it's 1000.

MadHouse, do e-mail me soon, I'd love to hear from you, and I've been thinking of you all. I hope the op goes smoothly.

good morning all....

I still have had no books for a while!!

I have altogether received four books since the beginning of this, and the last two came together from mehidsmummy before she left, so that would have been april.

I wonder if somehow they are being sent somewhere else by mistake, or if they are being sent to me, then they are getting lost en-route......

any ideas??

Cocodrillo · 10/07/2008 13:32

Missingtheaction is supposed to be posting to you, psycho. And you should have had five books, and be due your sixth...

Back in June missing said she had two books ready to post ... so

we need to find out from her where, if anywhere, they went...

I'll dig out her e-mail address when I'm home ... I'm at work.

Psychomum5 · 11/07/2008 07:38

hoping then that she has help on to them waiting to post

JamInMyWellies · 11/07/2008 07:47

Oh how does this work is it read any old book and pass it on or are you all organised and read same book and discuss?

Flamesparrow · 12/07/2008 20:05

Have left a couple of stalking messages for MTA

FlossieTCake · 13/07/2008 23:47

Right, I've finished my second mystery book. rosmerta, are you in need of material right now or shall I wait til the end of the month to post?

I've had five books altogether now (including the one I just finished) - is that the right number?

squilly · 14/07/2008 10:14

Dinny, I've finished my book quite quickly this time around. It was something I hadn't read before so I was itching to try it...

If you want me to send it early, just let me know and I'll post it on. If I don't hear from you, I'll leave it til we get the reminder at the end of the month...

Though, I'm a bit curious about how that will work with the school holidays? We're not away particularly, but if anyone else is, will it interfere with the normal posting regime?? Just a thought!

Cocodrillo · 16/07/2008 20:21

Rosmerta did you post a book to me? You said you'd finished one a while back. I haven't received it if you did! Hope it's not lost...

Cocodrillo · 20/07/2008 07:50

squilly I think we will just post as normal over the summer. There are always delays anyway, so I think it's best to try and keep things moving.

flossie I think we ideally should have had six books each by now, but we're running about a month behind, so five sounds right to me.

psycho you had your books from missing now? She said she would post asap.

squilly · 20/07/2008 08:17

Thanks cocodrillo. Hope things are good with our readers this morning. We've got blue skies this morning, which is nice. And dd is at grandma's so I get to read my book in peace! AH!

Happy Sunday everyone. Hope all the baby bumps in the group are doing well.

NikkiHawkins84 · 21/07/2008 12:44

Can I join?
I have so many books that I love and want to pass on!

rosmerta · 22/07/2008 21:17

coco, so sorry, you know I'm crap . Anyway, have posted it today

Cocodrillo · 22/07/2008 22:55

thanks honey

Flamesparrow · 24/07/2008 20:22

Psycho's been away on and off so she might have to collect them from sorting office.

I've finished my book so will send on

Cocodrillo · 25/07/2008 17:30

Got my book Rosmerta, thank you!

It's a right good rollicking read. If not the most cheerful.

Am about halfway through already. Big print helps!

rosmerta · 25/07/2008 17:58

Yep, I was a fan of the big print as well!

Psychomum5 · 26/07/2008 10:58

I have my books

came home to a 'missed parcel' card and have just been this morning when we dropped off DD2 to scout summer camp.

both look fab books and the type I like so am goona have to now book a day to read them!

I might just have to sunbathe too......

Cocodrillo · 27/07/2008 22:17

I have just finished the book with the initials BID. Started it on Thursday, so I have raced through it, it was really gripping.
I have spent some time trying to work out who sent it, and I've wittled it down (I think) to either Whispy or Psycho.

Which one of you does this book belong to so I can do my write-up?

Psychomum5 · 27/07/2008 22:34

if it is a hard back and features a teenager then it is mine!!

altho I thought I put my name in mine....not sure, I may not have (or I may have put my RL name in and it begins with an A!!)

FlossieTCake · 27/07/2008 22:57

Hurray, now I know where to write too

Does that mean the one I have just finished was whispy's?

swampster · 27/07/2008 23:22

Still waiting for mine .

Cocodrillo · 28/07/2008 07:27

thanks psycho

I will pencil in your name before posting it on.

I seem to remember from a thread ages ago that you have a really beautiful and unusual first name...

Flossie, I think the book you've just read is most likely to be Whispy's. We're reading them slightly out of the order they were first posted in (somehow).

I've been trying to work out whose is who's from what people have said on the swap threads, plus a small number of people told me which title they were posting in an advance...

Cocodrillo · 28/07/2008 07:29

when did you last get sent a book, swampie? How many have you had so far? Six should have gone out to each person now (Feb to July), snd we're due our 7th in August.

Flamesparrow · 28/07/2008 08:05

How many of us have read every book so far?
