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

madhouse, if you have 2 to post to Luna does that mean she has missed a month (and hence I shouldn't hold my breath )? I'm off on hols from Thurs next week.

whispywhisp · 13/08/2008 11:07

Floss...I sent two to madhouse a while back because I sent one in advance, iykwim! I had one to send anyway that was slightly late and one I'd got that I knew I wouldn't get in to, so to save on p&p I sent both at the same time. Hope that helps! x

I've just finished the last one, and wanted to post about it but can't find the thread and can't work out whose book it is!

FlossCampi · 18/08/2008 10:10

rosmerta, I couldn't figure it out either... wondering if it's whispy's though, looking at the posting list.

TheMadHouse · 18/08/2008 10:12

Yes I have two to post to Luna - just finnished second one - sorry

whispywhisp · 19/08/2008 15:47

rosmerta...what are the author's initials of the book you've just read?

rosmerta · 19/08/2008 15:50

DK

whispywhisp · 19/08/2008 19:13

Nope, not mine.

FlossCampi · 19/08/2008 22:52

I've had books from:

  • lunavix
  • Flame
  • TheMadHouse
  • Psychomum
  • ???

which is why I thought the ??? must be Whispy's since that's the "gap" in the list of people before me in the posting circle.

Next up the list is mehdismummy, but having snooped on her thread in the book swaps section, it doesn't sound like it. Mystified.

whispywhisp · 20/08/2008 09:34

I get my books from Flame and I post on to Madhouse in the circle.

BlueberryBeret · 26/08/2008 19:38

I'm lost with which book I just read!!!

Book initials are D T A, cover has a girl at a table...

(I am Flame btw)

rosmerta · 26/08/2008 21:24

Flame, don't think I've had that one, or can't remember it if I had!

Coco, you're going to be so proud of me, I've posted your book today - 2 days early

Cocodrillo · 28/08/2008 18:28

Thanks Rosmerta. I was mystified by the mystery package, until I checked the thread. How exciting!

I don't have a book to post on to you this month Squilly, but will post this one on as soon as I'm done.

Could this book I've just received be Missing's book? Author DK.

squilly · 29/08/2008 17:49

No probs. I'm just catching up with my car boot purchases. I read last months early, so I sent it early too, so hopefully dinny will have had 2 last time, but won't get one this time, if that makes sense.

I've got Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace if you're desparate for a read, though, Dinny. Just let me know and I'll send it on.

Hope everyone is doing fine.

Flamesparrow · 31/08/2008 02:10

anyone able to place my book?

rosmerta · 31/08/2008 09:05

flame, I'm wondering if a couple of books will have gone missing with the people that dropped out?

Flamesparrow · 31/08/2008 10:47

Oh, not my book I sent, the one I just read - I want to post on the thread but have no idea who it came from originally

rosmerta · 31/08/2008 10:50

ahh, now it makes sense! I still haven't found the owner of the DK book

Flamesparrow · 31/08/2008 11:08

I can't remember who wrote mine that I sent - would it be easier if we started giving full author names? (I am more likely to recognise a full name than initials...)

rosmerta · 31/08/2008 11:13

I think so, giving the author name isn't go to give away the book really. I'll have to try and remember mine now!

Flamesparrow · 02/09/2008 18:12

Whispy - book winging its way to you - still no idea who owns it though!!!

whispywhisp · 09/09/2008 14:08

Madhouse...book going in the post to you tomorrow. Would've been sooner but not been well. Sorry. x

rosmerta · 09/09/2008 16:13

Flossie, do I have a book this month?

FlossCampi · 10/09/2008 11:26

rosmerta, afraid not - I haven't had any from lunavix since the DK you had last. Madhouse said she had 2 to post to luna at the end of Aug so maybe she hasn't read them yet..?

I could post you something at random if you're feeling short of reading material though :-)

Cocodrillo · 20/09/2008 20:32

This thread's gone very quiet.

I'll be posting on to you this coming week, Squilly.
