Re: Book Swap
I sent mine yesterday afternoon first class, hoping my swap partner got it today!

Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Re: Book Swap
Thank you Bryony
Received my book today - not one I have read - and would not necessarily have ever picked up to read - but started it this morning over breakfast, and I am enjoying it.
So - thank you mrsfibble for a great book swap idea - really glad you took the trouble to organise it, and thank you Bryony for opening my literary world!

Re: Book Swap
Glad to hear that you are enjoying the book mrsf.
Count me in for the next one - and thanks in advance to the organisers - I really like the book swap idea - I think it is easy to always pick up something that appeals to you and not delve into something different so this way is interesting to try a new genre or style or author.
