COMPLETE:Winter Book Swap 2020: S/U: 10/6-10/17 Send outs: 11/18/20

Ha. Mine either.

I have been reading Maurice Druon’s series “Les Rois Maudits” (The Accursed Kings). I’m on book 4, “La loi des mâles.” The law it refers to is the Salic Law. I think the book is called The Royal Succession in English.

I am currently reading the first in the Paper Magician series, imaginatively titled The Paper Magician :rofl: :rofl:

Loving it so far and have the other two already to go once finished.

Books have been delivered and chocolate has been purchased. I am usually quite good at putting it to one side, but have had one of those days, so it may be consumed and replaced closer to sending :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Have some half baked ideas on the craft, but struggling with the decision making bit!

I’m the same :smiley:

I hear that.

I’m always reading a few books at a time, which means it takes forever to get through anything but the most exciting-can’t-put-it-down types…so, ** Cræft: An Inquiry Into the Origins and True Meaning of Traditional Crafts.**

I haven’t had much time to read lately…so, I’m not reading anything right now.
The Paper Magician looks good, though…the cover reminds me of The Night Circus for some reason.

I’m mid-way through The Art of Murder by Elaine Viets…
part of the Dead End Job mystery series, which I have thoroughly enjoyed!
I’m afraid this may be the final title, so am dreading finishing it!

I won’t be able to send it out for a while. :frowning_face: Someone in my son’s class is having or has had symptoms of covid. So it’s unconfirmed, but he’s at home learning and we’re supposed to quarantine.

I’m just about to start This Book will Make You Kinder by Henry James Garrett and am listening to the audio version of Wim Hof’s book.

I decided to play with some paper crafting and made two small/simple things, expecting that one wouldn’t work out, but the crafting gods were smiling on me so they will both be being sent out.
I’m aiming to send on Tuesday this coming week.

awww, sorry to hear that – hopefully it will just be a scare

I know that throws a wrench in things, but at least you are all done (unlike your
partner, who is still dithering but has some ideas brewing :slight_smile:
(thanks for the wonderful pinterest board with such a great selection of ideas!)

Just heard today… it was a cold, not covid. The school still has to keep the kids at home as part of protocol, but we’re all good for trick or treating! I’ll be sending out soon. I’d like to send today, but I have a few goals to reach first.

So glad it was a cold and not covid @irid3sc3nt!

I bought my book today, but I’m having second thoughts so I might buy a second book. :joy:

I have some crafty ideas, but nothing has fully stuck yet…
