When I saw this thread, I did go a little bit cold .. have I actually read ANY of my Swaps yet ??
I know I've only done few Swaps, and these were mostly last Autumn when I joined. I also knew that I haven't started my Inspector Montalbano set I got as a Swap .. so I've had a little look, and Phew !! I've actually read my Oldest 4 ..
I hope to plan my sojourn to Sicily for next year ..  |

You're doing great then, Suzanne! I've read a lot of mine, but there are some that have languished for a while. I'm up to June 2012 ...

Just a reminder, if anyone thinks they might ever want to join in with this challenge to slowly read all one's unread swaps starting with the oldest, now is the time to go to your Completed Swaps in RiSi old site and copy & paste them all into a Word document or spreadsheet!

Still plugging away with this one. It's taken me 6 months to get around to reading Memories of Rain by Sunetra Gupta but I eventually did it. 4 stars, although it was a stream of consciousness narrative that required a lot of concentration.
My next oldest swap is:...... (can't find my list at the moment - now where did I file that?)

Found my list! And my next oldest swap will be Stone Cold by Robert Swindells. This swap is from June 2012, and it's a thin "Puffin teenage fiction" so it shouldn't take long ... ha.

So, four months later I have finished Stone Cold.
Next unread swap will be Felicia's Journey by William Trevor.

Well, I am still plugging on with this challenge, though it tends to get constantly overtaken by other more interesting challenges! I've now finished Felicia's Journey which was brilliant! Not the grim or difficult read I was expecting, although one of the characters is creepy. My next unread swap is The Unseen by Katherine Webb. Watch this space in about 6 months ...  |

Well Done Rosemary, rosemary3 .. At least you've read a couple .. I've not even started one Montalbano book yet .. My excuse is that I put them away in a box as I didn't have enough shelf space ..   Now I have two new bookcases, the Series has been brought into the light .. Next year !!  |

It was a bit more than 6 months ... I read The Unseen in October, and then A Perfectly Good Man this month.
My next swap now is Arthur & George by Julian Barnes. This is a swap from July 2015.
