Book Rays and Rings

BOOK RINGS AND RAYS I'M RUNNING:

These books have completed their rings or rays, set up by me

These rings or rays have unfortunately stalled. If you can help by providing another copy, I'd be thrilled and of course send you a trade in return!

Bad Faith copy 2 (8) (lost on its way to the last reader), Bloody Foreigners (10) (lost with the third reader), Butter Chicken in Ludhiana (16) (lost in the post), Chasing Angels (lost in the post no-one's fault), Londonstani (lost in the post, no-one's fault), Makes Me Wanna Holler (4) (stalled with the third reader), Plain Tales from the Raj (stalled with the second reader), The Inscrutable Americans (stalled with the ninth reader) (kindly replaced by this)

These books are still out and about at the moment (number of ring members in brackets): (please note that I reserve the right to not allow people to join my rings and rays if they have not followed ring etiquette in the past)

Please Note: I do try not to be a book-keeper but to pass them on after reading. However, some books I have acquired because I can't get them in the UK or they are out of print and they are by favourite authors. These I will keep - but I must stress that I am more than happy to loan them or Ring them as long as I get them back eventually!
