I'm forever buying books and then being left with piles of the buggers.
The idea of swapping them sounds great!
Where do I sign up?

Maybe if we search through the other threads we can figure it out? I think we need 12 people and choose 1 book each?
I'd be interested too, please

So I'm guessing we discuss what books we like? Or should we choose a book from each sort of genre? I don't really like sci-fi

ok, yes i agree i don't like sci-fi either, so shall we see if we can get 12 people interested? so far we have 5 if Lorenz is still interested?
Do we have a book each and then send it on each month?
No manky really old books though!

Thu 23-Jun-11 17:21:26
yes i think from the sounds of things we all choose 3 books, write on here what they are an everyone lets you know if they have read any of them already. I guess we can start looking for 3 options and wait to see if we have any new joiners??

so need 6 more...
I don't like sci-fi either, or those 'child abuse memoirs' type of books which seem to be around at the moment. I have just got into crime/detective books by a certain author which I would never have read normally, but were recommended to by a friend. Might well make one of those my book club book if that appeals to others.

I like most books from martina cole to chick lit to random biographies and historical ones.
