Anyone fancy joining me in a new swap club?

I love reading and now that DS can entertain himself for a while trashing my lounge is 8 mo I am finally getting back into the swing of things. But I always read the same kind of books and so would love to have something different sprung on me!

Here's the basics of how it works (thank you Flamesparrow)

How it works

[ Arti sits back and waits for the flood of recruits, hoping that she doesn't end up looking like a no-mates...]

I would love to get involved. DD2 is now 4 months old so still not getting much free time during the day but once they are all in bed...

Count me in (although I am away for nearly a fortnight from Sunday so hopefully you won't get started before I get home!!!)

Hi Arti, haven't been on the sleep or puree threads for a while so haven't 'seen' you around. How are you? BTW, if you were the friend you remind me of (she writes in a very similar way, and is an arty farty type in RL!) you'd know who I was for sure! God, that will sound so weird to everyone else won't it?

Ok -disclaimer- I'm not a stalking freak, and would like to join in! grin
Can I join in, pls - am quite open minded, but never choose chick lit off my own bat, if that makes sense (mental image of someone batting chicks, which would be animal cruelty and not nice).
Righto then. So far we have confirmed:

artifarti
aristocat
Dysgu
humptyNdumpty
poshwellies
whinegums (aka my stalker)
stickylittlefingers
MrsMuddle
LolaLadybird
Itsjustafleshwound

Anyone want to talk about banning anything? Chick Lit is already out and can I make a plea for no hardbacks as when I go back to work they will make my commuter's handbag too heavy!
Those awful abuse bio's and I'm not keen on crime/horror either.
Posh wellies - I agree. Wouldn't want anything where anything happened nasty to children (in a nasty salacious way, I think you'll kwim). I can barely watch the news as it is!
wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

looks like we got our club nearly done

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]
For a confused face,  , type [confused]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a no comment face,  , type [biscuit]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
