Right so I only have four addresses so far. These are from;
clairethewitch70
mailfuckoff
BigPinkOrchid
WhyIsARavenLikeAWritingDesk

Please let me know if you have sent me an address and your name is not here as it means it has gotten lost somewhere.

Ok so can everyone else that wants to join in please send me your addresses ASAP as I was hoping to organise it tomorrow evening and then Tuesday/Wednesday we do deliveries.

Things I need as well as address

  • Initials of book title and author
  • Any allergy or chocolate/treats preference


As I have mentioned in the last thread I will be setting up a monthly sign in thread that everyone needs to post in before the books get sent on. Don't worry, I will remind you if you forget.

I think the general consensus was that we would be having as little censorship as possible so you can send pretty much anything you want apart from abuse memoirs which can be very triggering/upsetting for some people.

A reminder of how it will work:
  • I collect all addresses and other info
  • I give everyone one person/address to send your own book to.
  • About 3 and 1/2 weeks later I will open up the sign in thread for you to respond to.
  • Couple of days later if all goes well and we haven't lost anyone we will send the book we received onto your allocated person/address.
  • If we lose people along the way then I will give you direction on where to send books to.
  • When sending books on we will also send a small amount of chocolate or other requested treat up to a value of £2.50
  • We can then set up threads for each book and discuss them.


Okay, sorry for the long post. I just wanted to collate all of the ideas into one. So let's get the addresses in and we can start the fun!

Thanks,
Jorly!

Received my book from JorlyWood Looks interesting, not something I would normally pick up but it looks good - have you read it? What do we do about discussing books - do we start a thread on each book?

Report
JorlyWood · 24/11/2017 20:45

Yeah it is a great book. I will start a new thread for everyone's books and then we can discuss them separately. I guess try to be as vague as possible when discussing it just in case someone clicks on the wrong one or even (like me) has no self control then regrets things. Blush

I will keep a track on paper and let everyone know who's book they are receiving every month.

Thank you! Afraid my copy won't be arriving until tomorrow, so I'll pop it in the post as soon as possible after that. So sorry about the delay.

Is it possible to have an extension over Christmas?!

myusernameisnotmyusername · 29/11/2017 12:51

When do we have to send them on again?
