Are there 11 people around who would like to join a book swap with me?

[TheChilliMoose]

Preferably one where people are happy with chick-lit and the mindless enjoyment that it gives me.

[TheChilliMoose]

Suits me, yes

[LovelyRitaMeterMaid]

Ooh yes I love chick lit

[seeker]

Me - but can some of them not be chick - lit but still low brow?

[TabithaTwitchet]

I'd like to join - how does it work exactly - do we all agree on the books beforehand?

[TheChilliMoose]

Yes, not all chick-lit is fine with me. Hang on, I saw some guidelines earlier, will find them.

[TheChilliMoose]

Here we go, courtesy of FlameSparrow:

1. Get 12 members (one for each month of the year).

1. Decide if you have any banned genres (chick lit/mis lit etc)

1. Decide a date each month you post books.

1. Make the members into a list to show who posts to who (post the the person after you on the list).

1. Exchange addresses (either just the people posting tell their poster, or a sort of mass address giving via email that gets forwarded to everyone/the right person via a co-ordinator).

1. Post book (pref with MN name written in it!)

1. Read, enjoy and comment on that books thread

[TheChilliMoose]

I haven't read any Anna Karenina, nor have I heard of her, but I shall steer clear for you.

So that's five of us. I can't see any reason why we couldn't do it between us. What do you all think?

[Zorayda]

Ooh, I think six would be a far superior number, if you'll have me!

[TheChilliMoose]

Of course

Now, when would people like to send their books?

And would people be happy to email me their addresses and I email them out to the person who needs them? (if that made any sense at all)

[tjacksonpfc]

can i join or is it to late?

[TheChilliMoose]

It's never too late tjackonpfc

I've never done one before, shineon, so I reckon we send a book of our choice (that we have enjoyed) to a designated person.

How does sending your book by this Friday sound, or does anyone want a bit more time?

My email address is [email protected]

Please email me your address with your MN name. I will email you a person to send your book to before Friday.

And I guess we can have more people join up to Friday, so if anyone sees the thread and fancies giving it a go, do join us

[TheChilliMoose]

Oh, and write your MN name inside the book that you have read and are sending. When you get a book to read, add your name to the list. This way we can make sure someone doesn't get the same book twice.

[TabithaTwitchet]

Have e-mailed you

[seeker]

Oh and make sure you don't say on here what book you're sending so it'll be a surprise!

[LovelyRitaMeterMaid]

I have emailed you

[Zorayda]

Just emailed you

[TheChilliMoose]

I've had emails from Tabitha, LovelyRita, Shiney and Seeker.
Zorayda, did you send one?
I'm getting quite excited now

[TheChilliMoose]

I still haven't heard from Zorayda - please try sending it again.
I'll email people tomorrow with the details of where to send. Shineon, I am intregued!

[Zorayda]

Hi there

Just tried sending it again. If that fails, would you mind emailing me, and I'll respond? 'Tis mnzorayda @ hotmail co uk without the spaces and with the dots, iyswim.
