April 2007 - the book swap thread

[liath]

OK....

I have on offer:

The other Boleyn girl by Phillipa Gregory
Fruit of the Lemon by Andrea Levy
Chernobyl Strawberries by Vesna Goldsworthy
Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimanda Ngozi Adiche

If anyone has a copy of Maia by Richard Adams I'd be interested as my copy is trashed & I think it's out of print now.

Great thread liath!!!

Not had time to dig out swaps just yet but will be following x

Great idea.

[elkiedee]

[Pinions]

OK I'm afraid I don't have any intellectual type books ! but here we go, if anyones interested. I am looking for any diet/recipes/health and diet and GI recipes and also any pre-school educational books,pre-school development books,and "being a mum" type books, any of the above welcome!! Any offer welcome really, except I don't get on with fiction. Going away shortly but will check emails/offers when back xxx

Toddler Taming - Dr Christopher Green - (Excellent Book)

How to Find the Work you Love - Laurence g Bolt

The Fat Ladies Club, Facing the First Five years - Various (Not about fat ladies as such, about four women and their trials and tribulations about bringing up their LO's in the first five years, good read)

The Working Mothers Survival Guide - Jill Black. Excellent book for those returing to work.


All books in very good condition and have been read

I knew I forgot some..also,


How Not to be a Perfect Mother - Libby Purves
"In this classic battle manual for mothers of 0-3 yr olds LP shamelessly describes how to cut corners and bend the rules that never much mattered anyway".

Chicken Soup for the Womens Soul - 101 heartwarming stories, 33 million copies sold, good read with a cuppa in the morning!

[Pinions]

Just one last thought, how about setting one "big" book swap thread for the whole of MN, not too sure of the ins and outs, perhaps could sort of post feedback as soon as book received etc? Would be a lot more "swapping" !!

[elkiedee]

The Inheritance of Loss is by Kiran Desai - I've just bought it a couple of months after it came out in paperback, but need to read it myself. Some time.

[elkiedee]

Pinions, yes, it might be an idea. Also, there's an area called Book Clubs. It might be good to get people involved with different ages of children, as there might be some who are finding a bit more time to read again.

[CaptainDippy]

Any chance I could borrow it Elkie? Could post it back to you as soon as I am finished.
