Book swap

I am thinking that we should do a book swap. You send a book to someone who sends a book to someone and so on. It doesn't matter if you didn't like the book, the next one might please you.

Any takers???????????????????????

I am a fan of Harlan Coben, Denise Ryan and Marian Keyes, Stuart Macbride.

Hello, can I join please?
Do I send my details to UCM? It looks like you have a swap coming up soon, and I have a nearly finished book I could put in ... if I'm not too late?

Thanks.

how do you do a link within Mumsnet? Do you put in the whole address from the address bar?

Glad you liked the book UCM - I was stressed about it ever since I posted it!

Glad to see you back

Waite till the end of the month! That’s ages away! Well if every one hasn’t finish there book yet then we will have to hold off, every one has got to promise to send on time though, otherwise we will have people getting books late again, iv finished mine so I can post any time

PanicPants · 06/06/2006 17:37

Or the 1st of the month.

PanicPants · 06/06/2006 17:36

I'll post on my book by the end of the week, maybe we should say post when your ready but no later than the 15th?

How about deciding on a particular day a month to post books on? (or will 4 weeks be too long for faster readers?)

i.e., How about after this posting we all try and post our books on the last day of the month? That way we won't need to keep remembering different dates.

By the way - I've just got the sequal to Portable Door by Tom Holt out of the library today PeachyClair!

kipper22 · 06/06/2006 14:24

Well I'm ready to pass on whenever but am feeling a little sorry for those who only received books recently. Couldn't we make do with other, short books for one more week then definitely all swap on the 15th? Then stick to the 3 week rule thereafter?

Sorry UCM, I didn't tape the pages in. I looked at the book, pages and sellotape for a long time then decided I would only make things worse! Maybe one of the more careful book swappers will be able to do better?!

Anyway, here's my link - \link{http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk?rn=48228&topicid=1377&threadid=180229&redir=48228\bad moon rising} :)

bresha · 05/06/2006 09:36

kickassangel · 04/06/2006 21:39
