Book swap

265 replies

UCM · 07/05/2006 00:16

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.

UCM you sound like you have patience of a saint organising all this..is it stressing you out? I couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery at the moment and i think i'm one of the most organised people i know, so your doing very well!

Tell me again, just to add to your stress, ihave e-mailed my details but i didn't include any book information. Will i send a book to you and you will post on? [smile}

nikkie · 19/05/2006 19:39

No Bresha, it's fine, just email your details to me on [email protected]. Please make sure you add your name & address, YOUR MN NICKNAME, and the book you are going to put in the swap.

I am putting in a very light read, but thrilling in case anyone is worried about putting something 'in which makes you look like you read intelligent books'. We are all different and read/like different books.

I am going to make an effort to read every single one, even if I don't like them much to begin with.

This will be a mind opener for all methinks!!!

Right did everyone recieve my email called MAX121 apart from Panicpants who is now on list stating that in order to have a book swap we actually need to exchange addresses Grin & sorry but am in middle of washing down kitchen walls so am in not very good mood.

Cos I is sending out tomorrow night and this will be it.

Don't worry about the last 5 books, when you have decided which book to post, pls tell me what it is so I can make sure that there are no duplicates. By tomorrow afternoon please.

Anyone else wanting to join, please do so this evening....

No probs, didn't think i would be able to pick up a book in this stage of pregnancy...have managed to pass my driving test and sit a 3 hour exam but had to leave the political mags i get behind...i just couldn't cope with them. Then i went on holiday last week and bought one of the few English books cos i was bored and really got into it...always been a reader so my hubby was surprised when i said i wasn't reading at the moment...i think i was just being lazy but easy on the brain books are welcome!!!

PanicPants · 18/05/2006 20:22

Thanks frodofitz, have done so, and am looking forward to getting lots of different books to read. I read anything from chick lit to thrillers so I'm easily pleased :)

frodofitz · 18/05/2006 19:59

I have some CATS but I don't know who they are from cos' there isn't a nickname.

As for the book you swap, I am going to pick a book that I really enjoyed and couldn't put down, it doesn't have to be heavy literature, but I will attempt to read everything I get.

Mine will be a thriller/crime novel from a relatively new author, which I found enthrallingSmile
