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.

Give me a list of what you have when you email and I will try to make sure that no on gets a duplicate of what they have read.

So last 5 books.

Fantastically there are loads of you, I am really pleased cos it sounds like we all love to read.

I just want to make sure that yo are all ok with the giving of each others adresses, because I will send an email with everyones addresses on it.

Is everyone ok with that?

If not, you can send to me & I will send on.

Right (I am so excited)

Hi girls, letting you know I haven't forgotten, just am on an awsomely boring course at the moment with - wait for it, homework......So I will be emailing everyone with details at the weekend. Also is everyone ok with the giving of initial, surname and addresses to all. Or would you prefer your MN nickname. I am sure that it's ok to give your name as I have done on many swaps before on here, but I thought I would check Grin...... now I need some books to read secretly in my cruddy course!!

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

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 20:37

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!!!
