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.

Right my list of swappers are so far:

Kipper22
Bumbleweed
Franny&Zoey
Welshboris
Beety
Wembley
Dewmeadow
Nikkie
WWB
Katyrocks
Fullmoonfiend
Frodofitz
Peachyclair

However I do not have postal addresses for you all so can u send em to [email protected] and include your mn nick name because I am not just on Book swaps or arts swaps. I will publish a new list of people tomorrow, but on Saturday I will only include those people who have given me an adress otherwise we will be here forever Grin and we need to read books.

Thanks girls

Sorry I think I may have worded that wrongly, I am doing tons of swaps in Arts & crafts at the moment so am having lots of cats. I really need to know that you are the book swap Grin

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 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!!!

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}
