well, the idea is you choose a book you really enjoyed reading and forward it to the next mumsnetter on the list (which I will compile from you lot)
Then, on a given date (once monthly???) you send it on the next person on your list. You will always be sending to the same next person. It will cost you around £1.70 a month to post 2nd class in the UK.
Please only say you're interested if
a) You're a reasonably quick reader (you have 1 month)
b) You are not so precious about your books that you insist you get 'your' book back. Hopefully you will but I cannot gurantee it
3) You are hopeless at sending stuff.
This will only work if you are fairly committed. But it means you will have a new book to read every month for less than £2. You will get a wide range of fiction and may find some new gems
If you send a book in a very scratty condition, it will most, likely fall to bits after it has been round a few people. But if you drop someone's book in a bath or the dog eats it etc, it might be nice if you 'fessed up.
Last time, we had a little review section going of each book in the circle which we prefixed Book Swap.
I will endeavour to coordinate from this end. Unless anyone else wants to (I am crap at coordinating but I loved gettting a new book each month so...
