We were too late for the very organised official one, so starting another - anyone else care to join in?

Go on, go on

Can i join please?

I'm interested - but what kind of stuff do you all like to read? Would hate to think that my lowbrow tastes would be rejected by others!

Hi
I'm interested.
What happens if we all (or even a few of us)like the same book?

thegrowlygus · 03/01/2008 08:47

Yep - I'm interested. Am slightly rubbish at posting but will do my best! (am better when it is being depended on!)

Vacua · 03/01/2008 08:43

I think I'm interested but am I reading 3) correctly? Please only say you are interested if you are hopeless at sending stuff?

'twould be brill if you could mama g, as I am supposed to be doing lots of work in the next few days and I do not need any diversionary devices/excuses. If you really don't mind that is.

And yes, Mrs W bump away or we shall be getting very tired of each others literary choices.....

This is how it works:[copyright DDIBI]

You choose a book you really enjoyed reading and forward it to the next mumsnetter on the list.

Then, on a given date each month 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
