Ohhh, she would love it then. She is really into real life stories.

EachPeachPearMum · 09/01/2008 16:34

Can she cope with copious amounts of sobbing?

discoverlife · 09/01/2008 16:25

I've got my book

I have read it before, but not that recently, and it is an easy to read one, so I'll read it again.

Why do you think I was asking here? I went with the theory that I know the #1 on the list atm and I like her, so sending her a book wouldn't do any harm anyway even if I get nothing out of it

EachPeachPearMum · 08/01/2008 23:04

BTW- should add- Andyrobo- your book arrived this morning, thank you!

EachPeachPearMum · 08/01/2008 22:51

Ha- what if you don't have 6 book loving friends?

...or is that when we set up mn book swaps

Step away from the chain letter! Mathematical explanation here of why you just won't end up getting one squillion books

Like a chain letter (those things that tell you you will be cursed if you don't pass them on, and all sensible people put straight in the bin).
You get a list of names and adresses, wih Flame at the bottom. You send a used book to the person on the top of the list and then ake off their name, add yours to the botom and pass it on to 6 book loving friends. When your mname gets to the top of the list, you get books in the post

My chain thing? You send a book to the person at the top of the list, you then add your name as number 2 and the person who sent it to you as number 1.... then forward to 6 people who will participate. They then send to who emailed you, and put your name to the top of the list. the six people you have sent to will send to six, those six of six send to you, resulting in 36 books for the price of one. Obviously if the chain goes tits up you get nothing, but for the price of posting one book it is worth it.

My email is flamesparrow at gmail dot com if you want in

EachPeachPearMum · 08/01/2008 22:37

I don't understand how it works (doh)- huh?

FlameNFurter · 08/01/2008 22:33

I'm sure someone else mentined that to me before, but I never go it.

FlameNFurter · 08/01/2008 22:30

But I know lots of you

(whilst we're on it... anyone interested in a chainmail thing - you send a book to the person at the top of the list and send it on to 6 other people... you get oodles of books (used) at the end)

I'm keeping the name (I like it too.It has a positive feel) and everyone who knows me is still calling me Jas (That would be you and the FLYladies)

We are doing a book circle.We all put in one book and post it to the person next on the list. We send one a month, and in a year we've all had twelve books.

We are the second chapter because we were all too late to join the first one, and there are two more that were set up after us (I think).
You might find one that is still getting organisedif you look....

A few days ago, someone rashly started a thread saying, shall we start a book circle? and about eight thousand people replied-- I think there are a whole bunch starting now so if you trawl around adult fiction you can probably find one that's looking for people. Each person picks a book and sends it to another person on the list, and after a month that person sends it on and so on.

FlameNFurter · 08/01/2008 22:19

What are you people?? I get the feeling books are being dished out/discussed and I want in next time. I think. You may be doing something completely different.

Jas - pure coincidence, honest guv. Are you keeping that name? I like it. Will it be wrong if you keep it and I still call you Jas?

End of questions (as long as someone responds), if not, tis the start of many
