New Book Swap Members Needed

[Wheelybug]

The Fur Quits book swap has just completed a year and are about to embark on another round. Some people have had to drop out this round so we'd like 5 new people please !

Let us know here if you'd like to join us - CAT me or I can CAT you !

How it work s-

We all choose one book
On the 1st Sept we'll post that book to the next person on the list
On the 1st of each month you pass on the book you've had that month

Books must be under an inch thick to help speed of reading and cost of postage !

i would like to join! I'll send you a CAT in a mo. any preferences/guidelines on genre or does it not matter?

Me! Would love to, but have to figure out CAT - can I save my place if it turns out I'm hopeless at techie stuff?!

me too. you have to pay a small registration fee to be able to CAT anyone as i've just discovered. click on contact poster above and it should take you thru the secure payment etc.

Great Saladbomb and Itsatigger - consider yourself 'in'. Happy to CAT you if you can't work it out (think I have to pay my subs too as they have run out but I can do that if nec !).

As for genre I think last year we just said no chick lit and no mislit (tales of childhood abuse etc).

thanks Wheelybug, i've sent you one, don't mind the small sub fee, reckon i've already had my moneys worth already :D

i've noticed that you don't give the title and author in the discussion, is that so you don't just get a random load of people commenting or something to do with advertising rules?

might be a good idea to email or CAT us both last years list at some point just so we don't accidentally pick a book already read by you all. I know its a long shot that that would happen but stranger things have!

Hi Saladbomb - good idea about the list - I will include it when I email you back ! I haven't had your email yet but I know it has to manually be forwarded on and can take a while at weekends.

We don't include title/author in the book title because the choices are all kept as a secret until you receive the book ! However, if you're rubbish at waiting like me you can sometimes work out the book

ahhh that makes sense and is a really good idea, would much rather have a surprise, otherwise i'd probably end up ruining it by reading a synopsis on wiki or amazon.

wheely fyi - cathcat's TO arrived with me yesterday. have started already so will post to you asap once finished.

Bump - still 3 places going on the book swap !

Thanks Swissmiss.

I still haven't received any CATs....

HI.
I'd like to join please. I was in the second chapter circle, but this years has not run very well and I think I can manage two at the same time if it does restart....

I have no CAT at the moment but will look into it if no-one can contact me.

Jas - I have sent you a CAT ! Welcome aboard...

Saladbomb - I have CATTed you too !

Itsatiggerday - I can't CAT you as you are set to not receive them. Let me know if you change this and i can CAT you.

I think we now only have 1 space left as i've had a CAT (got yours too saladbomb and replied).

So, Anymore takers ?

Sorry Wheelybug, got waylaid by a drawing incident and forgot to come back. I've changed my CAT status but can't do a CAT till DH gets home as he ran off with my wallet in the car this morning. Does that mean you can get to me anyway? If not, I'll do it tonight. Thx.

CAT sent Tigger

Thanks for everyone's emails.

Not had anything yet - will it come somewhere on my mumsnet or by email? Or am I just being impatient?

Bump for the evening crowd to find one last person to join our gang !

just replied to your message Tigger

I tend to finish books within 24 hours

but would love a book arriving each month, so yes please!

Oh, I think you have your 5 now.
Can I sit on the reserve bench?

Excellent Disenchanted - that's just the person we need. Means the books will get sent on quickly !!

Not sure if you've CAT me but I will CAT you now just to make sure but ignore it if you already have.

Sorry Kleenex - I will CAT you if anyone decides to drop out I promise !

Actually Disenchanted I can't CAT you as you're set to not receive them so either send me a CAT or change your profile so I can CAT you !

Oooh great!

have sent you my email x
