mmm, i have just been looking at some of the other threads and wondering if it would be possible to join one, so... yes please, I am up for this. sounds like good fun and very interesting!

how many people do we (ideally) need?

iwanttobelola · 23/07/2010 21:49

hello alittlebitshy !! theres two of us!! I think there were ten in the last one I was in ... we posted a book on every 4 weeks to the next on the list and it worked pretty well ..tried to do reviews but then a few spoilers happened so not sure how we work that ..any ideas welcome!!..I'm quite happy to do the admin of addresses etc but we need name too?? and some ground rules on any exclusions on type of books ...'mis-lit' for eg? or maybe have a theme ..not sure as you can tell! what do you reckon ?

i think no mis-lit is a good idea.

hmm... anyone else ?

kayah · 27/07/2010 23:55

Would love to join you too.

alittlebitshy · 28/07/2010 17:03

yay 3!

allstarsprincess · 28/07/2010 17:08

Can I join?

geekygiraffe · 28/07/2010 21:44

I'd love to join too : )

alittlebitshy · 29/07/2010 15:18

ooh ooh. up to 5 now!

so while we wait to see who else comes shall we have a chat about what NOT to read etc?

How exciting!

iwanttobelola are you still happy to co-ordinate? I don't think i have a good enough grasp of how this works yet.

BuzzingNoise · 29/07/2010 15:19

I'd like to join please.

SOmeone tell me what mis-lit is though!

alittlebitshy · 29/07/2010 18:43

I only just found that out buzzingnoise. It is thinks like whatshisname - dave pelzer and his memoirs of childhood abuse etc.

BuzzingNoise · 29/07/2010 18:47

oh right - that's fine by me

geekygiraffe · 29/07/2010 19:41

me too, really not into mis-lit. Or sci-fi. Or Dan Brown and his ilk. Am easy otherwise ; 0

alittlebitshy · 30/07/2010 11:02

Phew, am not a sc-fi girl either.

kayah · 03/08/2010 15:09

sc-fi isnot for me
read 3 or 4 of mis-lit and I think is enough for now

PassMeTheKleenex · 17/08/2010 11:09

Are you still looking for more members? I would like to join.
Happy to miss out mis-lit/sci fi.
Will admit to being partial to Jilly Cooper every now and again Grin but otherwise have fairly broad tastes.

Checking out some of the other groups, they also appear to post a bar of chocolate with their book. That sounds like a GREAT idea!

meala · 18/08/2010 20:15

Am I too late to join? It sounds like loads of fun Grin

GenghisKat · 18/08/2010 20:30

If you are looking for more members I would love to join.

Like the books posted with the chocolates idea!

Haven't read any mis-lit and probably would prefer to leave it that way. Otherwise am ok with most other genres

BuzzingNoise · 18/08/2010 20:33

I hope this is still going to happen.

Jaybird37 · 19/08/2010 18:14

Can I join too please?

I am not interested in mis-lit but otherwise flexible.

cuddlysmurf · 25/08/2010 21:50

If this is still open, me too!!!!

Seems no-one likes mis-lit, me included; oh, and getting a bit fed up with the hoardes of Dan Brown clones.

sofisen · 31/08/2010 21:50

Can I join too if there is still place for one other

SkylineDrifter · 02/09/2010 11:16

I'd like to join if there's still space.

newmum13 · 08/09/2010 12:36

Me too, if it's not too late. I am an avid reader (time permitting). Pick me, pick me!!!

alittlebitshy · 16/09/2010 20:40

this fell off my list.
so what next? anyone know what they are doing and want to co-ordinate?

chocoholic · 21/09/2010 21:01

Me too, can I join please. No idea how it works but happy to post books and chocolate!! Grin
