I'm forever buying books and then being left with piles of the buggers.

The idea of swapping them sounds great!

Where do I sign up?

I want to join one too so let me know if you find one!!

Lexiejack · 22/06/2011 19:04

And me Smile lol

TheMonster · 22/06/2011 19:09

Me too. I never seem to catch one open in time.

coni336 · 22/06/2011 23:24

shall we start one? not sure how it works exactly...

Lexiejack · 23/06/2011 10:44

Maybe if we search through the other threads we can figure it out? I think we need 12 people and choose 1 book each?

GrandmaW · 23/06/2011 11:19

I'd be interested too, please

Lexiejack · 23/06/2011 12:01

So I'm guessing we discuss what books we like? Or should we choose a book from each sort of genre? I don't really like sci-fi Blush

coni336 · 23/06/2011 14:08

ok, yes i agree i don't like sci-fi either, so shall we see if we can get 12 people interested? so far we have 5 if Lorenz is still interested?

TheMonster · 23/06/2011 16:52

Do we have a book each and then send it on each month?
No manky really old books though!

Lexiejack · 23/06/2011 17:18

God no!! Nice clean lovely smelling new books!!!! Grin

coni336 · 23/06/2011 17:21

yes i think from the sounds of things we all choose 3 books, write on here what they are an everyone lets you know if they have read any of them already. I guess we can start looking for 3 options and wait to see if we have any new joiners??

Lexiejack · 23/06/2011 18:27

Do they have to be recently released books?

BadBuddha · 23/06/2011 18:31

Ooh can I join please? I have piles of non manky books I could swap Wink

coni336 · 23/06/2011 19:19

no i don't think they have to be recently released, just whatever you have on your bookshelf. So far the people interested:

Lexiejack
coni336
BodyOfEeyore
Grandma W
BadBuddha
Lorenz

so need 6 more...

GrandmaW · 24/06/2011 07:59

I don't like sci-fi either, or those 'child abuse memoirs' type of books which seem to be around at the moment. I have just got into crime/detective books by a certain author which I would never have read normally, but were recommended to by a friend. Might well make one of those my book club book if that appeals to others.

Lexiejack · 24/06/2011 12:43

I like most books from martina cole to chick lit to random biographies and historical ones.

TheMonster · 26/06/2011 11:07

I'm up for it.

coni336 · 27/06/2011 08:45

ok, so we still need 6 more people to join. Spread the word...!

Lexiejack · 28/06/2011 18:25

Come on people!!! Join us lol

BadBuddha · 29/06/2011 09:15

Bump - there must be other interested readers out there?

Lexiejack · 02/07/2011 22:23

Bump!!!

weedle · 04/07/2011 11:23

We've got a fledgling group starting at the moment. We're just about to start so if your interested PM me and I'll give you the details of our FB group :)

miserrima · 05/07/2011 23:05

I'll join!

coni336 · 06/07/2011 12:38

great, 5 more do you think we should start a new thread asking for people? this one may be a bit misleading. I can put a list of all of us and ask for 5 more peeps. I'll call it 'new book club - july'
