Anyone fancy joining a new book swap?

I was wondering if anyone fancied joining me in a new Book Swap. I was part of one on here for a couple of years that worked really well, then we all got a bit busy and decided to give it a rest. Now no-one on MN seems to do them anymore!

The idea is that you get a small group together (up to about a dozen) of people who enjoy reading similar genres or are prepared to try something new. Everyone then chooses a book they have enjoyed, that’s not really famous or a bestseller. On the first day of each month, you post your book to the next person on the list...and then the same again on the following month. We posted chocolate too last time but that’s not compulsory! The idea is that you get to read books you haven’t heard of, and chat about them if you want to.

Some of the books we ended up reading last time: The Water of the Hills, Cutting for Stone, The Snow Child, On The Black Hill, Prince of Tides, The Weather in the Streets, Any Human Heart, Cat’s Eye, A Month in the Country.

Anyone interested? [worries about tumbleweed blowing over thread as no-one remembers book swaps]

Happy to give it another go

RatOnnaStick · 16/03/2017 11:51

Yay! A book has arrived with some lovely sesame seed chocolateGrinGrin. It's GhostoftheMNChicken's, I shall read it and send it on ASAP.

That's good - but how strange that there was such a gap! Let's hope that wherever the blockage is, it's starting to move again...

Nikitasol · 21/03/2017 05:30

Me!! How do I join?

KeithLeMonde · 22/03/2017 18:29

Ooh, Rat has a book! I'd thought that the circle was completely broken - hoping that whoever has the books is OK Flowers Unless this was all an elaborate scam to collect dogeared copies of old books and sell them at great profit on Ebay Hmm

I enjoyed it while it was working and would definitely be in for another round.

Nikitasol · 22/03/2017 20:01

I'm in! How do I join? Got lots of good reads to swap. Smile

Dont want to speak for arti but I suppose we have to wait til the end of this one and see who wants to keep it going Smile

aristocat · 31/03/2017 08:35

Oh wow! Shocked that a book had arrived but pleased too, I also thought the circle was beyond repair Grin

RufusTheRenegadeReindeer · 06/04/2017 21:00

Ive not had a book yet Sad

mailfuckoff · 06/04/2017 21:02

Booksrock here - I'm two months down so I guess I'm in the dead spot now.

whyIsARavenLikeAWritingDesk · 06/04/2017 21:12

O man I am gutted I missed this thread, I am always up for a new book to read!! Let me know if anyone drops out 😆

RatOnnaStick · 06/04/2017 23:13

I will post mine on this weekend to Fuckynell. I feel so pleased to be able to join in again.

We're not far from the end of this round Raven, but if you come back in a few weeks some of us brave souls might be ready to start another.

aristocat · 09/04/2017 14:23

SadI didn't mean that I have a book ...... just that the circle was still moving[somewhere].

Nothing here since Dec, sadly.
