Hi there - As far as i can see on the message boards, all the swap clubs already have all their members. I'd love to start a new one!
Anyone out there interested in joining me?

Sounds like fun. How does it work?

tvaerialmagpiebin · 30/07/2009 18:57

Yes I'd like to join one, don't usually get in quick enough....

swift220 · 30/07/2009 20:52

Hi I am new but would love to join

MamaKaty · 31/07/2009 10:45

Basically:

12 people sign up, each person choose a book

On a set date in the month you send your book to the person in the list after you

Over 12 months you'll receive 11 books (as well as sending one) and we can talk about them together on here as we read them.

We'll stick to paperbacks to keep postage costs down.

So far we have
MamaKaty
Waitingforgodot
lankyalto
swift220

Once we have 12 names, everyone could email me their address and I'll co-ordinate.
Start thinking about what your book choice is going to be!!

hello! me please
As long as you are not all mislit fans. Can't abide all those ''Daddy, why did you beat me'' books

MamaKaty · 31/07/2009 12:09

I'm definately not into misery lit either
If it was just up to me I'd say:
NO misery memoirs
NO sci-fi
and no crime, unless it's something that is a bit outside the box

Another place down, 7 to go - I can't wait to get started!

ME ME ME!! I am an avid reader!

But...err...what is MisLit?? Is it as it sounds? Misery literature??

How about chick lit? I LURRRVVEE chick lit since having my dd.

MamaKaty · 05/08/2009 16:50

Getting there slowly... still need another 4 members please!!

Mislit = all those memoirs of terrible childhoods, forced prostitution, etc type stories

And don't know how everyone else feels about chick lit but I don't mind the odd bit of light reading now and again - hopefully everyone will pick books from different genres and we'll all get a chance to read books we mightn't usually!
