I am spending far too much time on the PC and not enough time reading.

All the current book groups are full.

Anyone fancy starting our own. Please leave message on this thread and I will attempt to get one started.

Look forward to reading lots of lovely books that I normally wouldn't think to read.

Cheers

Bafana

I would love to.

I don't post on mn much any more but have done two complete years with the second chapter circle, and read lots of books I wouldn't have chosen.

I am really missing my book fix, and am a reliable reader/poster of books.

Thanks,
jas

I've also been missing my book fix recently and would love to join in.

The only thing is that I'm in Austria - I'm not sure whether this would make posting too expensive (for the others in the group I mean). I will be back in the UK in July and August, though.

I have also been trying to declutter recently and have got rid of quite a few books, but I hope I'll still have at least one book that everyone would like to read and hasn't already!

Have just had a thought - if anyone did find it too expensive to post to Austria, I could always give my parents' address and they could then post books on to me here.

I'd be interested I've always thought it sounded fun,but i am a bit confused on details

That link explains it quite well.
Once there are about 12 of us, we sort ourselves out so we each have the address of the next person in the circle. Then, on the 1st (or whenever we agree on) of each month, we all post a book. We read it, discuss if we want, and then a month later, post that book on to the same person. If it all works, then in 12 months we will all have read all 12 books.
