Hi I have started another thread as the old one took ages to sort out. Right as far as I am concerned our newest member is Mars. Katy, I am not sure if you have added any more???

I agree with bresha - if I don't enjoy one of the books I'm not going to force myself to read it. I read for enjoyment, not for punishment! I forced myself to finish the first book so that I could start a review page off, but I won't do it again if I find I'm not enjoying another of the books.

FillyjonktheFluffy · 15/06/2006 19:17

psssst, trin, come over here and we'll start our own, much better, book swapping circle...

bresha · 15/06/2006 19:18

PanicPants- iv finished the portable door, loved it, read it in 2 days. very easy to read,
i was looking forward to reading the next one, but sounds as if its not as good

sniffsniff, Am I not god nough for this one?

trinityrhino · 15/06/2006 19:21

that would be good enough

WigWamBam · 15/06/2006 19:27

It's just that this swap is already really big, it's going to take almost a year for the books to come back as it is. There are several people who asked to be added after the swap had started, and it was suggested that maybe it would be better to have a second swap running than to try and fit them all into the one that's already running.

FillyjonktheFluffy · 15/06/2006 19:28

come on, trin, lets go and sort our own one out.

we can do better books.

only people who read good books can join our book swapping circle

FillyjonktheFluffy · 15/06/2006 19:33

well its better than the pleasent reception I got last night, trinity.

They probably like you

(and when people ask to join we'll say "oh, yes please, that'd be lovely, here have a scone and jam"

FillyjonktheFluffy · 15/06/2006 19:54

ok seriously, I'd like to join a book swop and I don't mind organising the second circle swop providing its as easy as UCM claims Wink.

Can someone talk to me about this, please? Please?

bresha · 15/06/2006 19:56

i will talk to you FillyjonktheFluffy
wht you need to know

Whizzz · 15/06/2006 19:59

I'd join a second group if its not too taxing. I assume read a book, post it to someone else & get another book back etc etc

FillyjonktheFluffy · 15/06/2006 20:00

ok

Take it the admin is as UCM has suggested? Get everyone to mail rl address to me then arrange it geograpahically? Do we need to have any consensus on likes/dislikes or is that part of the fun?

And do you want to split your group, or shall we just advertise? Could split by genre preferance, maybe?

And what do we call ourselves, do you reckon? The Other Book Swap?

bresha · 15/06/2006 20:00

FillyjonktheFluffy
start a new thread for book swap newbie’s

FillyjonktheFluffy · 15/06/2006 20:01

Although you could be the Meany Swappers I suppose Wink

PanicPants · 15/06/2006 20:04

Hey, could you join the new book swop and still be part of the old one? That way I'd get more books to read!!!!!!

FillyjonktheFluffy · 15/06/2006 20:06

yes. you can join our bookswap, pp, and furthermore you can have a scone.

PanicPants · 15/06/2006 20:08

With cream?

bresha · 15/06/2006 20:12

can i join 2, do i get a scone as well

FillyjonktheFluffy · 15/06/2006 20:20

scones for all tonight.

have started a new thread

FillyjonktheFluffy · 15/06/2006 20:20

proper clotted cream, no expense spared

FrannyandZooey · 15/06/2006 20:20

Trinity, I did answer you - I said that I thought there would have to be a second swapping circle. The people who were posting here today are not the people running the swop, so we are not in charge of deciding whether or not you can join. God, these rhinos, they're so.....thin-skinned :)

UCM · 16/06/2006 08:14

Bonkers book swap would be good considering you are all bonkersGrin
