We were too late for the very organised official one, so starting another - anyone else care to join in?

Go on, go on

lol at "let in"

mazzy, yes - I agree. Think if somebody loves reading enough to be in a book swap group, they will be happy to continue for 2 years

sophiewd · 03/01/2008 17:39

bugger missed it again, let me know in 2 years when you start the next one

Fab idea, I've been in this sort of book club before and it's great to get something through the door that's not a bill or junkmail. Maybe there could be a running list of potential members on MN, so that whenever there are 12 names, another club starts up? Another idea is to have names for each of the clubs, just for fun. Do you include a note book so that everyone can write a brief review? That can be so interesting, though I found it best not to read the comments until I'd read the book myself. Ooooh, I wanna join, but can't, boohoo.

MamaG · 03/01/2008 19:00

GOD the guilt, the guilt

maybe last two, then its a full two years?

OK but this really IS it! sophie & sue - you're in. Please email me your mn name, rl name and addy and book choice.

MamaG

Have re-sent email,As some of my emails don't appear to be getting through to people today, It's very odd!

I don't mind about the size 1 big circle or 2 smaller ones. Whichever is easier for everyone.

Please let me know if you receive the email otherwise I can re-send on my other email address!

leoleo · 03/01/2008 20:33

hi i've emailed you my book title.

My first choice was a hardback - would that be much more postage wise? would anyone mind? If so i have paperback - it was quite hard to choose..

ooo how exciting it'll be like free amazon or something..do i need to get out

MrsWeasley · 03/01/2008 20:35

My first book will be a hard back too. I really wouldnt mind either.

ChirpyGirl · 03/01/2008 20:42

Waah, missed out again!

I am happy to start a new one though, once we get to 12 shall stop and someone else can have a go!

Overe here

leoleo · 03/01/2008 20:56

oh good thanks - i hope this lasts and all the books go round.

thegrowlygus · 03/01/2008 21:22

Like the idea of having a name for each swapping circle - i keep getting confused about which thread I am on. And like the notebook idea!

MamaG · 03/01/2008 23:25

Yes, what shall we be called?

MrsW - I got your email, thank you

MamaG · 03/01/2008 23:27
