Will send you the email when I do it

EachPeachPearMum · 08/01/2008 22:37

I don't understand how it works (doh)- huh?

FlameNFurter · 08/01/2008 22:41

My chain thing? You send a book to the person at the top of the list, you then add your name as number 2 and the person who sent it to you as number 1.... then forward to 6 people who will participate. They then send to who emailed you, and put your name to the top of the list. the six people you have sent to will send to six, those six of six send to you, resulting in 36 books for the price of one. Obviously if the chain goes tits up you get nothing, but for the price of posting one book it is worth it.

My email is flamesparrow at gmail dot com if you want in

Like a chain letter (those things that tell you you will be cursed if you don't pass them on, and all sensible people put straight in the bin).
You get a list of names and adresses, wih Flame at the bottom. You send a used book to the person on the top of the list and then ake off their name, add yours to the botom and pass it on to 6 book loving friends. When your mname gets to the top of the list, you get books in the post

Step away from the chain letter! Mathematical explanation here of why you just won't end up getting one squillion books

EachPeachPearMum · 08/01/2008 22:51

Ha- what if you don't have 6 book loving friends?

...or is that when we set up mn book swaps

EachPeachPearMum · 08/01/2008 23:04

BTW- should add- Andyrobo- your book arrived this morning, thank you!

FlameNFurter · 09/01/2008 09:36

Why do you think I was asking here? I went with the theory that I know the #1 on the list atm and I like her, so sending her a book wouldn't do any harm anyway even if I get nothing out of it

DontDreamItBeIt · 09/01/2008 10:10

I've got my book

I have read it before, but not that recently, and it is an easy to read one, so I'll read it again.

Received my book. (Imagine Burns from The Simpsons). Inteeerrrresssting.
When Ive finished this, probably by Monday is it O.K. if I loan it to my daughter?

EachPeachPearMum · 09/01/2008 16:34

Can she cope with copious amounts of sobbing?

discoverlife · 09/01/2008 16:36

Ohhh, she would love it then. She is really into real life stories.

mybabysinthegarden · 09/01/2008 21:04

Got mine, thanks dontdream it! I've read one other by him and really liked it so am really looking forward to this one.

blanki · 09/01/2008 21:07

got my book yesterday thankyou, not been able to open it as SO poorly with chest infection. Poor me! Love the idea of receiving a book that is not my choice each month, ooh exciting!

DontDreamItBeIt · 09/01/2008 21:24

Don'tDream breathes a sigh of relief that it isn't instanly rejected as scary

DontDreamItBeIt · 09/01/2008 21:25
