Anyone fancy joining me in a new swap club?

I love reading and now that DS can entertain himself for a while trashing my lounge is 8 mo I am finally getting back into the swing of things. But I always read the same kind of books and so would love to have something different sprung on me!

Here's the basics of how it works (thank you Flamesparrow)

How it works

Yes, me too, I always read more over Christmas... but if others feel it's preferable to have a break, fine by me

Maybe it is just me but I read far more over xmas as I don't have to go to work grin
I was just wondering - next month is going to be so busy with Christmas and everything else, I was just wondering what everyone will think if we have a month break to catch up?

Good idea about the favourite book ...
Surely it has to be chocolate for the prize - everyone has to post a bar - 13 bars, yumyum!

Hoping to start my book today. Back to 5.20am starts here, so everything is vveeerrrrryyyy slow...

It ought to be a book token really, didn't it? Jeez, I haven't seen a book token since I left school - probably they're all virtual and put on to your mobile or something (I was amazed by a poster this morning that said you can get bus tickets to put on your mobile. I'm feeling very old)

Or perhaps a REALLY BIG bar of chocolate!

fantastic idea to vote for our favourite book,

Good idea re: voting for favourite book, Muddleduck. I have one in mind but with so many to go, that could easily change smile

oh and btw, my mum asked me to buy her books for xmas and I've just ordered her two of the ones I've read on here!

I would tell you which ones but obviously I can't grin

Hi.
I'm half way though my current read and I'm loving it!

Can we have a recap on the order of the books - I still haven't posted on the last two months and now can't remember whose books they were. I know that i've got whinegum's now, but what came before them?

I loved last months btw.

Can we have a "favourite book" vote at the end of the cycle?

I'd tell you who my current favourite is, but of course I have no idea whose book that was grin

tis a mystery how I manage to hold down a job with such a shambles for a brain grin

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]
For a no comment face,  , type [biscuit]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
