Received a letter this am about a paperback book swap idea.

Basic principle is 2 names on the list you receive you send a read paperback to first name. Send copy of letter to 6 friends with 2nd name in first place and your name in 2nd place.

Theory being if everyone plays you receive a load of paperback books - many you probably wouldn't have considered reading.

Anyone interested in joining in ?

PM me and I'll give you more details.

T.O.R. ;o))

p.s. not around for much longer tonite so might be tomorrow before I get back to you.

The amount I spend on books I personally think the book swap is a good idea.

We have just cleared out our books and given to charity, friends, and sister- in- law.

I am still left with a full shelf of unread books.

Must admit, it is a good idea though.

I would love to do something like this, just one problem...I get very attached to my books and wouldn't be able to bring myself to pass them on lol. Which is why my shelves are full. lol
