What a great idea, this!

New winner chosen:

zzz! :yahoo:

I'll send Snow Flower and the Secret Fan after I read it! :)

Krin,
I just read that book in order to pass it onto someone on BO as well. It's a great book, similar to Memoirs of a Geisha, but different enough to let you think of it as a different book.

i'd like to join as well :)

my choice is 'Tall, Dark and Dead' (Tate Hallaway) please!

Lexie

Well, it's five months later, and now that I've mailed Snow Flower and a Secret Fan to zzz, it's time for a new winner:

:boogie: :dance2: :dance:

HoserLauren!!!!

I will read and send you Night Watch by Terry Pratchett. If you'd like a different book, please let me know.

Hey . So this is still going Krin?
are you accepting new players?

If so.
I have my eye set on.

Blood Legacy a true crime book.
Body Dump (also true crime)
Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea (which I am going to add to my wish list thanks to you.

Hi Marlene! Yes, it's still going and new players are welcome! :grin:

Thanks for joining! :hug:

Krin! I have to change my books :giggle: I have come into possession of both Snow Flower and the Secret Fan (courtesy of VeganMedusa-- thanks again!) and The Great Gatsby

Sooooo... luckily you've added more TBRs since I signed up last year :lol: Here are my new selections for you to choose from if I get drawn, if I'm allowed to change my requests!

One Day the Ice Will Reveal All Its Dead
Middlesex
The Voyage
The Lobster Chronicles: Life of a Very Small Island
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
Valiant: a Modern Tale of Faerie
Mister Monday

Thanks again, I think this is such a fun way of moving through TBRs! I think I'll do one of these, myself, in the summertime when I'm done with all my school reading :lol: and have had a chance to catch up on bookrings. :grin:

(edit Feb 6: removed Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norell from the list -- I bought it today!)

I would like to join. Here are my picks:


Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt
Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach


thanks!!!!! :D Justine aka Booksforever

yes I would love to do one of these one day, but I can't be as generous as some of you guys. :unsure:

I would love to start one like this.
It is so much fun for the people that join but also for the host I think cause they can see which books are most wanted and such.
Maybe just pick 1 or 2 winners so it is affordable?

Or play in a few less swaps? save some money.

One day. I will!!!

Welcome Booksforever! :wave: Glad you joined. Feel free to pick more books if you'd like since the only one I have from your list is Running With Scissors.

And yes, GateGypsy, you can change your list - I'm glad you did! :)

I'm going to toss my name in the hat for one of the following:

Top Dog
Tall, Dark and Dead
The Murder at Hazelmoor

Thank you Krin!! :hug:

Hello! I'd like to recommend:
Nathaniel's Nutmeg by Giles Milton (I read a different history book by him and it was very good!)
(Also, I read Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close last year, it was quite unique. Similar in style to Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime.)

Thanks for the recommendations! Would you like to join the raffle for either of these books or other books?

I'd like to throw my name in for:

The Probably Future
Ursula Under
Valiant: A Modern Tale of Faerie

Thanks!

I think I've joined every one of these, lol. Is that bad??

I'd like to put my name in for:

Sleepers by Lorenzo Carcaterra
Crazy Hot by Tara Janzen

Thanks for offering!

I have as well...but as my luck is the opposite of good in regards to these sorts of things at the moment I am trying to balance the scales by acquiring wishlist books to Rabck to unsuspecting folks...

Can you choose a book that someone else has already chosen? Is it just books from your TBR or your AVL too?
thanks! (can you tell I'm new to this?) :D

Sure. I'll enter for any of your Agatha Christie novels (or similar). Thanks! :D

Hi! :) Go ahead and choose any TBR book, even if it's already chosen. If I pull your name, and the book(s) you want are gone, I'll ask you to choose something else.

Hi! I just finished Night Watch which morsie will give to HoserLauren, so it's time to pick a new winner:

<drumroll>

And the winner is....


sejent!!!! :boogie:

I will read and send you Probable Future - unless you want a different book.

Congratulations!!!!

</drumroll>
