OK since there is enough interest (Whee!) for this one I'm (finally) opening sign up thread.
For those who aren't familiar with this type of swaps (i.e. with Asian Swap) book you're offering should be written by African author and/or related with Africa. There are no genre restrictions and considering there is an enormous literary diversity in themes, genres, history, mythology, etc I'm sure there will be no problem to find a book for this one.
Swap begins 12th Dec with usual 12 hours rule.

Folks this will be amazing swap, you don't wanna miss it :rolleyes:

Can I play please? :whee:

Candy you were already on the list :lol:

I've added on the list everyone who expressed interest to play in the first thread and I just PMed/asked everyone to confirm they still want to play :rolleyes:

I'm confirming, but with the caveat that I'm a bit behind on owed TBRs right now, and am going to offer a TBR here, so you may not see your book until January or early February. If that's a problem, I can just watch this round and come back when I'm more current...

Confirming. ALthough as said before, if I happen to be in Macau those few days I won't have computer access and will have to bow out. Otherwise, I look forward to playing an African Swap in Asia!!!

I'm confirming! Thanks for organizing, zzz. :D

Confirming

Confirming and I have my book read already. :yahoo:

Confirming! I'm even almost done with my book. :lol:

Confirming! I have a book picked out. :wave:

I'm in! I'll be out of town for a few days in there, but unless my friends are having internet difficulties I should be able to check in.

Please keep me on as a maybe.
I'll definitely play if I can find a good offering somewhere in the house.

I did look but couldn't see myself - doh!!

Please add me to the list. I'll need to find a book, but that's a good excuse for a trip to the store, right?

I would like to play please.

Lovely! More players :whee:

(msjoanna - TBRs are perfect of course
elsi - swap is always best reason for book-shopping!)

Okay it looks like there is a very very good chance I will be able to play. :bananadance:
I haven't decided on which book to use though. When I started looking I realize I do have a lot of choice!!

Ok, I just can't resist and as I have a suitable book so there is no reason to say no...

Please add me... :D

Welcome on board cat!
Azuki - that's a great news!
:whee:

Good news, I've seized hold of my wandering attention span long enough to finally confirm. Think I've got a good TBR for this one! (This Christmas, I'll give myself the gift of a big pile of books I owe to people. Wooo! On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me a pile of owed books as tall as meeee! Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating...)

But yeah, I'm definitely in (if not "all there"). :lol:

YOL :santa: visited you little early this year! :lol:

I would like to play please?


Thanks

Welcome :rolleyes:

There's still time to join...

Ok, I'm in.

I found something good to offer :)

fabulous!
I'll randomize list and create thread tomorrow evening which means there's still time to join :)

Yay! It's 11 Dec 10am in Hong Kong already!!! Okay, I guess we should go by African time... So I will check back later today (more likely tonight) and send out my reveal in the meantime.

Now does your tomorrow evening mean my Thursday afternoon? :giggle:

No, that means in next hour.
I'm starting to work on logo etc and will post the threads in an hour.
This is last train to jump in before randomizing...

Wooo - hoooo! :bananadance:

Stupid African girls. :rant: :whistle: :lol:

is that means you're up to some mud wrestling with (don't know about stupid but for sure) strong African girls???

I rather mud wrestle with a guy. :whistle:

Folks I used "k" instead of "c" in Afrikan Swap with intention. Namely it's because of Afrikaans language and because in my mother tongue it's Afrika and since I'm the host!

Also please try to avoid stealing your own book (unless someone get really stuck with your reveal) and especially self-revealing!
I hope I'm not stepping on someone's toes :erm:

Well that's the prize!

:D ZZZ - I'm off to the post office this afternoon (if all goes well).

If you PM me your address, I'll send along The Mango Season and A Thousand Splendid Suns.

I sent my reveal out to a few people ;)

Ok I prepared everything and will post threads before I go out.
Will also send my reveal info to a few people (look my sig)
