Ah, why not. :D

I know what you mean Pepper. I am staring at my TBR owed pile and wondering if I should add one more to the pile. :shrug:
GateGypsy - January 3, 2008 12:06 AM (GMT)
I'd like to play... but how?
This might work out really well, because one of my TBR books that I've challenged myself to read this year falls under this category...
Erm... so... may I join? What do I do next?

Just pick out a book to "reveal", send the reveal to at least 2 people on opposite sides of the globe (be sure and put "GateGypsy's Swap Reveal" on the subject line) and watch for the Teen/YA Swap post that will appear sometime on the 9th or 10th.
It works pretty much like all the other swaps. I asked that you check-in sometime during the first 24 hours to let us know you are still playing. Here is a link of swap FAQs that might help you if you've never swapped before. Also peek in on some of the ones going on now.
http://home.comcast.net/~mbentz1/swapfaq.htmlLet me know if you have any questions!
Welcome! Glad to have a new player!!

Now to figure out what to add to the pile. :giggle:

:rofl: I'm not even worried about owed TBRs. I'm pretty well okay on that. (Though I do need to read a few BallySwapper books :blush:)
I'm concerned about someone else sending me a book that I then have to count on my "books taken in" count and add to Mount TBR (all TBRs not part of a series that I don't have enough of to read... owed or not) and thinking... is it worth it? :giggle:

I clicked on it....I am a little tipsy...and then realised what the subject line was and quickly closed the browser window. So I didn't see anything !!!! *phew*

I have a book I would love to play with, but I think it is more of a pre-teen read (grade 5-8ish). Is that suitable, or should I wait until I'm reading big girl books? :rolleyes:

I'd say anything over around 150 pages. What does everyone else think?

It would fit that requirement easily, as it's a thickish book.

I'd like to play, I just got some brand new books that would easily fit into this category.
I think I have found a new addiction!

Yes, we have brought another one over to the dark side! Bwahahaha!
I mean, erm, welcome! :wave:
CheriePie - January 8, 2008 02:08 AM (GMT)
Well, originally I weren't gonna play cuz of too many owed TBRs, but the fact remains that I owe a review for an ARC I received and it's book 3 of a series in which I still have to read the first 2!! :o Thus, I might as well play because those first 2 books definitely fall into this category as well as my PUF swap!! :whistle:
* Cherie wonders if anyone has actually been observant enough to actually figure out the books in question... * :secret:

Please remove me from this swap. I just won't have the time after all. :erm:

Amberkatze - January 8, 2008 09:40 PM (GMT)
I will be sending out my reveal tomorrow.
However my week has gone a little pear-shaped. Firstly I have a seminar after work on Thursday so I won't be able to start this swap until the evening. About 9pm Central European Time!
Secondly...which is really really annoying...the internet in work is kaputt!! No online time for me...which means I will have to get up extra early to check in before going to work with the 3 swaps I am in starting this weekend!!
Ok...off to sleep...have to be up in again in a few hours...
