PLEASE CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS! THANKS! :kiss:


Thanks for joining the 2008 Chapter 12 Exchange We had alot of fun last year so lets continue to do so!

There were a few issues this past year so this year there will be some rules set into place and I will be keeping a better eye on people and books being sent!

1. Joining this exchange is making a commitment to the other members that have also signed up for 1 years time. Please remember this!

2. Any member who gets 2 months or more behind and not had their month/chapter yet will be removed from the exchange and replaced forfeiting all books sent so far - if said person has already had their month and received all their books they can not be removed from the exchange and will still be held responsible for sending out ALL books owed but will NOT be allowed to participate in the following years exchange.

3. Please Pm me the name of the book you are planning to send to each Chapter before you send it.. (Thanks for doing this this past year and this year I am starting a new system so it will be easier for me to keep track of everything)

4. If you have any questions feel free to PM me!

5. Have fun!!

I have decided to remove AM10000 and ctgmom from this exchange.. I sent them both PM's regarding owed books and have heard nothing in return. So it thinks it best for our exchange.. because of that I have moved people into different spots (some of you stayed the same) if you dont like the spot I moved you to please let me know I can move you back!

I am going to PM Bibliocrates (since she had mentioned she was interested in joining) and then we will have one spot open for someone else..

If I missed anything let me know!

Read it! Thanks for organizng!

I would be interested in joining. I am going to have to drop my Ballyswapper spot, after this round which ends in 3 months, because of the increase in International postage. I would love to join this one if it is US only. I 'think' by looking at all of the participants that it is. Let me know if you still have an opening.

Read it!

Read it!

Sounds fair. Thanks for keeping us organized, nursie! :)

Sounds good wss4!

Welcome to Chapter 12 Exchange group!

Oh and it is US only!

Read it and it sounds good to me. Thanks for organizing this again! (And my new month is just fine.)

Ok thanks everyone for reading this!

And your very welcome I really like organizing this! It was fun this past year!

Can I still join??

Justine

Oops, think I got here too late. Chambejd emailed me a bit ago about a spot being open, but if you have the last one that is okay.

Sounds like fun!

Justine

As of right now they are all taken but if Bibliocrates decides she doesnt want to join then I will for sure let you know!

New year, new participants. Don't keep the same old wishlists! Add some new books so everyone has a large selection to choose from to send each other.

I agree!

:ditto2:

Or, at least, if some of you ladies with smaller wish lists could maybe make a list of your favorite genres or maybe even some books you've read and really enjoyed so I/we could make better educated guesses at what to send if we don't happen to have anything on hand that's on your wish list, that would also be great!

(As for me, my wish list has become a monstrosity so large that it has assumed its own life force and now adds book titles to itself while I sleep. Nonetheless, far be it from me to give advice and not take it, so here's what I like - non-genre literary fiction, historical fiction - love stories are acceptable genre romance not so much, memoirs, non-fiction history and current events, and also good young adult fiction for reading and for Teen VBB fodder is always welcome.) :)

Excellent!! Thanks for letting me join. :D

So what month do we actually start the new round with?

ETA-- I am guessing March? :giggle: :blush:

Yep it's March!

PRICELESS!!!!! :lol: I'm not in this exchange - was just wasting some time reading through things - and laughed when I saw this post!!! MY wishlist has been doing the exact same thing!!! :giggle:

Good idea YOL.. my likes as far as books go.. I love paranormals, some chick lit, and I'm really getting into cozies! I dont care for most nonfiction unless it has to do with sex, a private part of the body, or something just off the wall, I love cookbooks especially crock pot/slow cooker recipes and cookies, some teen/YA adult books are good as well.. anything with the main character named Holly or anything wrote in journal, text message, or diary form.

OK I think that about does it!

Okay I guess I will add my interests, although my wishlist like YOL grows at an amazing rate. lol

Recently I seem to be reading mostly paranormal. But my old favorites are horror and good sci-fi. I especially like time travel and end of the world type stories. I have started a nice collection of cozies so those are always welcome. I love reading teen books, mostly the paranormal or fantasy ones (Elves and such-- not so much hard fantasy).

Here's mine:

I love chicklit. I do not like romance and there a huge difference between chicklit and contemporary romance though many people thinkt they are interchangable. I also love cozies, particularly culinary cozies. I don't read any other type of mystery besides cozies. I do read non-fiction but its mainly focused on chicklit-y type memoirs, the Amish, Civil War & Resconstruction - but tales of an individual or family not battles etc. I also like a book set in the Deep South centered around a bunch of quirky characters. Other than non-fiction I rarely read anything written by a man. Not that I am avoiding male authors, I've just noticed the trend with myself.

Besides romance, what I don't like is sick shit, paranormal in any way shape or form, sci-fi and fantasy, and books set in non-Western cultures.

Accepting... Read... Confirmed...

Thank you!

I'm in! And my new month is fine with me. Books I like are in my favorites post and on my BC page.

Read the new rules (and agree)

As for the book genres/general likes:

Like:

Cozy mysteries, especially by British authors
Animal stories (fiction and non-fiction), especially about dogs
Some chicklit (when the heroine has some common sense!)
Contemporary fiction
Memoirs/Biographies
Some historical fiction (mostly if the main character is a woman and also lately am liking pioneer type tales and stories about the Japanese internment in US/Canada during WW2)
Some sci-fi (I'm very picky about it though)
Modern ethnic tales/stories set in other cultures (fiction & non-fiction)
Like a story that's written in the first person!

Not crazy about for the most part (altho occasionally I might read & find one of these that I like - I try to stay open-minded!):
Romance
SS
Paranormal
Fantasy
Westerns
Political (fiction or non-fiction)

I'm pretty flexible with what I read but I really like chick-lit (not romance), non-genre general fiction and mysteries (cozies and regular stuff). I also read non-fiction, horror, sss and young adult on ocassion. I typically don't read paranormal, science fiction or fantasy but am willing to try it if you think it is good. :)

I just spoke with AM10000 she has all the books ready to mail except for SimplyCee's which she is going to read here shortly.. she has alot on her plate right now and was OK with being removed but she said you all WOULD get your books she has just been busy with life.. so thanks Anne Marye for letting me know and I hope things start looking up for you soon!

I have heard from ctgmom and she is supposed to be getting her books out to you all very soon as well.. let me know when you receive the books so I can CLOSE the months she owes OUT!

Thanks!

Holly

Thanks for posting Teresa!

Nursie, I'll check for duplicates for your month (May) if you need someone... :)

That would be great Joy! Thanks!

Is anyone else having trouble reading yourotherleft's wishlist at Cliff's site? I know she said it's taken on a life of its own, but now it seems to be blocking itself! :rofl:

It may just be a Mac issue, but I can see everyone else's!

I can see it fine, but first I have to click yes on a popup asking to abort some scripts running on the page.

I have a PC and I have problems with it too. I can't see anything after Feb 2007 I think.

I get a box too that asks me if I want to stop running scripts after I hit YES I can see it just fine..

Hmmm, I don't ever have any problems seeing it... :shrug:

Crazy wishlist! It just does its own thing over there, I have little to nothing to do with it. :lol:

I just see a big white box where the wishes are supposed to be!

I'll try from the library.

I could pm the wishes to you if that would help?

Read the rules etc. My spot is good. I guess I'm one of those with a "small" wishlist, but I thought it was rather long. I'll try to add some more. It's at the bottom of my profile, by the way.
I'll read pretty much anything except Romance and historical novels. I'd say you can send me whatever you want. If I don't like it, I'll pass it on.

That would be great, chambejd. Thanks! :wub:

I was just up on campus and tried it from a PC. It didn't work on Firefox, but did from Explorer (after I got the weird scripts message). So, I can get to it now! Thanks!
