Me!!!! Me!!!! Ooooh I have so many books to choose from.

:wave:

Me, please!

giz-angel - January 24, 2008 12:43 PM (GMT)
Yes please!

2 questions (as I'm not a native speaker... sorry for that... but I'm a native speaker of something else at least! ;-)): Does 'You can't have any books owing past 6 months ago' mean that I need to deliver them before August? Or can't I play with books that I have longer than six months (which would be a slightly strange rule, but still... ;-))? And does Non-Genre swap mean that I can play any genre or that the book shouldn't really fit with a certain genre?

Thx a bunch!

The 6 month rule means, for example, if you owe someone on this site a book from a VBB from before August, then you can't play.

Non-genre is something you can't define under any other category. So not mystery, not romance, not historical fiction, etc.
Jodi Picoult is a good example of an author that writes non-genre.

Breeze - January 24, 2008 07:52 PM (GMT)
Me!

Flicki - January 24, 2008 07:52 PM (GMT)
Okay, then I'd like to play, too! :P Thanks, Lauren, for answering my questions!

Sign me up this is one of my favs :wacko:

msjoanna - January 25, 2008 02:45 AM (GMT)
Ah, heck. Sign me up. I'll be regretting it later when I have no books to swap and I played in three swaps in January...

Whatever...

chronicbooker3 - January 26, 2008 10:01 PM (GMT)
just bumping this to the top

Ri - January 26, 2008 10:18 PM (GMT)
Do you have to live Ontario to play in this swap? :lol:

If not, I'd like to join!

VeganMedusa - January 27, 2008 12:19 AM (GMT)
Is there someone not playing in this swap that I can PM to make sure I have the right book in mind? I don't trust my judgement! :blush:
For me, both books and music are divided into I like it and I don't like it, and unless it's fairly obvious, I find it hard to categorize them. :unsure:

ETA: I have my own personal little helper (luckaye) so please count me in for this swap. (And if you don't like the book, blame her! :giggle: )

Chronic :whip:

I have been trying my hardest to not sign up for this but I might as well go for broke (NF swap, best of Swap and now Non-Genre Swap)

Marlene - January 31, 2008 10:38 AM (GMT)
Isn't it hard to find a book that is a non genre book.
Picoult is one I understand but what else?

Most of my books are non-genre!!

Khaled Hosseini, Middlesex, Douglas Coupland, Jose Saramago, Philip Roth - those are a couple more examples of authors/titles that would be non-genre

Marlene - January 31, 2008 02:50 PM (GMT)
Oke. so I think I should look at the books on my shelf that are placed in the literature/Fiction category.
(If I would play that is and I am already tired of swapping in just the one swap :rolleyes: )

Do you want me to sign you up, or no?

Marlene - January 31, 2008 03:02 PM (GMT)
No thanks. Better not.
Too many books to send out and the book I would have used. ( I did find a book) would cost me

Priority Standard
0 - 20 g. € 0,92 vervalt
20 - 50 g. € 1,84 vervalt
50 - 100 g. € 2,76 vervalt
100 - 250 g. € 5,52 vervalt Small paperback

8 dollars and 20 cents. :pirate:

Vervalt means they have removed this as an option, this is standard shipping.

Darn I really hate that the goverment has control of the one Postal system and making it so expensive.

:whip: :whip: :whip:
