Title: May Day Exchange
Description: It is time!!!
Amberkatze - February 8, 2008 08:46 PM (GMT)
With the Valentine's Day exchange nearly upon us it is time to find a new Exchange to keep the Bookobsessor's happy :D
So it is time for the May Day Exchange!
From wikipedia -| QUOTE |
| May Day marks the end of the uncomfortable winter half of the year in the Northern hemisphere, and it has traditionally been an occasion for popular and often raucous celebrations, regardless of the locally prevalent political or religious establishment. |
The only rule is that you have to give ONE book off your partners wish list. Everyone should update their "Favorites" just in case their partner would like to enclose anything extra!
May Day is May 1st so that will be the day packages will be allowed tobe opened!
Sign ups will be open until the last week of February so that everyone has 2 months to get something to their partner. When I have closed the sign-up I will partner everyone up and then send everyone their partners details.
Who is May Daying?

I'm in. I love putting together exchange packages.
CheriePie - February 8, 2008 09:11 PM (GMT)
Oooooh shitty shit shit!!

You know I sooooo love this exchange, it being all "Springtime in New England" and such. But it's very likely I'll be living "on the road" in my RV at this time, without a permanent address! So I can't commit to anything that'd fall between May and August. Grrrrrrr.....

ETA - Then again, I could still be living here, trying to get our house sold. In which case, I'd kick myself for not playing while the rest of my life is being super stressful!!

A May Day exchange sounds loverly!! :wub: Please may I play too??
hobbit - February 8, 2008 09:45 PM (GMT)
Awww, CheriePie, that's too bad. Is there anyone near you that could be a temporary receiver or holder of the package, or would you be travelling far and wide?

I was going to suggest that too! I am sure there is someone who would be happy to hold on to the package for you. I can always make sure your partner is in the US...will mailing times inside the States not being so long you could let us know a week or 2 before opening where your package can be sent too.
Xeyra - February 8, 2008 10:26 PM (GMT)
Me, me, me!! I'll PM you with my address.
chronicbooker3 - February 8, 2008 10:43 PM (GMT)
Add me too, I will pm you now

My sister's house in California could work as an address if I am living on the road then. Though I haven't confirmed with her if she'd be willing to be my temporary address until I find a permanent home. :unsure:
And it could be super fun to shop for my partner as I'm traveling from MA to CA and living life on the road.... Hmmm... well I've got till the end of February to figure it out so make me a maybe. I'll talk to my sister and see if she's willing to be a surrogate receiver for me if our house is sold and we're on the road by then.
And if it's not, and we're still waiting to sell, well then my current addy in MA will work out just fine.
Gimme some time to talk to her, to Mike, and see what's up, and I'll have a definite answer by the end of the month.

PepperVL - February 9, 2008 02:06 PM (GMT)
I am thinking about it and will likely join, but am too sick to make any decisions right now. Don't want to let the fever convince me to do something... ;)
lexilewords - February 9, 2008 04:11 PM (GMT)

Amberkatze - February 9, 2008 04:46 PM (GMT)
Where is the rest of the world? So far I am the only one not in the States or Canada who is taking part! :erm:
terra57 - February 9, 2008 05:25 PM (GMT)

yes I am also surprised. Not many people playing so far?
I will probably join. :)
Glad I still have 3 weeks to think it over.
(and buy books after Valentine Exchange ) :whistle:
Potok-fan - February 10, 2008 12:33 PM (GMT)
I haven't done an exchange since last May Day (which was my first). So please count me in. :grouphug:

I've been dithering about this but I've decided to do it. I'll PM my address now.
:wave:
bemaia - February 11, 2008 02:08 PM (GMT)
I really would like to participate but I'm not sure when I'll move again because of my husband's job...It will probably be on June, but the company can ask us to move next week for example! :(
xallroyx - February 11, 2008 05:31 PM (GMT)
BunnyLady - February 13, 2008 11:12 PM (GMT)
Add me to your list. I will PM later.
alsgal - February 13, 2008 11:25 PM (GMT)
As much as I love these exchanges and putting together packages for my partner, I think I'm going to pass this time. I'm really focusing on whittling down my TBR pile and participating in these exchanges won't help.
But I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone gets.

Will you have to move very far (like from one country to another) or only sortof far (like from one state to another) or just from city to city? Perhaps you could join and give a way-station address, like your parents or your sister (if you have one)?
Marlene - February 14, 2008 01:25 PM (GMT)
Sign me up please Amber. :)
I now have the time (about 2 weeks right?) to remove some wish list books (buy them :blush: :giggle: ) and I love May first because it is Rowena's birthday.
She will be 18 this year. :o
