Title: A "So Good I have to Take it off Mt. TBR" swap
Description: To start February 29th


rootmartin - February 26, 2008 12:38 AM (GMT)
Hi there!

I thought that it would be fun to have a swap where we look at our Mt. TBR and pick the one book not already owed that we really, really want to read and then swap it. Then, we get an excuse to read it sooner rather than later. :giggle: And there is no guilt in using a TBR as everyone will be.

Any interest? Post here if you are.

:dance2: There's some interest! C'mon folks....I know that there are more of you who want to do a guilt-free "everyone else is doing it" kind of swap! :lol:

boomda181 - February 26, 2008 01:02 AM (GMT)

I just like having a "guilt free" reason to play in a swap with a TBR book, when I'd promised I wouldn't until my owed book list is whittled down some more. :giggle:

zosime - February 26, 2008 01:36 AM (GMT)
Sounds fun! And I just started my last owed TBR today. How will I know what to read if I don't owe any TBRs? :giggle:

CdnBlueRose - February 26, 2008 01:37 AM (GMT)
Cool idea! Put me down as a maybe please! :)

redhot-brat - February 26, 2008 02:38 AM (GMT)
Sounds like an interesting concept. Count me in as well.

Booksforever - February 26, 2008 02:54 AM (GMT)
I'm in!!

VeganMedusa - February 26, 2008 04:37 AM (GMT)
Okay, I'm going to have to ban myself from this site. But not right now - maybe after this swap. :whistle:

EllyMae58 - February 26, 2008 04:45 AM (GMT)
I can play as long as it's before March 13! :grin:

Although it's gonna be extra hard to pick a book! :hmm:

luckaye - February 26, 2008 05:42 AM (GMT)
With my TBR pile(s) how could I not join in!! I think everyone needs to take a photo of their Mt TBR! :giggle:

Um, yeah, I'd need a panoramic camera for that... or maybe, I just need to take a picture of my entire house... somehow with the walls transparent, like in the sims game... :giggle:

Xeyra - February 26, 2008 07:22 AM (GMT)
Count me in!!!

camis - February 26, 2008 08:01 AM (GMT)
Ooh yes, good idea! I'll play.

candy-is-dandy - February 26, 2008 08:36 AM (GMT)
Well if you lot all think it's OK then it's alright with me! Doesn't count as offering a TBR does it if everyone's doing it? :P That's a 'YES', Root!

giz-angel - February 26, 2008 10:10 AM (GMT)
Yes please!

wss4 - February 26, 2008 11:57 AM (GMT)
I have vowed to cut down on offering TBR's till I can get rid of the huge owed TBR pile that I currently have, you evil person. :shedevil: :whip:

Count me in.

YES!!!! YES!!!! YES!!!! I definitely want to do this!

The sooner, the better, LOL!

KathyB - February 26, 2008 03:08 PM (GMT)
Oh, why not :giggle: count me in!

I'm in as well. I may have already picked my book... :giggle:

giz-angel - February 26, 2008 05:14 PM (GMT)
Hmmm good call - am off to look at Mt TBR. How about I poke it and the first book that falls..... :giggle:

AM10000 - February 26, 2008 08:07 PM (GMT)
Would this mean all of our TBR's or just ones that we have on our Bookcrossing TBR shelf? :blink:

molekilby - February 26, 2008 08:27 PM (GMT)
If you start reading it before the swap begins, does that count as cheating?

Excellent idea and I'm in :P

If you've got a TBR you really want to read and it's unregistered - just register it and use it! :wink:

I dunno, lemme think about it ;)

If I don't, I'll certainly at least look in to see what you all have chosen! :D

spiderchic - February 26, 2008 11:10 PM (GMT)
Me too please!!

GateGypsy - February 27, 2008 01:11 AM (GMT)
BRILLIANT!!!

I am *So* in on this! I don't normally swap with TBRs (the whole idea makes me break out in a nervous sweat) but I think this is a marvelous idea!

Sunlightbub - February 27, 2008 01:20 AM (GMT)
Fab idea - although I'm not supposed to be swapping with TBR's I'll make an exception!

rootmartin - February 27, 2008 01:27 AM (GMT)
So, I guess that there was some interest in this type of swap. :giggle: :rofl:

AM10000 - February 27, 2008 03:01 AM (GMT)
Put me down as a maybe please! :)
