Title: Paranormal Book Devils
Description: This is international
terra57 - March 2, 2008 09:56 PM (GMT)
The exchange group has 12 members and each member is assigned one month of the year. During each member's assigned month, each of the other 11 members will send a paranormal book to the member whose month it is. For example, in April, the member who is assigned April will receive a book from each other member of their exchange group.
Sign up quickly as I will only take 11 names to fill the calender. This swap will start with April.
huggs,
Terra
Update of rules:
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 Devil before you send it.. (this will prevent doubles) and it will also be easier for each Devil to check the books against my list they arrive.
4. If you have any questions feel free to PM me!
5. Have fun!!
Addy's needed asap please***

This sounds like a lot of fun Terra, but you may consider renaming it. There is already a Reading Diva group and this may get confusing to some.
Wish I could join, but I already belong to 3 groups.

oh man, I would love to, but not knowing what my job situation will be after Sept. I can't in good conscience sign up! I'm so jealous! :cry: I'll definitely be watching to see what goodies ya'll give each other though!
Amberkatze - March 3, 2008 09:28 PM (GMT)
I want in!!!
I guess that the books being sent to me on my month would be one I haven't read....

I'm thinking it would be a great idea to have a wish list or I've read it list somewhere so we can make sure the person who is receiving isn't getting something that they have already read. Why waste postage.

Like the name, terra!! Sorry I can't join at this time......
redhot-brat - March 4, 2008 03:11 AM (GMT)
If this gets enough people to go, I'll join.
peachy93722 - March 4, 2008 06:05 PM (GMT)
What the heck. I like paranormals so I'm in.
nursiegirl42 - March 4, 2008 06:23 PM (GMT)
in this exchange is it required to send a wishlist book? just curious so I know what to plan for.
terra57 - March 4, 2008 06:57 PM (GMT)
No it doesn't have to be a wishlist book just something that the receiver hopefully hasn't read. I know most of us do have wishlists at Cliff's and Amazon and we also have a books read list on bc. I know it's a bit of work to check the lists but it will be worth it in the end to receive all books you haven't read.
I welcome any ideas on making this easier so feel free to speak.

Add me please. I am quite new to this genre but got into after reading Anne Rice's books and am now hooked on the dream/dark hunter books.
Could I ask not to be July or October please cos I am already in book exchanges for those months.

I don't know Amber, we may have to lock up your checkbook until that month so you don't buy anything new :giggle:

I am not allowed to buy any more books from my wishlist anymore. These exchanges mean I will get doubles at some point if I do!
If it is okay I would prefer not to be December because I have family who send me presents for xmas and I would definitely end up doubles then.
Oh and we don't have checkbooks here
:blink:

:giggle:
maybe we should make you June/July here, then you won't get doubles from JOE since you're October there!
:whistle:
terra57 - March 5, 2008 12:42 AM (GMT)
Only need 4 more to get this on the run. :D

luckaye - March 5, 2008 03:15 AM (GMT)
I would like to join too please - any month is fine with me - May sounds good :)
lexilewords - March 5, 2008 04:00 AM (GMT)
I just wished to clarify--I love paranormals, but I don't like Stephen King/Clive Cussler/John Saul sort. I don't mind explicitly stated murderous rampages, but I don't like their style of writing (kinda like how I can't read Danielle Steel novels, I don't mind the genre but for some reason her writing irks me). So feel free to ignore my wishlist--I'm sure I have mor ethen enough paranormals on there, but as I found out while perusing other people's wishlists and bookshelves there are still tons out there I haven't read (I do suggest looking at my Books Owned Shelf, since that will at least show you what I already have...you can organize by genre too for simple filtering :)
::goes off to cull her paranormal stacks to see what she'd love to share now or eventually::

I guess that is what you would call the cards here.
I will tell you all that my pre-orders (because I can't order books from my wishlist) is extremely long for the next 3 months....
wss4 - March 5, 2008 11:53 AM (GMT)
Darn it. I have been trying to stay away from this thread, I really have.
But with this great group of folks and the opportunity to get a bunch of new paranormal books how is a person supposed to resist?
Add me to the list please!!

XD I'm in the same boat...April is my birthday and my Paranormal Book Devils month, and then May is the May Exchange and Indecisives Month. The only good thing as far as my pre-orders go is that I'm fairly certain none of the above will be sending me manga or manga related items, so I don't have to worry about getting doubles for those (and truly that's what most of my pre-orders are on since most of my local bookshops don't care my lesser known series).
luckily my RMTBRBB month is in november!
Amberkatze - March 5, 2008 03:57 PM (GMT)
Oh and people can send me audiobooks if they want!!! I am really into listening to things on the way to work lately and they are so hard for me to find here.
I would love any Charlaine Harris, Kim Harrison, MaryJanice Davidson (Betsy!!!), J.R. Ward or Kelley Armstrong books to listen too! Even though I have read them all already ;) Actually if anyone has any and wants to trade let me know!

Oooo....I am August. That will be hard for people. My Birthday is the last day of July so I won't be able to update my wishlist in time for this. :erm:
