I may have bunged up the email I sent saying that I *would* continue for another year... :D

To BallySwap or not to BallySwap... that is a great question!

I am thinking of joining you all. May I "reserve" a spot until tomorrow? I'll definitely know by then... :blush:

This is international, yes? I'd like to participate, if I may, if you have space for me. I'm still kicking myself for not leaping at the chance to be in the new Paranormal group Terra started :cry: -- If I get to sign up for this one, it's important that I admit to being in the JOE group, too, right? so douplicates can be checked for by both organisers?

They can be cross checked but it's unlikely you would get the same month for both :)

:ditto2: :)

I can do it!! :w00t:
Sign me up!

:lol:

ps. I'm in 2 other groups, as indicated in my signature :)

Ok I e-mailed Pepper and if no one else is interested in joining us we'll have two/three empty months. we can either make pause in the circle or end earlier. But lets wait a little bit more with that :rolleyes:

Rather tempting... :giggle:

:whistle:

Pepper decided to stay :)

We have 2 or 1(stella?) spot and I think we can leave group open for new member(s) 'till 15th and then we'll shuffle and post the list for next year.

These exchanges are not cheap, but they are so much fun... I say, why not?! If i don't take part on the random ones, I can make it.

Count me in too! :giggle:

I'd like to join as well as long as it's okay with everyone if I might need to send out books kind of early....

I expect I might get really busy around October when I switch jobs. If things start to look crazy, I might have to just send off the rest of the stuff I owe so none get forgotten.

Is that too annoying?

I wouldn't be annoyed. I send things out early, too, sometimes. Better to do it while I'm thinking of it than risk forgetting! :giggle:

Lovely! We have 12 members. Pepper will post new list soon and new members, please send me your address and e-mail address. thank you :)

Oh and please (along with address and e-address) tell me your reading preferences and what you don't like. That should be helpful since wishlist book is not mandatory :)
Also if some of old members has new address drop me a line about it.
Thanks :)

Everyone please PM me with any preferences as to months - months you want, months you don't want, etc.

If you're truly indifferent, please let me know that too. Thanks!

I wouldn't be annoyed :)

Sent my info out to both of y'all!

:peek:

yep :peek:
Oh and some books are already on its way. But it's not depending on me would it be torture or not ... Pepper wanted to create the list :neener:

Books already on way??? :o

What is the "first month" for this group?

It should be June.
Don't know why Pepper is not posting the list? I'll have to leave the town for two weeks soon. :erm:

I'm still waiting to hear from Rebecca, Stella, & Camis about what months they would prefer.

If I haven't heard by the end of the day tomorrow, I'll pick anyway and post. :D

Okay, here's our order!

June - stellarv
July - Lemonitsa
August - msjoanna
September - PepperVL
October - geishabird
November - zzz
December - sunlightbub
January - rebeccaljames
February - giz-angel
March - GateGypsy
April - camis
May - krin511

Wow, I got to be first! Great, since I was JOE's last... :giggle:

I'll have plenty of time to "hunt" everybody's books! :party:

Thanks for posting the list, Pepper! Here's go a great year, everyone! :flower:

No-one in my family ever gets me books for christmas so loving being December :D

Ok -- now that we have an order, who do I PM to let know which books I'm sending and to make sure there aren't doubles?

OK everyone should have received an e-mail from me. (right?)

I got the pm :bounce:

Yep!

Gotcha!

:blink: I got the PM you sent in response to my question -- was the information you gave me in that the same as the PM you sent to everyone else? (regarding the guidelines for the exchange?) Is there a list of everyone's addresses, etc?

ETA:

I just checked my EMail. I got a big EMail from ya, so I guess that's what you meant (like you said) not PM (like I was silly and assumed :lol: ) Information received! Thank you!

Ooooooops... Nothing in my mailbox. :shrug:

That's probably cos it was about you :giggle:
You are getting some fab books :D

:rofl: Oh Stella :rofl:

ETA:
I agree with Sunny, you ARE getting fabulous books!

Hahahahahaha!!! :rofl:

I thought those were general swap rules. Stupid me. :blush:

I have some doubts... Does the book we send have to be a wishlist one? If not, are we getting a hint on everybody's tastes? :shrug:

Stella, trying to start gathering books in advance...
