Title: Afrikan Swap #2
Description: any interest?


zzz - May 2, 2008 01:55 PM (GMT)
It's six months since the first African Swap so I was wondering if there is an interest for the #2?

HERE you can see all revealed books from the first swap

FYI offered book should be written by African author and/or related with Africa. There are no genre restrictions (fiction, nonfiction, memoir, etc is fine) and considering there is an enormous literary diversity in themes, genres, history, mythology, etc it shouldn't be a problem to find a book for this one.
So, anyone? (I think about 10 players minimum)

(The date would be sometime in May. I think 6 months between two swaps should be OK)

msjoanna - May 2, 2008 04:17 PM (GMT)
Definitely interested.

I'll be out of town and unavailable for swapping over the Memorial Day weekend in the US (May 24-28).

Any other dates in May or early June are great.

I'm interested. I'll have to locate a book, but I pulled a really good list when I was planning for the last swap and there were some *great* ones revealed, so there are plenty to choose from.

I won't be able to play in this one, but I can tell already it'll give me lots of good ideas for books to add to my wishlist!

yourotherleft - May 2, 2008 08:28 PM (GMT)
Me! Me! :w00t:

I've got way more books about Africa than I had before - so I might even have a choice of which to offer!

I might be going out of town one of the weekends in May, but I don't know which one yet. If the swap is not on the weekend that I end up going out of town, I'm definitely in!

Why not GG?

YOL the same is with me. I have more than few great books (some of those even available :o) that can offer in this swap :)

I'd like to play!! :wave:

I have a mega busy week mid-May but should still be able to play.

rootmartin - May 3, 2008 10:20 AM (GMT)
I'm definitely in! :dance2:

Love my African books. :lol:

I don't actually have any books in my possession that I could use for this swap! :lol: I used to have Half of a Yellow Sun but I gave it away to RootMartin when it was her JOE month.

Gategypsy :whip: :whip: Now, I'm feeling a bit bad..... since you can't play because of my JOE book.

I suppose another solution would be that you scurry out and procure yourself a book that would work. :whistle:

HoserLauren - May 3, 2008 08:15 PM (GMT)
If I can find a book, I would be interested :)

Don't feel bad, Root! It's all good. I'll just watch. :wink:

Flicki - May 4, 2008 07:14 AM (GMT)
Ooooooh! I have a great book for this and it's NOT TBR for a change, so count me in, please! :D

zzz - May 4, 2008 08:00 AM (GMT)
OK that's great! If everyone find a book we'll have enough players for this swap :) (so please do find a book)

About the date: Here we have elections May 11 and I'll be absent 'till 16th; candy has mega-busy week in mid May and Joanna will be absent May 24-28, so how about May 29th or 30th?
That should also give everyone enough time to find a book.

I'll be out of town May 29th through June 1st and won't have access to a computer so I wouldn't be able to play.

It's one of my favourite :wink:

morsecode - May 6, 2008 12:34 PM (GMT)
I'll probably be on a train for 8 hours on the 2nd, but I can just be randomized later in the play list

zzz - May 16, 2008 09:41 PM (GMT)
:bump:

yourotherleft - May 16, 2008 10:21 PM (GMT)
I'll be away on June 1st and much of 2nd, so I guess maybe I won't be able to play after all... :sigh:

zzz - May 16, 2008 10:42 PM (GMT)
YOL that's two days, it's not that you'll be absent for a week.
