OK folks, Sunlightbub and I have decided. This swap will be taking place on July 15, even if we're the only two playing. It's a lot more fun if there are a minimum of 8 players, so please sign up.

For the next couple of months, we'll try to keep a very strict schedule -- starting on the 15th of each month, regardless of which day of the week it is. This way, people can plan. No other changes -- anyone can play with a book of any genre (or no genre), 12 hours to play, and Marlene is going to be in charge of entertainment. :rofl:

Me! :grin:

Me!! Every month. :D

me - if I'm not giving birth :D

Fab!! That's five of us already :bananadance:

Me, too! :bananadance:

I'd like to join in on this one. The TBR is dwindling so I can join in on a couple more swaps.

Me please I have to think of a book but I am sure there are a few lying around the place :giggle:

I have to skip this month cos I am off to Spain for a week on 20th to stay with friends. I shall be playing in August though. :D

:huh: :o :blink: :ph34r:

I thought you wanted more players. Not less woman. :whip: :rofl:

O that sounds good teachie. I am sure you'll have fun! :)

8 players so far!

Come on Marlene! :D

I've picked a much wished for book for this one!

Marlene -- we want lots of players. The more the merrier. But, it's so much fun that you participate in the swap even if you aren't playing. That makes sure that everyone is having fun.

:rofl: I was kidding. That people would not sign up if they heard Marlene would be there for the entertainment. :rolleyes: :lol:

Nah -- you're definitely the headliner. If BookObsessed had a marquee, we'd display "Exclusive Engagement - The Marvelous Miss Marlene".

Ah you are so sweet. I am blushing now. :blush: :wub:
Thanks babe :whip:

I'm in!

I won't be able to do August or September, so I'm glad to get to play in one more YBS before my between-jobs vacation. I'm travelling and driving across country in August and September before starting my next job at the end of September.

So, lots of reading and audiobooks in August and September, but no swapping for me then...

Well put me in as a maybe.
I am also playing in the Chick Lit swap on teh 6th :)

Oh, I'm sure you can keep up with two swaps at once! And if you have excess Chick Lit books, you can offer one of those in the YBS. After all, it's the *anything goes* swap.

I'll swap you all of my TBR books for a newborn. :rofl:

I love babies and have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of grandkids so I can get my fix of snuggles.

Yay!! Looking good so far!

And a headliner too!! Excellent!

You know what, Jordanne, you need to work on this obsessed thing.

Giving birth is no excuse not to swap. :razz:

:lmao:

You're absolutely right, it should only take me a couple of hours. So I will be able to to check in at least once every 12 hours :D

Mmmm don't know about postage to the US though. A baby might be quite heavy :rofl:

Cheaper than keeping it and having to pay for everything all its life!!

Glad to see there is more interest this month! I'll be busy on vacation so I can't play but hope you guys have fun!!!!

Darn. I can't play in this one - I will be at the beach - drinking a bunch of beer!!!!

Please add me

I think I need a YBS..(aka..Young Boy Stud..) hehehe

Sign me up

Hey :wave:
I'm game.......as in.....NO paranormal VBB in July....Arrrgh :pirate:

I was just wondering what to do with the lovely books that are NOT about ghosties and vamps.....

twigg

Ah -- looks like it's shaping up to be a good swap. Twiggy, if you want to offer a paranormal book in this swap, go for it! This is truly an "anything goes" swap. Genre or not -- whatever you've enjoyed and want to share with at least one of us.

Is it terrible of me to say, yes you can offer any genre but please try and offer a anything go's good book?
Not just any old book you want to get rid of.
Talking in general here.

Last few YBS's I was not that thrilled with the books offered.
Maybe it is me though. I know I have a difficult taste. :blush: Yes I confess, I am a difficult person. :whip: :lol:

So sorry that I'll have to miss this one. I'll be traveling. Have fun!

Definitely, but also remember that the longer some of us are here the number of good books we haven't already read, or in my case got tbr :blush: gets smaller :wink:

:lol: :whip: :lol: Yeah you are right. :rolleyes: I think in my case I am a bit difficult sometimes though if I am honest. Not that I want the newest books but my taste is just weird. For instance I prefer my characters to be female. :shrug:

Weird cause 2 books I loved were Wally Lamb I Know this much is True and Pillars of The Earth by Ken Follett (although this book has male and female main characters)

Now if I can just pick something Marlene wants, I can send her practically my own m-bag with the other three books I owe her already... :rofl:

I've just finished The Thirteenth Tale, but I still need to read the other two. Not too much longer to wait though.

I keep changing my mind what book to use for this one!!

:wave:

Sign me up, please!

Thought I had signed up for this already :giggle: Please add me!

Add me as a maybe please. :)
