I'd say sometime in April atleast for a start. That way everybody has a little time to get prepared, seeing as March is only 2 days away (depending on your time zone).

Hmmmm .... for a name ...... How about the Globetrotters Group , seeing as our books will be going international?

:rolleyes: Just a thought ..... Naming is not my greatest strength. :lol:

Any order is OK with me... but I don't want to be one of the first (just because March is my Ballyswapper month and I don't want too much goodness all at once :rolleyes: )

As for a name...
um...
I'll let you know if I have any good ideas

If we want to do it by b-days we should probably figure out when all of our b-days are.

(me=September)

But as I said before any organization is OK with me as long as I'm not one of the first

Bump!

If no one has the same birthday month that may work. ;) Come on think of names. I'm 5% creative. Every once in a while I have a brain fart and think of something good but this isn't one of those times. :lol:

If we go with b-days mine is October. Though could do November too as it's the very last day of October .... Happy Halloween to me ! :shedevil:

my b-day is in august...but I dont really feel the need for it to be my month..actually I'd rather not...cause I'm on the internacional birthday raback experience on bc, also on a nacional one on the portuguese forum and at the b-day exchange over were. besides I always receive money for books and other stuff on my b-day.

offcourse if thats what everybody else prefers I have no objections.


I think we should start on april cause march is one day away and that can delay the first shiping.

about names I'm going to think it up a bit and I'll be back

Ok, these ideas are really crap, but here they are:
Monthly madness
BFYBFM (books for you books for me)

They aren't crap ... no worse then my idea.

Though I gotta admit the "Monthly Madness" one had me rolling. That is what we call the week my daughter cycles. To say she gets VERY crabby and unfit to live with is a serious misrepresentation , to say the least.

Here's another crappy idea ......

Basic International Book Exchange .... or B.I.B.E. for short :)

I'm crap at ideas myself. The order doesn't matter to me at all... (my bday is in December btw if we do go that way)

The only thing I can think of is
Monthly Obsession

Ok ... bear with me... I'm sitting home broke and bored all by myself today. Soooo I have absolutely nothing to do , but try to come up with ideas for a name ... and laundry. LOL - This is winning. So I'll be popping in and adding whatever weird things pop into my head. That said ... my latest idea.

It's kinda cutesy , but I actually like it.

Stay Happy And Read Exchange ..... S.H.A.R.E

One more moment of my odd ideas .....

Worlds Of Reading Delivered ....W.O.R.D. for short.

Let me know when I start driving you all crazy :))

Pardon my ignorance, but what are you guys? I mean are you 11 a specific swap group or do you send to each other on each other's birthdays? It's Greek to me...

We're setting up a new exchange group. There are several in existence on the site already. More info here:

http://home.comcast.net/~mbentz1/swapfaq.html#xgroups

(Psst...we need another person... :whistle: )

AHEM! :whip:

I'd wanted to suggest "Book Bags" but we aren't all female... :lol: Not sure how zzz feels about being a bag...

I really like that chapter idea... too bad it's taken already :rolleyes:

Ummm... here's an idea.
If Ballyswappers is no more after May (I'm not altogether clear on that), couldn't we take over that name :rolleyes:

Sorry Three! :bash:
I've added you. :wink:

I'd rather have a new name morsie. I will put the suggestions we've had down so far then make a poll up soon. Probably wait for a few more suggestions though. ;)

We didn't use dirty dozen or 12 Steps Bookaholics so they are available if you like.

btw, azuki, I love your little panda!


Ooooh... the power of google:
now I know all about TarePanda :D

I like Azuki's ideas ... those are both good ones. :bananadance:

Here are some ideas that came to me over lunch:

Overbooked/Booked Up/Booked In Advance/Book 'Em Dano
A Likely Story/A Tale Of 12 Cities/Shelf Lives
IRTIA (I Read Therefore I Am)

Ohhh some of those are cool too Geisha .... I like the Tale of 12 Cities idea

I like those, Geisha!

Does poll dance :lol:


Do we maybe have enough for a poll? we could narrow it down, have another poll, narrow it down, have another poll narrow it down :rofl:

Sorry, I'm being a smart ass... I really do love polls! :P

I just may make an executive decision and not do any polls SMARTASS! :lol: I'm kidding I think we enough to do a poll now. Only way I'll do another poll after is if there's a tie. :P

Here's what I have so far, I will make poll shortly.
