Do you like to read?
Lil' Earl and I came up with a neat idea last night: a book swap!
It would work like this: Everyone who wants to participate lets me know; I'll send out a list with everyone's address in order. Then you'll send a copy of a book you feel is vital reading along with a cheap journal to the person listed after you. You will receive a book and journal from the person listed before you. You'll keep those for about a month, reading them and putting notes/thoughts in the journal, and then send them off to the person listed after you. It will be a cycle of education! You'll always mail books to the same person and receive books from the same person until you get your own book back along with a journal filled with other peoples' thoughts. We'll have regular mail-by dates, like the 15th of the month or something like that.
So for the price of one book (which you'll get back) and some postage, you get to read many, many books and you'll get to read the journal entries from fellow readers. If you're interested, email me with your address and the book you think you'll want to send. This is a bit of a long-term commitment; it will last a month times everyone involed, but just think of all of the great books you'll get to read that you probably wouldn't have tried on your own. Super-super fun-fun!

YES YES YES. This is a terrific idea and deffinitly want to be included. I have ALWAYS wanted to be part of a book club, and this is more better (yes I just said that) and no one has to make scones. Can we have an end - of- the swap party, too? And you have my info. I think you are one of three people that has ALL my info. hehehe. Ewwww. Eh, ya' got any gum? HA HA HAAA.
What, you don't like my scones? 'Cause if there is an "End of the Swap" Party, I'm making scones. And you are NOT making that stuff you call spinach dip.
can this include people you don't already know? because i may be interested.
I didnt say I dont like your scones, I said lets just not have them in general (meaning, lets just get drunk and go for a curry) and you can still make them, as long as they are made with alcohol that hasn't been cooked out. (Good thing I'm going to a party Friday to get my alcoholic urges out!). And I invited Kim Bayman, whom nearly everone knows. If thats okay. If not I will fight you. AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY FABULOUS SPINACH DIP? I will bring guacamole.
This is pretty much open to anyone who will participate throughout the whole cycle. Email me your info; in the meantime, you've been tagged!
