Library opening hours
After having read Meegan's blog regarding having no books to read that haven't been read 1000 times before - and then having a couple of other people respond in the positive to my comment about borrowing books from me - well it occurs to me that we need to organise some sort of book library/swap amongst us all. No reason as far as I can see either, why people interstate should not be able to join us in this. Some of my books I will want back. Others can just continue on in the great book swap of life. So I'm not sure how to get started with this. Do I list some of my top 10 most owned authors? Do I let you all know the genre I like and see if it's up your alley? Suggestions are most welcome regarding how we can expand our reading potential without having to fork out $29.95 for a book that takes me 48 hours to read (edit. well they used to only take me that long to read. Now thanks to two children and being able to usually only read about 2 pages uninterrupted, it does tend to take a little longer to complete a novel these days).

Oooooh count me in!
ReplyDeleteI wil read pretty much anything, except war type novels. I'm really bad at remembering all the detail and technical talk associated with these type of books :)
But they are Marc's type of books so we do have quite a few of them to share.
I on the other hand I have everything from 3 sets of the Narnia series (I've nearly worn the first lot out - I think they may have been a hand on from the Mowatt's actually!), to all of the Harry Potter's, to nearly every thing Alexander McCall Smith has written, to anything John Grisham and Patricia Cornwall :)
And while I like to keep all my books, I really don't mind sharing them with you all - boomerang style ;)
I'll be in it! You guys can check out my collections whenever you come over. I'm like you Meegan, I cannot get rid of a book, but am more than happy to "long lend" it. I've got some Sophie Kinsella, Joy Fielding, Chris Manby, an autographed copy of Mao's Last Dancer... too many to mention.
