International Wishlist Tag Game
There is a game going on in the Bookmooching Group on LibraryThing which I think is great, so I thought I´d try it here on BookMooch. If you would like to participate, please check the wishlist of the member who posted last in this thread, and if you have something from their wishlist you are willing to send, you post here with "I tag xxx", list and reserve it on BM, they Mooch it from you and you send the book to her/him. So you are now last and hopefully someone will find something for you and so on. All mooches should be international. If you'd like to participate, please make sure there is something on your wishlist and you have 3 points available for Mooching. So I´ll start by offering a copy of  Jon Krakauer : Into the Wild (good condition with some minor cover creases and the lower back cover corner is beginning to split and curl). If anyone would like to participate then they should 'tag' me for the book, I will reserve it for them, they Mooch it from me. All mooches should be international. I am then the last name on the list and someone finds a book from my WL and tags me with the title. If no-one wants to play, then my copy of Into the Wild finds a good home and all ends there. I've been playing this on LT and had great fun: you get something you like, you send something the person will like who gets it, and you even know the postage costs in advance (if it´s too far and too expensive, you just don´t tag the member). Hopefully it will be as popular on here as on LT and BookCrossing :) Shamelessly copied from DubaiReader on LibraryThing who shamelessly copied it from Schwester at BookCrossing :) Click on the drop-down menu (upper right) to join this forum and sign up to receive updates by email! The more books you have on your wishlist, the better your chances of getting tagged :-)

| (8 years ago) | Just discovered this game, and I thought that it looked pretty cool. :-) Only, I would rather not send anything international, and out of fairness I wouldn't feel right receiving anything internationally, either. Is it breaking the rules if I play this game?
And also, what do you do when the last one tagged has been inactive for a long time? Who is next?
- Daisy | | (12 years ago) | Thanks Gerri, but I prefer to listen to David Sedaris....he's much funnier that way. :-)
Thanks though!
- Robin | | (12 years ago) | Robin
I have a paper copy, not an audio CD of When You are Engulfed in Flames by Michael Sedaris if you are interested.
- Gerri | | (12 years ago) | It's reserved for you, all you need to do is go "mooch" it! :-)
- Robin | | (12 years ago) | Hello Robin,
Yes that would be lovely :)
Thank you
duygu
- duygu basman | | (12 years ago) | Thanks again Gerri, let me know when it's there
- Mosca | | (12 years ago) | I can tag Mosca with Secret Life of Bees
- Gerri | | (12 years ago) | I can tag  duygu basman
with Beloved by Toni Morrison.
Let me know if you still want it.
Robin
- Robin | | (12 years ago) | OK, it's there for you
- Mosca | | (12 years ago) | That sounds good...thank you please post & reserve for me.
- Gerri | | (12 years ago) | Gerri, I tag you with a decent PB copy of The perks of being a wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. Please let me know and I'll reserve it.
- Mosca | | (12 years ago) | Thank you...I have mooched it.
Checking wish lists no luck yet..Will keep trying.
- Gerri | | (12 years ago) | Gerri - I am posting Little Women for you, hopefully I can figure out how to reserve it for you :)
- duygu basman | | (12 years ago) | Great ...I would love Butcher Boy. Yes I started the 1001 books & was shocked at how few I had read.
I'll look at your wish list I'm hopeful I have a book for you.
- Gerri | | (12 years ago) | How can we keep the list of participants in view?
- Robin | | (12 years ago) | I have been tagged offlist by NinaBryna for 3 books J. I'll be looking at wishlists shortly.
- Mosca | | (12 years ago) | Thank you Kerry.
Gerri, I have Little Women but I hvae to see if it is a more simplified one for children or the original one. If it is for children, then I have Butcher Boy I can tag you with. Also, we have a lot of books in common , I guess you are following the 1001 list also :)
- duygu basman | | (12 years ago) | I tagged Canuck_Jenni with Love is Hell
- Gerri | | (12 years ago) | Hi Duygu,
I can tag you with a copy of The Sparrow, posted and reserved for you. The next step would be for you to check the wishlists of the other members of this forum to see if you can fulfill someone elses wish.
-Kerry-
- Kerry | | (12 years ago) | How do I join the forum?
- duygu basman | | (13 years ago) | Jenni, you should pick another player to tag instead of me. I'll keep an eye on the forum to see if I can jump in, but I do have an odd wishlist. Maybe when the game catches hold and there are more players I'll be able to slip back in.
- Mary H | | (13 years ago) | I've checked MaryH's list but can't help either - I'd only heard of one of her WL books!
Anyone else??
- DubaiReader | | (13 years ago) | This sounds like a great way to connect. Although I don't currently have anything for Mary H but I'll keep my eye on other posts.
- Sonja | | (13 years ago) | Sorry to be so slow in responding. I'm AFK pretty much until the end of the month working on a special project.
My intention in setting this up was to encourage international mooching. I think it's great that Mary H offered up a domestic mooch to LauraTS and I hope she finds someone international to tag soon.
Anyway, as long as I'm here, I'll tag LauraTS with Mary Ann Shaffer : The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and, since I've already received a tag and I really hope more people will join in, I'll pass my tag opportunity to MaryH.
So, next to be tagged is Mary H
- Jenni Canuck | | (13 years ago) | OK, I've just noticed in large letters on the instructions that all Mooches should be international!
So Laura TS still needs tagging - my apologies.
- DubaiReader | | (13 years ago) | Jenni should have the last say on this, but I would have thought a local mooch counted as well.
- DubaiReader | | (13 years ago) | OK, this doesn't count as a turn since LauraTS & I aren't international, but I was looking over your list & have a pristine copy of Dawn Dais : The Nonrunner's Marathon Guide for Women: Get Off Your Butt and On with Your Training if you're interested. I'll just have to keep watching the forum for my chance to play for real.
- Mary H | | (13 years ago) | Great! I will list and reserve it for you.
- LauraTS | | (13 years ago) | Any edition is fine by me, thanks Laura
LauraTS next to be tagged.
- DubaiReader | | (13 years ago) | DubaiReader, I have a hardback copy of The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit, if you don't care about specific edition.
- LauraTS | | (13 years ago) | Awesome, thank you!
Next to be tagged DubaiReader
- birdbrain | | (13 years ago) | I'
ll tag Birdbrain with Only You Can Save Mankind by Terry Pratchett.
I'll list it now.
- DubaiReader | | (13 years ago) | Hi Nina,
The benefit is that you (hopefully) get a book from your wishlist. In addition to that, you may find other moochers with similar tastes whom you may be able to trade books with in the future.
- Kerry | | (13 years ago) | I'm not sure I understand how this works, but I shall be happy to join. Can someone explain for the benefit of the (apparently) feeble minded (or bleary-eyed). thanks.
- NinaBryna | | (13 years ago) | Thank you! I'll happily accept that (the edition does not matter to me, I just want to read it). So that means birdbrain is next to be tagged!
- Kerry | | (13 years ago) | @ Kerry ::: I have this edition of Lawrence Hill : Book Of Negroes. Unless you specifically want the edition you have on your wishlist, I will tag you with this one.
- birdbrain | | (13 years ago) | @Robin
I think it might be better to wait until you have something ready to send. Hopefully, there will be many opportunities to tag and be tagged :-)
Still waiting to be tagged: Kerry
- Jenni Canuck | | (13 years ago) | Ok, so if I understood this correctly, I'm now supposed to look at Kerry's WISHlist, and see if there's anything on it I have?
I actually might have Asimov's Mother's Day, but I haven't read it yet. I did *just* finish Blanche cleans up, but I loved it so much, I didn't want to give it up.
So, maybe I shouldn't play?
- Robin | | (13 years ago) | Thank you!
Next to be tagged: Kerry
- Jenni Canuck | | (13 years ago) | I guess I'm playing it wrong, but I don't really want Into the Wild. However, I have an extra copy of a book on your wishlist which I have now posted and reserved for you. Hopefully that will not mess up the game too much.
- Kerry |

| (9 years ago) | I think I should have my name removed from the participants list because I rarely mooch from overseas anymore due to increases in postage prices that mean it usually works out cheaper to purchase a book from somewhere than to mooch internationally. I wouldn't want someone to wade through my wishlist and then for me to turn round and say that actually I didn't want the book.
- kathers | | (10 years ago) | Tagging Aspa with Nicola Upson : Angel with Two Faces (Josephine Tey Mystery 2)
- jacquie | | (10 years ago) | :) you're welcome
don't forget to actually mooch it so I can have an address to send it to :)
- Ellelarondelle | | (10 years ago) | Thanks so much Ellelarondelle. Looking forward to reading it.
- Natasha | | (10 years ago) | I tag Natasha with R.A. Salvatore : The Orc King (Transitions)
- Ellelarondelle | | (10 years ago) | Hi Melanie,
Sorry not to reply earlier, but I have been rather out of the loop lately. I am indeed interested, so please let me know and I will mooch it off you.
Thanks a lot!
Mónica
- Mosca | | (10 years ago) | Jacquie, you made my point. Email to your moochee the date the book is received. For Example: book has postmark shipp date of 01April2014, books received 15May2014. This tiny bit of info is gold to the shipper, and to other international moochers. I do use tracking numbers and first class mail, but it is no good until after delivery is made and the postal clerk logs in the information. Thanks for the input!
- drummergirl | | (10 years ago) | drummergirl,
Once we hand our parcels over to the postal service - wherever in the world it is - things are out of our hands. I send all my international packages by economy rate post, which should in theory be surface mail, yet happily most seem to be sent by airmail.
Many of the packages I receive from overseas have a French customs scanning label on them. I've no idea how long some packages might remain in customs, sometimes I receive half a dozen on the same day, from all over the world.
Packages could be held up in transit in the original country, leaving the original country, or in transit in the destination country.
It's all in the hands of the postal authorities, plus customs.
- jacquie | | (10 years ago) | To international receivers, please post to your moochee the DATE you received the book. This will help determine if the USPS tracking system is working and also whether to continue sending to your country. For example, Israel is by far taking longer than normal for delivery from the USA: this information tells me to advise new moochers from Israel to be aware of a possible 2-3 week delay for delivery. Once our global postal system has the book, we have NO control on customs houses, delivery times, delivery to correct address. Same can be said traveling to the USA. Thanks for use the soap box.
- drummergirl | | (10 years ago) | I can tag Gretchen-Ann with 'The Drowning Pool' Will email to see if its still wanted.
- Natasha | | (10 years ago) | I'm in Ontario
- Ellelarondelle | | (10 years ago) |  bio:ellelarondelle
Where in Canada are you?
- birdbrain | | (10 years ago) | Tagging rhydowen with Joanne Harris : Gentlemen and Players
- jacquie | | (10 years ago) | This sounds fun. I'd like to join.
- Natasha | | (10 years ago) | that's a cool idea. right now I do not have the points to actively participate, but I probably will eventually, *mumbles to self* now how do I remember to join when I do....
- Ellelarondelle | | (11 years ago) | so what is this thread?
- Ellelarondelle | | (11 years ago) | I definitely want! What do I do next?
And THANK YOU!! Or as we say here, 정말 감사합니다~~^^

Person in Europe mooch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Hi, angels! I really REALLY want to read Harry Potter 4, but it's in Italy and the person who has it says it costs too much to send to South Korea. He'll probably send it to someone in Europe. If you successfully mooch it from Gianmarco, and then send it to me in South Korea, I will give you 9 points: 3 for the book, 3 for sending it, and 3 for your trouble. Here is the member who has the book: bio:gianma90 Any takers?

| (10 years ago) | I've checked Gianma90's inventory, and the Harry Potter book is no longer listed. Sorry. If you find another copy that someone would be willing to send to France, I'll send it to you.

| (11 years ago) | I already received Absurdistan and I've never heard of What is the What, but I would LOVE A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. I would love to mooch it. If you need me to mooch 2 or more books form you, I will also mooch What is the What.
Sorry I didn't see your message earlier.

- birdbrain | | (11 years ago) | bio:monicap
Monica's books are their way!
bio:sam76
Samantha's are now listed in my inventory and ready for mooching!
- birdbrain | | (11 years ago) | Hi Jenn,
That would be amazing, I am definitely still interested :)
Off to check out other people's wishlists to see what I can fulfil now....
- Samantha | | (11 years ago) | :-D Yes, I am interested. I've just read The Cronoliths and I am curious about his other books. Please let me know when you add them to your inventory.

| (11 years ago) | Melanie C. I would love to get N and M from you! Thanks!
- Arianne | | (11 years ago) | Please---- there's a real shortage of good stitching books on this site (and I don't mean things like "Home and Garden: Christmas in Stitches") and clearly a real thirst for those books. When I first joined, my first few books that I listed were needlework books and they were all snatched up in a matter of hours. My inventory has been picked clean of needlework books. Please, if you see an interesting stitching/needlework/beading book at a yard sale or used book store, can you get it and post it? I guarantee it won't be sitting on your list long.
Especially you readers in Australia/new Zealand and South Africa. You probably don't realize this but you have a number of wonderful Stitchers who publish beautiful books. They are really hard to get here in America.
- Gretchen Ann | | (11 years ago) | Add my name, please?
- Ashley | | (11 years ago) | Thank you ever so.............
- Kathy Arkwright | | (11 years ago) | Oooo yes please, Melanie! Would love that book. Can't find it on your list though? Love Kathy xx
- Kathy Arkwright | | (11 years ago) | Thank you so much for all your help Melanie. It's a good job you are out there. I'd be lost without you! {:-)
- Kathy Arkwright | | (11 years ago) | @Jacquie The only way I can think of is exporting each individual wishlist and then amalgamate them in an Excel sheet. At least, that way you can quickly search for a book or author.
- Mosca | | (11 years ago) | I wish there were some way of amalgamating and displaying everyone's wishlists (with BM name against wishlisted book) to make for quicker searching. It must be a dreamy sort of day, because that doesn't seem easily possible.
- jacquie | | (11 years ago) | Thanks for adding me to the list! :)
- Arianne | | (11 years ago) | Are there any members out there who have got any of the books on my wishlist..........PLEASE??
- Kathy Arkwright | | (11 years ago) | Can my name be added to the tag game list? Thanks! (PS. Just added a couple of new books and going to be adding more this week so please come in and take a look at my inventory!!)
- Arianne | | (11 years ago) | Thank you!
- jacquie | | (11 years ago) | I am tagging bio:jacquiegatine with John Lescroart : Rasputin's Revenge Cheers,
- Kerry | | (12 years ago) | Tagging Aspa with Ann Granger : Running Scared
- jacquie | | (12 years ago) | Thanks, Kerry, for the Wizard of Evesham (a town close to where I grew up!). I've read the others though.
- jacquie | | (12 years ago) | And I can tag jacquie with M. C. Beaton : Agatha Raisin and the Wizard of Evesham (An Agatha Raisin Mystery). I have a couple other M.C.Beaton's not on your wishlist, let me know if you are interested in either of these as well.
M. C. Beaton : Agatha Raisin and the Terrible Tourist (An Agatha Raisin Mystery)
M. C. Beaton : Agatha Raisin and the Murderous Marriage (An Agatha Raisin Mystery)
Cheers,
- Kerry | | (12 years ago) | I tag Aspa with Ann Granger : Mixing With Murder~Ann Granger
- jacquie | | (12 years ago) | I tag Aspa with Alan Hunter : Gently Does It (Inspector George Gently 1)
- jacquie | | (12 years ago) | Forgot to note it here. Tagged bio:monicap with Elizabeth George : Payment in Blood (Inspector Lynley Mysteries) this morning and she's mooched it. One more gone from my TBR pile!
- jacquie | | (12 years ago) | Sorry Melanie,
I know I am being thick.............. but I still don't know how I can make the heart and the name appear on these comments when I want to tag someone.
- Kathy Arkwright | | (12 years ago) | How do I get the heart shape and the name on my comments, please?
- Kathy Arkwright | | (12 years ago) | Hi Clare,
I have 'The Queens Fool' and 'Meridon' by Philippa Gregory if you are interested. Will list them on Bookmooch with reservations for you.
Please check my inventory. Kind Regards, Kathy
- Kathy Arkwright | | (12 years ago) | Hi ItsTanya!!!!
Yes please, I would love the magazine!! I am a grown-up Barbie fan!!!
Thank you.
- Erika | | (12 years ago) | I can't find any of your wishlist books to offer but would like to be involved if I can. Would anyone be interested in Blessed is the fruit by Robert Antoni: Robert Antoni : Blessed is the Fruit (Faber Caribbean)
Review: Acclaimed Trinidadian writer Robert Antoni's second novel tells the life stories of two West Indian women: Lilla, the white mistress of a dilapidated colonial mansion, and Vel, the longtime black servant who lives with her. The two women have always kept an emotional distance by the accidents of their birth, but when Vel finds herself pregnant, Lilla puts her to bed in her own bedroom. Writing lyrically and convincingly in the voices of the two women themselves, Antoni lets them tell their life stories--a heady mixture of sex, religion, myth, and the musicality of their own inner languages. Antoni's first novel, Divina Trace won the Commonwealth Writers Prize.
- Clare | | (12 years ago) | Just searching to see who I can offer a book to and noticed that the fourth member on the list is on vacation, possibly inactive: bio:duygusu Shame as I have a book they are looking for.
Also, how do I tag someone?
- Clare | | (12 years ago) | Hi Jenn (Birdbrain), thank you so much for the offer of the books. I would definitely like to mooch them from you please. I saw my name tagged but didn't realise it was me as my username is Rhydowen so got a bit confused at first. Then I clicked my name on the list above and it slowly dawned on me!
- Clare | | (12 years ago) | Hi Melanie,
Yes, I would love to have that one! Thanks for checking!
- Kerry | | (12 years ago) | I tag Clare with:
Catherynne M. Valente : The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making
AND
Emma Donoghue : The Woman Who Gave Birth to Rabbits
Please confirm you still want these and I will list them for you.

don't think you saw my comment about the 2 Luxe novels, so am sending an email directly!
- birdbrain | | (12 years ago) | This is slightly counter-productive; every time I see a book offered that looks interesting, I add it to my wishlist ;-)
- jacquie | | (12 years ago) | I'll start this round by tagging Aspa with:
Anna Godbersen : Rumors: A Luxe Novel (The Luxe)
Anna Godbersen : Envy: A Luxe Novel (The Luxe)
Please LMK if you want these and I will list them for you.

| (12 years ago) | Karlene - I think BMID is a Book Mooch ID. Took me a while to figure it out.
- Clare | | (12 years ago) | What is BMID?
- Karlene | | (12 years ago) | @ Gerri, Received the book and the extra cd today, thanks so much! Actually though it was Robin who mentioned that she likes to listen to David Sedaris so I will offer to send David Sedaris : David Sedaris Live at Carnegie Hall to her. I appreciate the thought though!
- Kerry | | (12 years ago) | Not to worry, I'll sort something out :)
- Mosca | | (12 years ago) | Ah no, sorry. Is the US too far to send?
- Robin | | (12 years ago) | Do you still have an address in Germany?
- Mosca | | (12 years ago) | Sure! I'm not usually picky about HB vs. PB.
Thanks!
- Robin | | (12 years ago) | @Robin Are you interested in a paperback copy of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay? It is a bit worn, but still very readable.
- Mosca | | (12 years ago) | Hi Jenni,
Yes please post & reserve Kathi Appelt : The Underneath & I will mooch it. Many thanks
- Gerri | | (12 years ago) | @Jacquie, I have a nice copy of Buckingham Palace Gardens by Anne Perry, but it's a paperback not a hardback. Would you be interested?
- Mosca | | (12 years ago) | Gerri
I have an ARC of Kathi Appelt : The Underneath if you'd like it.

- Gerri | | (12 years ago) | I'm not having much luck searching through these lists, so I thought I'd offer a couple of books whose authors pop up fairly frequently - but not the titles I have. Maybe mine are early titles, I don't know.
If anyone would like:
Undead and Unreturnable by Maryjanice Davidson
or
Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris, just give me a shout.
Meanwhile I'll keep searching :)
- DubaiReader | | (12 years ago) | Gerri, I have sent you another request if it's convenient Thanks a lot

- Kathy Arkwright | | (12 years ago) | Hey! What has happened to this forum?????????????
- Kathy Arkwright | | (12 years ago) | Thank you so much Melanie. Really would love this book.
- Kathy Arkwright | | (12 years ago) | I tag Mosca with John Sandford : Rules of Prey (Lucas Davenport Mysteries) - reserved for you!
- jacquie | | (12 years ago) | Thanks Jacquie
- Mosca | | (12 years ago) | I tag Mosca with Bruce Alexander : Watery Grave (Sir John Fielding) - reserved for you!
- jacquie | | (12 years ago) | What a lovely surprise!Thank you Melanie, I have mooched it.
- kathers | | (12 years ago) | Thanks to skiving off to drop in at an Anglophone section booksale this afternoon, I've managed to tag Mosca with 'Say it with poison' and list several other wishlisted books. How much will it take before people say that BM is no longer stalled?
- jacquie | | (12 years ago) | Thanks Kerry. I did that but unfortunately/fortunately Peta already has this book!! Well, I tried!
- Kathy Arkwright | | (12 years ago) | Kathy, all you need to do is post the book and reserve it for Peta (enter her BM id (peta158) in the reserve for field. I generally use the email recommendation feature in case they do not check this forum regularly.
- Kerry | | (12 years ago) | I'd like to tag Peta (how do I do that?) as I have a copy of 'The Poe Shadow' by Matthew Pearl in excellent condition. Kathy
- Kathy Arkwright | | (12 years ago) | I have tagged Michal_Nancy with Connie Willis : Blackout by Connie Willis.
- Kerry | | (12 years ago) | Woohoo! Thanks, Peta!
- birdbrain | | (12 years ago) | Thanks Peta!
- Mosca | | (12 years ago) | I tag Peta with Kenneth Grahame : Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance+Now with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem! and Jim Butcher : Small Favor (The Dresden Files, Book 10). Both have been added to my inventory and reserved for you for 14 days.

- birdbrain | | (12 years ago) | What a brilliant idea!! I would do the same but I have such a huge TBR list I wouldn't have time to list them all...........but I will check out other people's wishlists and see if I can help.
- Kathy Arkwright | | (12 years ago) | How about if I give you all access to my TBR piles (http://www.librarything.com/profile/cougargirl1967) and then you could give me an idea what to put on top of my pile!
I have a lot less time online since I moved so I'll let you all browse for yourself. Although I have to warn you, I have books across 2 states, so some will get read quicker. :-)

"Born to Sing, Forced to Work"
- Sonja | | (12 years ago) | To the contrary I have a pile of books that I have not listed because with 270+ points I do not need more points BUT if I see someone on here looking for a book I will ask if they want to mooch it then post & reserve it for them.
Everybody has their own way of Bookmooching.
Happy Mooching to all
Gerri 07
- Gerri | | (12 years ago) | @Stephanie - I agree that "if I am willing to get rid of a book, I have already listed it"; yes, I have a permanent inventory of over 200 books.
However, knowing that a fellow BookMoocher is very very interested in one of the books on my TBR list may make me bump it to nearer the top of my reading list. And I'll dare to say even more so if that is someone with whom I've exchanged books in the past.
Whatever we do that might make books circulate more within a very sluggish BM is welcome, especially to those of us who have no choice but to send and receive internationally.
- jacquie | | (12 years ago) | Well I will certainly do my best and go through all my books. Chance to get them dusted LOL ! Kathy
- Kathy Arkwright | | (12 years ago) | It started out as a “tag” game where the person who gave a book would be next in line to get a book, but there were so few participants that we started a “free for all” where any group member can tag another. It works best with large wishlists; small and/or esoteric wishlists, less so. Having more people participate improves the odds that you will score one or more wishlist hits.
Over the past year, BookMooch activity has slowed down so this is a way to get things moving again. There are lots of people who aren’t adding new books because they have lots of points but can’t find anything to spend them on. When people join this game, the group members browse each other’s wishlists and when they have someone’s wishlisted book, they offer it up to that person, i.e. the book owner initiates the mooch. And, since that’s the intent of the group, no one feels like they are being pressured or being stalked. In a small way, it gets books back into the system.
Jenn aka birdbrain
- birdbrain | | (12 years ago) | @duygu - I've put your name against the following on my TBR list:

- Mosca | | (12 years ago) | @Mosca, the following are on my TBR list; I've noted to reserve them for you once I've read them, but there'll be a wait... but just to let you know that they will become available at sometime

- Lawrence Block : The Thief Who Couldn't Sleep (Evan Tanner Mystery)
- Harlan Coben : Just One Look
- Lionel Davidson : The Chelsea Murders - there is a moochable copy available
- P.C. Doherty : An Ancient Evil (Canterbury Tales Mysteries 1)
- Christopher Fowler : Full Dark House: A Peculiar Crimes Unit Mystery - I had to buy a copy to get this, and having read it put it into BM and sent it to isambardcat recently, you could see whether s/he'll reserve that copy for you when finished
- John Harvey : Gone to Ground
- P. D. James : An Unsuitable Job for a Woman - there are copies available to mooch though
- Val McDermid : The Grave Tattoo
- Val McDermid : Distant Echo

- Clotel | | (13 years ago) | better take me off the list. I'm having to halt all incoming packages for a few weeks.
- Robin | | (13 years ago) | Thanks to Mosca and Jenni, I've mooched your books now!
- SLim | | (13 years ago) | @ SLim
Both books are listed and reserved for you:,br

- Jenni Canuck | | (13 years ago) | Happy to send it! I have it reserved for you at Julie E. Czerneda : A Thousand Words for Stranger (Daw Book Collectors)
- Mosca | | (13 years ago) | @Mosca and Jenni Canuck:
Thank you so much for offering, I am so, so, so, sorry I haven't responded as I've been away!
Would it be very bad form for me to accept BOTH your offers now? *blush* Because I would love those books, if they're still available but I don't want to mess up the game (more than I already have :P)
Thanks!
Sophie
- SLim | | (13 years ago) | Lovely surprise! I have mooched both, thank you
- Mosca | | (13 years ago) | I tag Mosca with:
Stephen Chbosky : The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Rawi Hage : De Niro's Game
Different editions from what you have on your wishlist but both in very good condition and yours if you want them.
- birdbrain | | (13 years ago) | SLim, would you be interested in Julie E. Czerneda : A Thousand Words for Stranger (Daw Book Collectors)? It is not a HB, but a paperback and is very well-used (creases, tanning, small tears in back cover) but readable.
- Mosca | | (13 years ago) | I tag Mary H with The Bill from My Father. I'll reserve it for you!
Sonja
- Sonja | | (13 years ago) | woo hoo! Thanks so much, kathers

I really have to go to bed now, but I'll be back tomorrow to see what I can offer. I'm short of books to post out right now !!

I have 2 of your wishlisted books:
Holly Black : Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale
Jeff Lindsay : Darkly Dreaming Dexter (signed by author)
Let me know if you would like one or both listed for you.
- Jenni Canuck | | (13 years ago) | @ Mosca: Obviously you and birdbrain were communicating telepathically and I expect Robin will probably be delighted :-)
I'm going to check out some wishlists to see whether I can join this Free for All.
- Jenni Canuck | | (13 years ago) | I inadvertently tagged Robin yesterday with Left hand of darkness, oops
- Mosca | | (13 years ago) | 111127 Update:
