I inadvertently tagged  Robin yesterday with Left hand of darkness, oops
|
|
|
|
| | |
|
@ 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.

What a great idea!
And thanks to Kerry for tagging me :)
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 !!

Lovely surprise! I have mooched both, thank you

@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

hey everyone, i'd like to join!
i usually only have a few books up at a time, but i try to get a few new ones on every month.
my wishlist and inventory are (usually) mainly young adult books and some (non-ya) romance and fantasy, in case you want to check it out!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
|
|
I'd like to join - my wishlist is enormous!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'd like to join too.........I love looking for books for other people and you never know I might get something from my own wishlist at the same time!!! {:-)

Welcome to the new participants, the more the merrier :)

That's great Jacquie, let me know when you have them. I also have The black echo, from your wishlist (and will have the following books when I am done reading them)
|
|
|
|

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.

Well I will certainly do my best and go through all my books. Chance to get them dusted LOL ! Kathy
|
|
|
|

@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.

|

|

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

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. :-)

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, 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.

Thanks Kerry. I did that but unfortunately/fortunately Peta already has this book!! Well, I tried!

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?

Gerri, I have sent you another request if it's convenient Thanks a lot
|
|
|
|
| | |

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 :)

Karlene - I think BMID is a Book Mooch ID. Took me a while to figure it out.
