It's time to sign up for the 2024 Book Circle! Please post in this thread or PM me to join.
Whether or not you've been in the circle before, why not take a chance on it in 2024? You don't have to finish every book, you can say if one wasn't for you, but give it a go and you never know what unexpected gems you might find!
Circle members so far:

cornishgirl3 (Mary)
sarita (I will send to Sarita, so no one else will need to send outside the UK)

1. Choose a book you think might appeal across the board/or maybe one to take other circlers out of their comfort zone/or even your favourite read - up to you. Please no books from a series, unless it's the first in the series.
2. Under 300 pages is good, because we all have a lot of books to read and no-one needs to be under pressure. It's also cheaper to post a thin book. Stick to second class, large letter postage, where possible.
3. Check the list of all the previous circle books to see if your book has been sent before:
readitswapit.freeforums.net/thread/229/master-list-book-circle-updated
PM me with the details of the book you would like to send, so that I can check around, see who is sending what, which members are in the circle etc. I will let you know if it's OK or not, in case you need to choose another.
4. Please PM me your full name and address, your email address, and the title & author of your book before January.
5. Sometime in January I will PM you the name and address of the circler that you will send to each month.
6. Please send your book to that circler around the end of January, to arrive in the first week of February. Please insert a card large enough to contain everyone's comments on the book, and you'll get that back with your book at the end.
7. You should receive a book from the circler sending to you within the first week of February, and thereafter the first week of each month till the end. Please try and keep to this timetable, and let me know if you cannot, due to holidays or whatever. Also - please PM me each month to say "book has arrived".
8. Please stick to sending on just one book a month. If you finish one early, wait until the end of the month to send it, otherwise it gets confusing!
9. If anything goes wrong, for example if a book gets lost, please let me know by PM as soon as possible, so we can sort it out.
