book swap!
Hey folks, I have an idea. I want to do a community book swap. The theme is how-to-farm. All the books shared in this swap should be useful information on how to grow food: be it animal or vegetable. It'll go like this. The first person to comment (with their email address) will be emailed by me tonight and I'll get their address. This week, I will mail a book from my library and it is theirs to keep. I'll include a letter about me and my farm, telling them about my own dreams and goals. They will in turn contact the second person to comment in this post and do the same for them. And so on.Everyone who comments on this post with an email address, saying they are in on the gift-giving will receive a book and a letter from the commenter above them. It is your responsibility to email the person after you to collect their mailing information, and perhaps ask what they need information on? But all of us will take part in sharing information and our dreams. It's an exercise in hope, faith, and goodwill. The last person to comment, I hope, will send me a book. This way the circle is complete and all of us can look forward to a happy package in the coming days, a letter from a fellow sufferer of Barnheart, a friend. It's what the mail is supposed to be used for.

Heck, why not. (^: I'm in. Oh, and I just wanted to make sure everyone knows about "media mail" through the regular post office... if you're mailing a book/CD/DVD etc tell them to send it media mail and its WAY cheaper!

I still haven't heard from mine and I gotta say I am disappointed so far. I've contacted who I will be sending a book to and I am happy to get at least that much out of this. But still sorely disappointed. I like stuff like this and really never get a change to participate. Perhaps I've not been missing anything.
Hey-
no worries, I know it will all work out... :-) Just wanted to clarify -for myself and probably for others...
courtney posted first, so technically should get swap from Jenna. But she didn't post an email... Then down the list she did post an email. Then later Jenna wanted to know what her email is... so if she's keeping her first spot, then andi and kurt should contact fawn, but if she's keeping her second spot, andi and kurt should contact courtney and courtney should contact fawn. In which case I'd get a book from Jenna!
I was just wondering how we want this to work out, since it impacts a few folks, and might be contributing to why unhappybirthday hasn't heard back yet.
@ unhappybirthday - hang in there, your swap buddy will contact you... maybe they're just on 'farm time' :-)
Jasmine, I sent my book to courtney, since she was the post just below me. it is the person right below you.
OK Jenna, does this mean I will be sending you the book I picked out? How long will you leave this post open in other words?
Christee,
If you're out there your email keeps coming back undelivered when I try to request your address. Did you type your email correctly?
azgrneyz@hotmail.com
Hope to hear from you!
Am I too late? I'm in. I have a couple I could send. fscantunes@gamil.com
You are absolutely right on with your ideas.
Peace and Blessings!
I'M also in

I have not heard from Lisa, yet. hovnhnd@yahoo.com. If I don't hear from her, who do I send my book to?
Oh geez, I'm really late for catching up on this! But I hope I can be counted in. aelfswythe[at]gmail[dot]com
Book sent to "Unhappybirthday" media mail. Ought to be arriving on 28 July. I put tracking on it.
