Free for All - Part 2

Thread continued here: Free for All - Part 3

The old thread goes on forever and ever and takes an eternity to load so I think it's time to start a fresh one! I've copied the general info below.

Someone asked off-thread if it was okay to request a 2-mooch minimum for international shipments and I think, considering the postage costs, that's perfectly fine. The only complication I can think of is that this probably means offering two wishlisted books. Your thoughts?

~~~~begin old message~~~~

In an attempt to get unstuck, let’s do a Free for All. Check out the wishlists of the moochers who have subscribed to this forum -- maybe we can grant some wishes while trying to maintain the international aspect :0

With any luck, this will generate a flurry of activity that will get noticed by more moochers who will then rush to join our group. *sending out positive vibes while keeping fingers crossed*

New to the tag game? Post a message here when you join and I can add the link to your wishlist. Also, because messages randomly disappear, it's a good idea to sign up to receive forum messages by email and to include your BMID in your message.

This is slightly counter-productive; every time I see a book offered that looks interesting, I add it to my wishlist ;-)

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!

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

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.

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.

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!!)

Are there any members out there who have got any of the books on my wishlist..........PLEASE??
Kathy Arkwright

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

@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.

Thank you so much for all your help Melanie. It's a good job you are out there. I'd be lost without you! {:-)

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.
