Book exchange?

herne
By herne

Hello everyone! :)

Would you like to have a book exchange? There was one before, but I wasn't in Qatar that time, so if many of you have books for exchanging, we could organize something!
So what do you think?

have been taking advantage of a 'book drop' on 2nd floor of friends appartments, someone has set up a bookcase and people just come along donate, pick up and return books as they wish.

Be good if we could have one drop off point - but meeting regularly would do it - let me know if Monday is on

and it's only good to get rid of those things you don't want (for pscyhotherapy), but things you want you shouldn't give away. I don't want to destroy the soul piece of anybody. :)

Hi guys;

Sorry, I was having a lunch break, but I'm glad so many fo you liked the idea!

No problem, lending is fine as well! :)

Azilana, for example I have the HP6 I might exchange that one with you to have your full collection!

So when you guys would like to meet up?

Monday is fine, or if it's not good for all of you, we can make it Thursday evening, whatever suits you guys.

Darude, here I am in Doha! (for 2 and half more months more)

Darude great idea but fix the time after 8PM.

we can meet and fix the rules and regulations for exchanging the books.Exchange our ph.Number also.One week is the time for reading books and books should not be damaged.If the people want to return back before oneweek he has to return the same to the selected nominee( We call him/her as book care taker)

How about my point of view friends"?

We coulkd meet up...and bring a number of books we could lend out. Then all agree to meet again after 2-3 weeks to return what we borrowed and get what we lent out.

Surely we could exchange contact numbers in case we want to return it before scheduled meet-up or if the person who borrowed the book didn't return it on time.

Like me who have all 7 Harry Potter books, and lost the 6 because someone forgot to return it, I too would be hesitant to lend any books that I have.

sometimes letting go of some stuff is therapeutic aside from this is a form of sharing your knowledge as well...yet, there were still plenty of options to choose if you were married to your books already...

Herne,

providing this idea, i want to call you sweet honey sorry over excited.i am also a book lover.We can assemble in one place we can borrow or lend books to Qlrs and with some conditions.the books should be with in--- days.Books should not be missed/tear/damaged.Books should not have any ugly comments.

Books could not be used as a post box( romance ! ha ha )

Etc etc, how about other ideas.

Could you mention what kind of books you'd like to exchange? I'm a self-confessed fan of pulp fiction. Give me a Jeffrey Archer or a Wilbur smith or a Matthew Reilly and you wouldn't have me back for another three days at least.

Please do lemme know what kinda books you interested in. It sounds like an exciting plan.

Hi, I'm fond of books and own a few hundred, most of them are in Urdu. I do not want to exchange the books, nonetheless I'm willing to lend them to the interested readers who would return to me after reading.
