I was a giver last year, do you know if I have to re-apply or do I get an email from them to apply again.0 -

I got an email from them stating the above as in my first post...I think you all have to go through the application process judging by this line:
Givers will be chosen based on where, to whom and why you want to give the books
I really enjoyed it last year so Im hoping I get picked again!..
I do note tho that it is half the number of books this year - Still a great concept in my opinion!...

this looks really interesting!
definitely going to apply0 -
Thanks koolkatsaffi, I've signed up.
I won tickets to attend the meeting in Trafalgar Square, which also got me a t-shirt, but I misunderstood the concept and didn't bring any books! I felt SO embarrassed.
If you want to go straight to the application form (though the site seems pretty quick now) then go here.
I hope MSErs will be out in force. Life's what you make it....

Life beyond voluntary work scares me, but what else is there?

I did this last year, it was 44 books I think, 24 this year which is much more sensible!
Some odd choices this year in my opinion, but then again would be very dull if we all liked the same thing."If you see someone without a smile, give them yours.":DMiss Mona, The Best Little *****house in Texas0 -
Site up and running again! I've just applied. Fingers crossed.0
