    Just want to mention that the site must be busy as it is very slow at the moment and is prone to getting a bit stuck!...;)

    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.

    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!...    :)

    I can't get the site to load at all. I presume it's very busy.

    Thats prob cos with some titles ppl had trouble getting rid. I know I did with the rubbish they allocated me instead of my choice.

    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. :o

    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. :)

    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.
