I'd like to swap them with any books of more or less the same genre - sci-fi, comedy, thrillers, action-adventure, funny chick lit, anything goes, except romance, serious philosophical stories :rolleyes: , fantasy stories where donkeys have wings and fish are magical creatures :P and err, horror stories :unsure: .

BUMP!

Anybody want my sole chick lit on offer (Citizen Girl by Nicola Kraus and Emma McLaughlin) for another chick lit (or anything else)?

I'm desperate for a book, all that's left unread on our shelf are DH's financial management and literature books (ugh over my dead body).

Awww, poor little blueberry, I'm into fantasy and sci-fi, but I keep all the books I buy, and borrough the rest on the library. But I could give you tons of good titles and authors within fantasy/sci-fi. Try Anne McCaffrey or Steven King or Tamora Pierce (shes strickly fantasy) :D

I would NEVER read Stephen King even if you put a gun to my head (I have a wild imagination, I won't be able to sleep for weeks if I read one of his books) and I'm not really into fantasy (so LOTR doesn't really appeal to me), just pure sci-fi (robots, spaceships, distant stars etc).
