For my books she (or mommy or daddy) can write on the inside cover ('cuz I'll lose notes and I'd like to keep em) and it doesn't have to be anything more than her name and date. There's kind of a reason behind the inside cover thing for me, inspired by an old family book from my Mom. <br /><br />So, we'll send the loaners back when we can (like with the next month's book) and the new ones are bought with the recipient in mind - like I'd get to go find a cute little book for Zo to keep on alternate months? Or if you want the new books back we can do that too, but I kind of like the idea of having someone other than us buy Noah a book every couple months because you will make different choices. I mean, buying our kids a new book (at least) every two months is something we'd do anyways, so this way they still get a new book - it's just coming from friends. We can post on our blogs each month how the new book went down (even just a quick mention) with the kids so we can get ideas on what types the other likes best.<br /><br />For the loaners, even though Zoey is older than Noah I still have lots for her age group (I have no control in Chapters), so she won't be stuck with baby books meant for him.Telliehttp://www.sixthandelm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137639914423058493.post-37650835024332778752010-01-29T06:59:22.763-05:002010-01-29T06:59:22.763-05:00I LOVE that idea...
Okay, it's official...Feb...I LOVE that idea...<br /><br />Okay, it's official...Feb 1st we must both grab a book and slap it in the post. <br /><br />Let's do this...<br /><br />1 old book, on loan...and when you're done with it you have to write a note inside (if there's no room for a note then you can always just chuck in a note on some paper, maybe use it as a bookmark or somethin...<br /><br />1 book that's new...gotta be less than $15<br /><br />Alternate months, and the loaners make their way way whenever they can...<br /><br />We could even make old school library cards and those cool library check out pocket for the backs of our books! Or buy 'em somewhere. Way more cool to make though...<br /><br />Ooooooh, I like.<br /><br />Okay...amend this plan as you see fit, then Feb 1st let's ship out a new book. March 1st an old one, April 1, new...<br />May 1, old...<br />June 1, new...<br />July 1, old...<br />Aug 1, new...<br />Sept 1, old...<br />Oct 1, new...<br />Nov 1, old...<br />Dec 1, new! for Christmas!!<br /><br />Then we'll evaluate our efforts before 2011 starts...Maybe refine it a little, maybe pull some others into the mix?

It's weird because I think they're a little bible-y anyways so I am not sure why my subconscious decided they were that important.<br /><br />A lot of Noah's books are my old ones and a while ago I started asking people to write their name in the inside cover if they gave me a book, or borrowed one of mine. A book is better when it has experience, and it's kind of fun to see the book's history. Next time we're in town we should try to do a book lending swap with books of Zoey's that she is too old for and books Noah has that he is too young for still. Or maybe we could just mail each other a couple books every few months and then when we mail them back we can mail a new one at the same time. I don't know any other parents who would appreciate doing something like that, and it might be fun.<br />TellieTelliehttp://www.sixthandelm.comnoreply@blogger.com
