Can someone tell me..... does the 8 weeks still rule?

 

Can I activate books as I read them?   What Happens if I haven't read a book in the 8 week time?

I actually didn't know there was an 8 weeks rule.

Personally, I always delete the books from the list when I receive them because I know it is unlikely I will read them straight away and also, I may well pass them onto others so they never get swapped again.  If I do decide to re-swap a book I prefer to list it from scratch, that way I can be sure the description is accurate.

This is news to me too!  I always delete swaps from my inactive list and re-list when I want to swap again to make sure the book is listed accurately.

Oh, must have misread the instructions before joining!

 

 

Very happy to follow your rule!

 

Delete the book until I decide to add to my swaps.

 

 

Again. I thank you both

What's the 8 week rule?

I never delete mine and haven't done so for 2 years now so don't worry about it.   I'm intrigued by this 8 week rule though, Mandy and I are just too nosy!!

Sorry!

This was a rule by a different web page.

I thought that it also applied here

But it does not!

I don't think I've heard of the 8 week rule before either...

Thanks for letting us know, I thought we'd all missed something major!

No you probably havent.

 

The rule was.... when you swopped a book it remained inactive for 8 weeks....then it was made active irrespectively.

 

I saw that on one of the sites....And ASSUMED  that it was applicable here.

 

Fortuantly it is not!

 

Val;

I'm glad this rule isn't active here. There areplanty of books it takes me more than 8 weeks to get around to reading! And what about the keeps? It seems to be a silly rule to me.

Can you imagine an 8 week rule on here with the size of some peoples TBR. 

Yes I could'nt agree more!

 

 

But tell me what exactly is TBR?

 

obviously books to read?

cheers

 

Yes, it stands for "to be read." There's a section on the forum where people can post their TBR lists to keep track of them and to hear other people's opinions of them.
