| (10 years ago) | Australian BookMoochers - Hello
Just joined and plan to give this online book-loving community a try for a few months. Not entirely sure (yet) how active the Australian members are.
See how we go.
Feel free to connect.
Best Regards,
Craig
- CraigHodges | | (12 years ago) | Hi again Kim,
If you are still wondering about how to create a new forum message on the Aussie Moochers forum.....on the main 'Australian Moochers' forum page there is a drop down menu on top right of screen, click on 'write new message', enter your subject heading, and then the message.
Hope that helps :)
HeyJupiter. (again, LOL!)
- HeyJupiter. | | (12 years ago) | Hi Kim,
To change your status to 'Ask First'.....on your member home page click on 'account', then 'profile', and towards the bottom, just before the red security code you should see a drop down menu titled 'I am willing to send books to' and that's where you can select 'ask first'. Then just save your profile.
Hope that helps :)
HeyJupiter.
- HeyJupiter. | | (13 years ago) | Hi
Yeah I've noticed the same thing lately. That things are getting a bit slow on the Aussie side. Maybe because you can no longer filter recently added to Australia. I started a forum here for aussies to post their recently added books.
I liked your ideas about spreading the word through blogs etc. I'm a member of Goodreads.com so I might put something on the aussie forum there.

Peter Corris books
Sorry to crash your forum folks, but I wanted to ask and this seemed as good a place as any... I have a number of Peter Corris titles waitlisted and I am wondering if any of you have some copies lying around that you didn't know other folks wanted? Or if someone would be willing to check a used bookstore for cheap, readable copies for a US fan? Thanks for listening and sorry for the interruption.

Hi, I just joined yesterday. I live in Adelaide and read historical fiction, travel literature, biographies/memoirs, and the occasional easy read like an Anita Shreve or a Jodi Piccoult.

Recently added Aussie books
Is anyone else experiencing difficulties in loading the recently added books for Australia feature?
I have enjoyed using this and picked up some good books but when I click on this in the past few days I am getting a blank screen.
Happy mooching and hope to hear from you soon.

Yeah for about the past week, I've had the same thing. I really liked using it to look for new Aussie books available.
I wonder if its a bookmooch or twitter issue?

| (12 years ago) | I'm not in Australia or the US but deal with books in a wide variety of languages (Welsh, Tagalog, Hungarian, French, German, Dutch, Latin etc..) and find it easier to look up ISBN and ASINs on Goodreads (or Librarything may also help) and then put the ISBN into BM. If it is not listed on any Amazon anywhere it will still not show up, as that is the data base BM use.
The solution then is to add it to your inventory manually, copy and paste the number to a text document and immediately remove it from your inventory. Then the listing is registered on Bookmooch and you should be able to list or wishlist under the number it has assigned to the book, by copying and pasting it into the browse feature. If your settings allow for "related books" the title should then show if someone adds a copy.
I tried adding it under the number you gave first, but that does not work. It looks to me as if there is a mistake in the original number as it should have had either 10 or 13 digits and had 14.
I've just done that and the number now assigned to it is BM1345882692465121081
(I added it under my personal account tennantfamily UK and my journal library bmjl - so both of those are not real entries and have been removed!)
Hope that helps you!
- Bookmooch Journal Library Charity | | (13 years ago) | thank you
- hawkrave | | (13 years ago) | Sorry thought you could hand enter for your wishlist but this feature must be for your inventory only.
I will keep my eyes out for this book for you!
- Diana | | (13 years ago) | I do not know where to hand enter to wish list tried a hand enter but it went in my inventory and took it out
- hawkrave | | (13 years ago) | Above I have all the info but this ispn does not work to find the book.
THat is why I was wondering where you buy your books fom as do not see an amzon that fits your area.

by Kathy Helidoniotis
ISBN 97807322900097
It's Term 3 at Linley, and Ashleigh demonstrates a natural ability for teaching the younger girls. When Claire Carlson, her impossible room-mate, reveals an amazing artistic talent, the two girls connect for the first time. Meanwhile, Ash is introduced to endurance riding and falls head over tail in love with the sport, competing for Linley with her beloved mare Honey. Emily is finally allowed to take formal riding lessons at Linley and she, Ash and Ricki take on India and her posse at the end-of-term funkhana.
Back in Shady Creek, Becky has lost the fight to save the Riding Club, and she and Ash are heartbroken as they stand by and watch as Gary′s office is bulldozed. But the club is miraculously saved by Mrs Mac, who offers them a new home at Shady Trails. Shady Creek Riding Club will live forever.
Ash comes to realise that changes, while sometimes unexpected and unwelcome, can often help us to grow.
- hawkrave | | (13 years ago) | I've found information about this title on the Harper Collins publishers site but the ISBN isn't coming up on Amazon. Not sure how to help unless you hand enter the details for your wishlist.

Bookmooch Journalling
Hello! Come join the Bookmooch Journal Project, a traveling art journals project! This is something that has been going for some time now, complete with its own blog and a hosting system to track the journals! We’re always looking for more Bookmooch members to join us and help make the project more exciting. It is based on the general Bookmooch concept of getting books you want and sending books you don’t, but rather than mooching just books you may use your points to mooch traveling art and other journals. A Bookmooch journal is a book that someone has created and then sent out to other users to make an entry of one or a few pages. When you get one, you have two weeks to add your contribution and relist as one of the books in your inventory on Bookmooch. Then someone else can mooch it form you and when it is completed it will be sent back to the original creator. You can also make your own new journal and have other people make entries! Search for journals using this keyword: BMJournal Come join the journey. Thanks for participating from the folks at the Bookmooch Journal Project (http://bookmoochjournals.com/about/) and the Bookmooch Journal Library Charity ( bio:bmjl)
