Description:

I absolutely love books…I also love lists so I thought why not combine the two. In this swap, make a list of your 25 fav books (or more). Include the title, name and comment why it’s one of your favorite books….Make sure to count book series as one. Then choose one book from your list and send it off to 1 partner. That way you can share your favorites and maybe it’ll become one of your partner’s! Super easy!!

Used books are fine, but please make sure it is in good condition.

For hearts, how about a bookmark? Some hot chocolate or tea? Or warm fuzzy socks? It's up to you....

Quick Summary:

  1. List of 25 (or more) favorite books
  2. One book from the list

The RULES: Those with a rating of 4.85 + allowed. Newbies with full profile welcome. Hey…you have to start some where. No flakers.

This is for USA only to keep expenses down. If there's enough interest, there might be an international version soon.

Most of all - HAVE FUN sharing! And feel free to pm me if you have any questions.

Awesome swap...thanks so much for letting me know about it!! I can't wait! :-)

I think this is a great idea. When I get my partner, I will double check to see if they have read the book I plan to send, prior to sending it. Some of us read so much, it would be nice to get something we have not already read. THANKS for doing this one.

What if we can't think of 25 books we have read but there are 25 that we want to read and we have read atleast a few of those 25? or there is something of the 25 on that list? :-) This sounds so fun but I can't think of 25 books that I have read-I know that is sad and I LOVE to read too. It is my goal to read more this year..actually 25 books or more:-)

@bluemerleboutique - Glad to have you join!!! I can't wait either...my book is waiting for a new home =)

@maestraw - Thanks for joining and for sharing the great tip. I usually do the same and check my partner's profile, or if I am lucky, their goodreads acct. (i LOVE goodreads.com - you can check your books your partner has read and books they want to read.)

I'm so excited about this swap! You sound exactly like me.. a book lover/list fiend. haha. I've already written my list of 25 favorite books!

@fosho - Glad to have you join the swap!

Thanks for the information about goodreads. I will check it out. I normally read 100 books or more each year, so someone will have to work hard to find one I have not read. LOL! I am currently working on my list. I have 15 listed so far. Maybe we could e-mail our lists to the participants who are not our partners.

maestraw 02/22/2009 #

I just joined goodreads.com. Thanks for suggesting it.

Mom2blu 02/23/2009 #

I'll have to check out goodreads.

Here's a strange question: I tend to read a lot of non-fiction research reference how-to type books. would it be strange to do the swap and send one of those? Or is everyone pretty much expecting a novel?

Erdbeersternchen 02/24/2009 #

Oh no! It's not internation. Boohooo. I vote for an international one. ; )

trvLjunkie 02/25/2009 #

@Mom2blu - I believe mostly everyone is expecting a novel...sorry I didn't clarify @Erdbeersternchen - I'd love to run this swap again in the future and include international as well. Thanks for showing some interest! @maestraw - Glad to have you join goodreads!!!

DebP 02/26/2009 #

so it is to be a fictional novel? And our list should be fiction too?

Soon2BMC 02/26/2009 #

I'm always looking for a good book! Off to make my list!

bluemerleboutique 02/26/2009 #

I'm so sorry, but I'm going to have to drop out this time...sorry again but good luck with your swap Cheryl! Hope everyone gets great books and lists! :-)
