Fabulous Book Swap

Reading a good book with a cup of tea is a perfect moment for me. Perfection does not come along that often so when it does I savor it. I read a wide variety of books – romance, chick-lit, decor, vampire, self-help, fitness, biographies, cooking, business, architectural, French – and there’s also a  variety of books I stay away from – sci-fi, “graphic novels”*, sex-tantric, war – just to name a few.

I love discovering a new book – I have a GoodReads account, which has some of my recent reads on it, and I use it to find other good books as well. Amazon always shows you books ‘you might like’ along with the one you’re looking at, and friends always are sure to give good advice on what to read. My favourite way of finding a book? Simply stumbling along through the covers at the bookstore – picking up something because of the title or the cover or the name of the author. A simple flip through will let you know how interested you might be in it.

I thought it would be simply fabulous to host a book swap, I’ve been part of it before and I always enjoyed reading a random book that someone had sent me!

The Rules

1. E-mail me your info at fabbrunette@gmail.com or leave a comment on this post with your email by February 20th, 2010.

2. I will then randomly choose someone for you to send a book to – I will email you with all the information and all books should be sent out by February 28th, 2010.

3. Not a must, but if you have a blog spread the world about the blog swap by placing this button on your sidebar and linking it back to this page! It comes in two sizes for your fabulous convenience.

So send me your information if your interested! I can’t wait for something new to read!

xoxo

    I would love to do this too :)
    I just joined goodreads, didn't know a site like that existed lol thanks!!!
  • tallnlucky
    I'm in!
  • I may be asking a really stupid question but do we send a random book or our favorite book to the person you select for us? Do we return the book?
  • I would think it would be easier to just send a random book and not expect it back. Don't send your favourite book, send a book you've enjoyed and would like to share with someone else. If you would like it back I would send a note with your address asking for it back :)
  • Thanks for explaining. It makes sense to not have to return the book. It's a great idea to get something in the mail and to also be introduced to a new author. I'm definitely in - blarknessmail@gmail.com

    I would LOVE to!
