This is the first email swap I've ever joined. I really like snail mail, but I love reading books and talking about books so I couldn't resist.

user2637 03/13/2013 #

Hiya. Can you tell me what "Bad book habit" means please? It's #4.

LindaRichards 03/13/2013 #

@user2637 maybe it means like "dog earring" the pages or setting a drink on the book cover as a coaster or something like that, or buying too many books?

StacyReneeArt 03/13/2013 #

Thank you, Linda. :) Yes, it could mean any of those things. Maybe you borrow books from friends and never return them? Or always keep a book from the library for too long and end up having to pay late fees? Maybe you like to eat while reading and get fingerprints all over books?

user2637 03/13/2013 #

Ah, okay. Thanks.

Thank you to everyone who joined and put this swap on the Top Swaps list! :)

Hey, I'm just answering the questions and I'm stuck at the "comfort zone" ones. After answering them I realised I might have got it wrong. Do you mean the place where you read by comfort zone or the kind of book you read?

StacyReneeArt 03/16/2013 #

@Fever - I personally answered it as 'what kind of book I read' but you are free to interpret the questions in whatever way you feel comfortable with. Also, partners have been assigned. I apologize for not getting them up sooner. I was gone all day.
