Description:

Books, books, books! There is a definite lack of book swaps compared to others, so I decided to start a new swapping series.

Thrift and bargain stores are always a good place to find hidden treasures, especially books! It might take a little looking, but you almost always uncover something interesting.

FOR THIS SWAP, you will send one (1) book to one (1) partner. You should find a place that sells cheap secondhand books (Goodwill, for example). Find a fiction novel that stands out on the shelf and looks interesting. The goal is to judge it by its cover; make it something you'd be likely to grab for yourself, not something that looks boring. Try to stay away from popular books you could buy at a grocery store. Paperback is preferred since it's cheaper to ship but not mandatory.

Send something you'd like to receive. Worn books are fine, but make sure it isn't missing pages. Also, be courteous and don't send someone a book from a series unless it's the first.

Rated users with a 4.8 or higher. Participants must have a decent amount of rated mail swaps. No recent 1's or 3's! I will be checking profiles for this one. Be nice; don't flake! If this swap goes well, there will be more to follow!

Be courteous and don't forget to rate your partner when you receive your book!

I'm so sorry @xSugar I've had an unexpected HUGE vet bill come up and will have to drop. I have to save as much money as possible now :( :(

I'm not sure if I have done enough mail swaps on here to qualify for this swap, but I am a member of paperbackswap.com and have mailed 85 books, so I'm hoping that makes up for it. If not just let me know please. Thanx!
