Description:

For this swap you will send your partner a copy of a book that you completely and absolutely adore. The book can be fiction, non-fiction, poetry -- any genre or style as long as you love it. Additionally, the book can be new or used, but it must be in readable condition with the cover and all pages intact.

Here's where things get interesting -- before you send the book to your partner, you must write inside of it. Include a minimum of ten notes written on the pages of the book. Do you love a certain scene or character? Mention it. Do you have a favorite line? Write why. Would you like to call the villain a few choice words? Write them in!

Feel free to be as verbose and artistic as you want. You can highlight sections of the text, or even draw pictures in the page margins. However, be sure that your partner will be able to read the book.

If you're able to read your partner's profile and find a book that will match both your taste and theirs, go for it. However, it's more important to pick a book that is special to you and that you will truly be able to illuminate than it is to pick one that your partner is pre-disposed to.

International players are welcome.

Swap-bot newbies will have to sit this one out.

Players should have a rating of at least 4.8, with no no-sends. However, if you have been rated unfairly send me a PM and we'll work things out.

Most importantly, enjoy!

This sounds really intriguing. If I can get through this insane nutrition course with enough time to reread a book (and keep up with work and all my other swaps) I may just have to join in.

Hi. It's a terrific and interesting swap. I'd like to join in it but I believe that it will be difficult to find my favorite book in English here! So sad. Anyway I'll try to look for it...

I cant join in right now, but I just love the idea of this swap. But I will tell you what my current fave book is lol The Lovely Bones by Alice Seebold...........a clever method of narrative and a simply delish notion of Heaven, whether you believe in it or not! Good luck Lyn Lewis

I love this idea of a swap, but the timing is poor for me. If you choose to extend the mail date or run at another time, please let me know!
