Book of the Month (January)

Happy New Year and happy reading!

If you were in the last round of swaps, cool–send along the book you received. If you’re joining for the first time, pick out a book you liked, hard cover or paperback, but intact (both covers and all pages complete!) and send it to your partner. Please paste a card or paper on the front inside cover so each reader can add her name. Some swappers have been putting address labels in so we can see where they’re from too. If you don’t want to do that, please just put your name and location.

It’d be fun to register these books at Bookcrossing, a website for exchanging and passing along books. You can add a review there and keep track of where your book travels. Check it out at www.bookcrossing.com You do need to register, but it’s free and kind of fun! If you receive a bookcrossing book, please do register it. You don't need to join to do that.

It is okay if it's not be the kind of book you (or your partner) would normally read, The idea is to try reading something different. Who knows, you might find a new favorite genre or author! If your your new partner has already read your current book (check the list in the front!), please just send a different one from your collection and keep the other book for the next month and a different partner.

For hearts you might add extras like popcorn or book marks, that kind of stuff. Look at your partner’s profile to see what they may like. Be aware that you cannot send media rate if you put in extra stuff!

USA only to keep expenses lower. Feel free to start an international one if you like!

Please pm before you rate someone down if you haven't received your book.

Have fun. Happy book swapping and reading!
