Description:

This is not the usual sharing of your all-time favourite book, but a thoughtful, personal book swap.

How does that work?
1. Check your profile, make sure you've got a filled section “Favourite Books”
2. Sign up for this swap
3. Get your swap partner
4. Check your swap partner's profile (book section)
5. Think of a book that matches your partner's description, which he/she might not know
6. Write a letter of about 1-2 pages(min) length about the book and send it to them
7. Include the original/English title and a short summary of the book (no spoilers!!!), something that is special about this particular book (why you recommend it) and a note why you chose it for them.
8. Remember to mention the Swap's name and your nickname
9. Enjoy a book someone has chosen especially for you.

Rules:
1. As I said: No spoilers! → The receiver still wants to enjoy the magic of the book you chose for them.
2. Choose only books that are available in English language or the receiver's mother tongue
3. If you absolutely don't know any books of the kind your partner described, find a book of a genre rather similar (For example: You don't know any recommendable 'historical novels', so find any other genre that is set in a similar environment, like a 'fantasy novel' in an medieval setting maybe). Please let your partner know, that you chose another genre.

Please give the sender a 5-star-rating as you received a book recommendation that matches the description of this swap. If you already know/don't like the book they gave you, it's tough luck. I plan to re-open this swap several times a year (if people like it), so just sign up the next time and maybe you receive a better one then.

This is a Newbie-friendly swap. As it's not so hard to write about a book you like, I expect everyone to fulfill the task properly and on time. Therefore I'll let anybody with 5's and reasonably discussed 3's in. Also not-yet-rated Newbies deserve the chance to collect a good rating by this. Just make sure you have a properly filled profile on here.
