Cozy mystery book swap #2

This is a swap for those quick mystery reads that are everyone's guilty pleasure. For those who don't know what a cozy mystery is, it generally involves a non-gorey crime and contains very little violence, sex, or coarse language. By the end of the story, the criminal is punished and order is restored to the community. The character solving the crime is often an amateur sleuth who becomes involved because of personal reasons but can also be a professional with real personality.

In this swap you will have one partner that you will send one mystery book to.

It is my intention that you will be passing along something you read and enjoyed, but that is still in good shape. Creases in the spine is perfectly fine, but missing covers/food stains are a no-no.

It is also my intention that this will be a monthly recurring swap. So keep that idea in mind when you read the book (ie. you may want to pass it on someday)

I'd really like to see this take off so I am delaying the sign-up through the end of the year, and putting the first mailing in January.

If this proves popular - I am willing to consider more specific themes than just simply "cozy mysteries" If you want to be really thoughtful you can check in with your partner - maybe give them a list of books that you are thinking of passing on and see if there are any they haven't read, etc. However, to get a full 5 all that is required is that you get a cozy mystery in the mail.

You must have a rating of 4.7 to join, and atleast one "real mail" swap for something more than an ATC or a Postcard. (although if you have done a whole bunch of these I'm more than happy to let you in.) If you're a newbie and really want to be in on the swap pm me and we'll see what we can work out - I hate to eliminate people on that alone - we were all new once. :) I also have a real pet-peve of people who have completed only 5 swaps and are signed up for 20 or more all of which occur in the next month - it makes me nervous.
