I love to read! I pretty much enjoy anything but sci-fi or romance novels.

Retromama 01/27/2007 #

Let's see....I like good crime(like Cornwell), quirky romances, author Haven Kimmel, Gladys Taber. No sci-fi or regular romance novels.Happy Swapping!

wolfmom2ac 01/31/2007 #

I read almost anything! Just not really into Sci-Fi or heavey romance!!

user2726 01/31/2007 #

I love to read just about anything except Sci-Fi. I especially enjoy a good mystery, ie Cornwell, Dean Koontz, Grisham, Crichton.

LMM 02/ 3/2007 #

I'll take the SF books nobody else seems to want! LOL

Pretty much anything except romance for me.

DaCraftyLady 02/ 3/2007 #

Let's see I am a thriller lover and romance, not the "goofy" stuff, just like Danielle Steele or Debbie Macomber, I even like the real life murder mystery books especially by Ann Rule...my favorite scents are hazelnut and cinnamon...Looking forward to this swap...

Bloodrecuted 02/ 3/2007 #

Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to join any swaps right now, although I really wish I could now that I've seen this one. What's with all the SF haters?

DaCraftyLady 02/ 6/2007 #

I like SF too :)

FairyBotMother 02/ 6/2007 #

I like SF, as long as it's not the hard core technical stuff that completely overlooks characterization and actual conversation!

Future Partner: You can get a good idea of what I like to read at my profile :D

BrocanteGirl 02/ 6/2007 #

Future Partner: I read so much and have many tastes, so it might be best to list some titles of books that are on my wish list- The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards, Rainlight by Alison McGhee, French Dirt: The Story of a Garden in the South of France by Richard Goodman,The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins, American Gods by Neil Gaiman, Love Walked In by Marisa de los Santos.

user6160 02/ 6/2007 #

This sounds awesome. I'm open to anything.

Cnvingltlbtch 02/ 7/2007 #

I like all kinds of books. My favorite authors are Nora Roberts and Dean Koontz. So any romance or SF is fine.

user2109 02/ 7/2007 #

I would love get a book that 'you just couldn't put down'. I'm not picky, I like biographies, romance (light ones), I loved everything by James Michner. I've never read a Sci Fi, maybe I would like it, how could I know?? If you really loved it and you're done with it, I'll take it!

user5640 02/ 7/2007 #

Hi, I read almost anything except true crime and romance. I love mysteries (not too gory) and fantasy. Haven't read any Westerns in a long time, that would be a treat. Oh, and I like history too. Whatever you can find will be fine with me!

fireemtgirl 02/ 7/2007 #

Since I read just about anything except Stephen King, okay horror in general, and Tom Clancy, I am game.

And I happen to live not too far from where Nora Roberts lives and I have met her.

user3645 02/ 8/2007 #

I'm a sci-fi junkie (although I like other genres too) and I'm signing up for this swap but am curious if there might be interest for a sci-fi swap???? Or a private book swap. Let me know.

Book interest are on my profile. But here's some

SCI-FI : ) Books set in the location of Japan, doesn't matter what genre, Cornwell or Koontz. No Grisham or S. King i've read it all practically. No romance novels.

user5486 02/ 9/2007 #

I love vampire books, classic erotica (Anais Nin, Henry Miller), Zelda Fitzgerald, Charles Bukowski, and beat writers...

I live in the middle of no where, I am having a hard time finding a tassled bookmark but I can find those fancy clip book marks, is it okay if I send on of those???

momof3divas 02/10/2007 #

I love suspense, Jodi Picoult, crime stories. Just not Sci-Fi or love stories. I can't wait to get this swap and see what someone else finds as a good book.

DaCraftyLady 02/11/2007 #

Has anyone got their partner yet??? It was so suppose to be the 9th and I still have not gotten assigned one???

LMM 02/11/2007 #

The swap coordinator has to do something now to get the partners assigned. Maybe that is the hold up....

DaCraftyLady 02/12/2007 #

Thats weird because I have another swap that I have not gotten my partners either????

LMM 02/12/2007 #

But I had another swap close since this one and the partners have been assigned.....

Cnvingltlbtch 02/12/2007 #

if the coordinator hasn't clicked the button to assign the partners by the 3rd day after then end of signup time, the system will automatically assign them. So we should have them by tomorrow

DaCraftyLady 02/12/2007 #

ok so hopefully we will get our partners tomorrow then??? Has anyone emailed the coordinator?

Marshmallow 02/12/2007 #

I emailed on the 11th, but never heard anything back.

DaCraftyLady 02/13/2007 #

ok I finally got my partner...Yeah...

FairyBotMother 02/13/2007 #

I think a certain person signed up for this swap twice :/

user5640 02/13/2007 #

Is anyone else having trouble with the link to see who our partners are? I can't get in. Help!

FairyBotMother 02/13/2007 #

Could the window already be opened? But is hidden behind your main browser window?

Marshmallow 02/13/2007 #

To my future partner: Take a look at my profile. I enjoy most any books that aren't too difficult to read but I listed some of my all time favs in my profile. Thanks

user4433 02/13/2007 #

Is there a major difference between sci-fi and fantasy?

LMM 02/13/2007 #

Yes, Gigi..I think so...I read SF, but not fantasy. In a nutshell, to me, SF is science, aliens & outerspace, while fantasy is magic & fairies.

user6013 02/13/2007 #

Hmmmmm, I like pretty much anything, honestly!

DaCraftyLady 02/13/2007 #

I sent my package out to Shelly in Florida today. I hope you like it. I had fun making putting it together. :)

Cnvingltlbtch 02/14/2007 #

holmesgal 02/14/2007 #

My partner all you have to do is look at my profile it tells you things that I like :) I will be sending mine out very soon to my partner :)

Gabrielle 02/21/2007 #

Mailed my package yesterday on the deadline -- just didn\'t get to the computer to check sent! (Had a big project going with my grandson -- teaching him to cook!)

user4433 02/21/2007 #

Got my package last night...love it! A book I haven\'t read and am hooked after reading the 1st page. Great teas and oh...the chocolate. I did however make the mistake of taking one of the bars of chocolate to my Majong game. Before I knew it the darn thing was gone. p.s...adore the book mark!

BrocanteGirl 02/21/2007 #

mailed my package today! hope you like the selections!

user3645 02/21/2007 #

Fraxillina-mailed your package on the 20th.Hope you like the items and the book.

charolette33 02/22/2007 #

Brittercat- I just saw you\'d left a comment here on what kind of books you like. I swear I looked before I shopped and didn\'t see anything- so I went by your profile. Hopefully you\'ll enjoy your package anyway. :)

Brittercat 02/23/2007 #

I just recieved my package today! I love it . Am hiding the candy from hubby .I have not read \"In Cold Blood\" and almost bought it the other day. Good thing I didn\'t lol.

charolette33 02/24/2007 #

Yay! I'm so pleased. :)

LMM 02/25/2007 #

Ooops! I sent a hardback instead of a paperback...I sure hope my partner doesn't mind....

DaCraftyLady 02/28/2007 #

Do some of you never hear from your partners? I am not talking about this particular swap, but in general...???

FairyBotMother 02/28/2007 #

I am seeing some "Not Sent"s for this swap, including our host. Anyone who has not received anything in the next couple of days (AND has not had any response from their partner) can contact me, as well as anyone who would like to volunteer as an Angel (Angels needed!)

LMM 03/15/2007 #

Logged in to check on swaps and see that the person who was supposed to send to me is no longer a member...I guess it's not suprising I didn't get anything.

holmesgal 03/16/2007 #

I didn't recieve anything either - I don't think I am going to do swaps like this one anymore I will stick to the ATC's I know I get stuff from them. NOPE I didn't get a thing.

holmesgal 03/16/2007 #

Jenna Perry (JennaPerry)---> you are the one that was suppose to send me something I hope to see it soon :)

holmesgal 03/16/2007 #

That makes me sad :( I looked and it said she has not sent it and then I went to look at her profile and it says she is no longer in swap-bot even. I hope to get something I was excited about this one and look what happened :(

momof3divas 03/17/2007 #

MysticalAngel I few days ago on another swap I was on they were talking and JennaPerry health turned for the worst. So they were very sorry to not finish out her swaps. That is all I know. I know it doesn't make it any better that you didn't get a swap but maybe eaiser to understand why.

holmesgal 03/27/2007 #

I understand that - but then there should be swap angels in this group to make up that part alot of the other groups that I have done always did that - it is only fair for the ones that had to buy for others and you need to recieve one also. I do understand but then the owner should make up the difference to the people that didn't recieve. I am not trying to be a prude about anything. it's just the way it should be if you plan on running a group.
