Description:

Welcome to our 8th in our series of book swaps based on a new letter of the alphabet each month. We are now on Letter H.

For this swap you will read one book using the letter "H" for either the book title or the author name. For example: any book by Hemingway, or the book "Honeymoon" by James Patterson. This can be a book you have already read, one you have been wanting to read, an old favorite you want to share. The book can be new or used, but be sure it is in good condition if used. Also, it does not have to be a novel, it can be a book of poetry or a biography or self-help book, etc. Just use "H" for the title or author.

When you have read your book, you will send it to your swap parnter with a note about why you chose the book, what you liked about the book, what character you may have liked, etc. Sort of a book club for one. Hopefully we can all discover some new reading materials!

So, each person reads one book, sends the book and a note to your partner. You do not need to wait to start reading your book as this is not a profile based swap. Also, please do not rate on whether you liked the book, but on whether you received the book.

This is a USA swap due to shipping costs. I have been doing an INTL swap as well, but am going to have to stop those due to the costs of shipping books overseas. If anyone else would like to do an INTL series that is fine with me, but I am going to be limiting mine to USA from now on. I will allow newbies as you have to start somewhere, but be sure you can commit to this before signing up. Also you must have at least a couple of paragraphs filled out on your profile, so be sure to do that before signing up. For everyone else, you need a rating of 4.9 or higher and no no-sends in the last month. If you feel you have a bad rating, please pm me the circumstances ahead of time so I can decide if you can stay or not. I will be checking profiles before assigning partners. I can angel if needed, but I hope that won't be necessary.

Happy Swapping!

Why is the signup date, and the send date so close together? I relly relly want to be in this swap, but there is no way that I can read an entire book in a little over 10 days, I work full time and am married, and the holidays are coming up. Could we at least get a month? I have a trip coming up and will have lots of time to read on the plane. It would be awesome if we could more time!!! Thank you!

Yeah! I've SO been waiting, Deb! :D

Well, technically you have 20 days to read the book, as it isn't profile related you can pick the book and start reading right now. I'll see about changing the dates though.
