Description:

I can't speak for the world at large, but one of my favorite things as a bibliophile is to find an ratty book on the back shelf of a used bookstore and open it to find that it is covered in notes.

Some may call it blasphemy, I call it a treasure. Not only do you get to enjoy the book, but you get to enjoy another person's thoughts and perspectives on it.

For this swap you will purchase a copy of your favorite novel. Please make it a work of fiction.

You will then commence to write in it. Highlight favorite qoutes, include interesting facts about the author or characters, write down your thoughts, your insights, draw the characters......

Make notes.

And when its done, send it off to your partner for them to treasure and enjoy.

*Please keep the original text of the novel visible at all times.

*This swap is open to anyone with a rating of 4.5 or higher, and considerable to newbies who send me a message ahead of time. I will ban when I assign partners.

*Please rate fairly. Perhaps you recieve a book that you do not enjoy, but take it as an opportunity to read new things or perhaps pass it on to someone who will.

I do this with my books already. Its awesome! I don't read a book without a pen in hand. And when my friends borrow my books, I insist that they underline their favorite parts. Rock on.

You say "purchase a copy..." Does it have to be a brand new book or can it be used (but still in great condition)?

Either or. Your choice!

Wow, I love this idea. Now I just have to pick my favourite novel. Gosh. Going to be difficult.

You may notice the send by date has changed- my daughter has been very ill and in an out of the hospital with dehydration, and I want to make sure I give my book the full attention it deserves. <3
