Who doesn't love a good spooky vampire novel?

If you say "I don't", then this is not the swap for you! For the rest of you stil looking to read about some blood-sucking beasties, then this is the swap for you!

The rules are simple: Send your partner a (pre-owned) vampire novel! Paperback would be cheaper to send, but hardcover is welcome if you're willing to put out the postage. They can be any kind of novel - suspense, classic, YA, thriller, romance, horror, anything - as long as it is FICTION and as long as it features VAMPIRES.

Please also no children's/picture books.

Given the over-saturation of the current vampire novel market with Twilight, its sequels and spinoffs, this will be a NON-TWILIGHT swap; no Twilight or Twilight-related books allowed.

This swap is for anyone that was a 5-Rating. Please no flakers.

Post in the comments if there is a specific type of book you'd prefer NOT to recieve - no romance, not so gory, etc.

Anything's cool with me other than harlequin, rip-the-dress of romance =D Also, hopefully this is common sense, but please don't sent me the 3rd/5th/etc book if it is a series, first book only yeah? Can't wait, this will be fun!

Should we list the book we already have? Will that help?

VampiraGirl 10/28/2010 #

And I agree with @haveyoumetlisa Please! First book in a series ONLY!!! I hate that too! ^v^

I'm so excited people are signing up! Yay! @haveyoumetlisa made a very good point, don't send anything in a series unless it is a first novel or can work as a stand-alone. Personally, I don't mind romance, would just prefer it not be the main focus of the novel. Other than that, I'm up for anything, though I do have the first five of the Vampire Chronicles, just FYI :)

Here is my (short) list of books that I've read. It might help in the choosing process. :) Thank you.

I love pretty much everything, except harlequin, the Anita Blake series, and certain young adult/teen...I'm kind of picky when it comes to YA vampire novels. I own every Anne Rice novel, but I think that's about it.

This might help you guys find that perfect vampire novel:

@BansheeX that site is awesome. Now I must update my reading lists!

Just a heads up for our Canadian friends, @kallel has opened a similar regional swap for your area! http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/76498

I have read almost all of Laurrel Hamilton's Anita Blake series and Charlaine Harris' True Blood series, and all of Anne Rice's.

renees 11/ 2/2010 #

my goodreads is on my profile page, I own a lot of vampire books already! I would love to get something new! I enjoy the romantic ones, I have most Anne Rice, nothing super like gruesome.

Bats 11/ 2/2010 #

Yay! This is so cool, can't wait to pass on some good vampire stories :)

As for my already-reads: I've gotten through all of Anne Rice, the first Charlaine Harris novel, and Lost Souls by Poppy Z. Brite. I'm not a fan of Twilight at all, but I'm open to anything else!

cr8alteredart 11/ 4/2010 #

Wow, there are so many different series out there that I can't wait to see what one of you may send me. I just have to one hate-Anita Blake- and one bored with-Buffy, but I would love some L.A. Banks, Vampire Huntress(I read 1 & 2), Charlaine Harris(again read 1 & 2), Blue Bloods(read 1) Cirque Du Freak (read 1-3). I've heard about this Kismet Knight, Vampire psychologist and it sounds interesting, so if you get me as a partner and you have one this series I'LL TAKE IT! BansheeX - that site is the bomb!!

I am up for trying anything, but I am not a fan of Anne Rice or the Anita Blake series (except the graphic novels). I also have read 1-4 of The Vampire Diaries and 1-3 of House of Night with 4 in my TBR pile.

songtoisis 11/ 7/2010 #

Very exciting swap idea! I'm up for anything, any genre. I've read all of Anne Rice, the first Charlaine Harris book, and the Vampire Diaries. I have read the first book in the YA series The Vampires of Morganville, as well. I prefer to avoid the scary/brutal horror types of vampire books. Oh, I've also read Poppy Z. Brite as well. Thanks for swapping!
