Description:

If you were in the last round of swaps, cool–send along the book you received. If you’re joining for the first time, pick out a book you liked, hard cover or paperback, but intact (both covers and all pages complete!) and send it to your partner.

IMPORTANT! Please put a card or paper on the front inside cover so each reader can add her name. You can use a post-it if you don’t want to tape or glue. Some swappers have been putting address labels in so we can see where they’re from too. If you don’t want to do that, please just put your name and location.

It’d be fun to register these books at Bookcrossing, a website for exchanging and passing along books. You can add a review there and keep track of where your book travels. Check it out at www.bookcrossing.com It’s free and fun! If you receive a bookcrossing book, please register it. You don't need to join to do that.

Don't worry about checking partner's reading preferences. In this swap, the idea is to try reading something different. Who knows, you might find a new favorite genre or author! If your new partner has already read your current book (check the list in the front!), please just send a different one from your collection and keep the other book for the next month and a different partner.

USA only to keep expenses lower. Feel free to start an international one if you like!

Please pm before you rate someone down if you haven't received your book. Please let your partner (and me!) know if you're going to be late sending!

I hate to have to add this, but we've had some flakers, so no Newbies (fewer than 5 package swaps), and you must have at least a 4.5 with NO no sends in the past year. If you're a newbie or someone trying to claw their way back from a bad spell, please pm me and I'll set up a private swap for us. I will ban anyone who hasn't been online within a week of the deadline or who has recent late or no-sends.

Have fun. Happy book swapping and reading!

NOTE: There have been some issues lately concerning the condition of books that are sent. Please use discretion when choosing your book. The book doesn't need to be brand new, but it must be at least in good or acceptable condition. No water damage, no writing or highlighting in the book, and the book must have its complete cover. Please be polite --send something you would like to receive!

So in subsequent BOM swaps, are we to send a book that we have received through previous BOM swaps? Thanks! Sue

You certainly can, but it's not at all required. If you'd like to keep the book, or hold on to it for longer to finish reading it, feel free to choose a new book to add to the mix. Just remember to add a paper or card to the inside so everyone can see where the book has traveled so far!
