Description:

I love books. More than books, though, I absolutely relish the time I'm able to spend reading them. Some days are filled with so many activities that it's difficult to squeeze in even ten minutes to read a short chapter...other days afford me the opportunity to spend all afternoon reading.

This swap is not only about books...it's about creating a wonderful, relaxing atmosphere in which to read the book. So, you will find out from your swap partner how he/she likes to read. Is it on the bus? In the bathtub? On the couch? Is it on a lounge chair in the backyard, or perhaps while seated at a favorite cafe?

Whatever the case...you will send a package that will help create a comfortable book reading atmosphere. For example, if your partner likes to read in the tub, perhaps the package might consist of bath salts, a scented candle, a waterproof bookmark, along with a book. Or if your partner prefers her backyard, you could send ice tea mix (or tea), a towel or lap blanket, and some insect repellant (along with a book).

The Booty: You will send your swap partner at least three nice items to create a comfortable reading atmosphere. Additionally, you will send one book based on your partner's likes in his/her profile. No Dollar Store items, or other cheap ass crap.

Important detail: Please put a brief description in the comments section of this swap outlining your perfect reading atmosphere...or if you have two, list both; your partner can pick and choose.

The Cost: I hate assigning an amount, however I can't imagine this swap costing participants any less than $10 before shipping. Please be aware before you sign up that this is a high value swap.

**The Pesky Details: **

  • US only, must have 10+ hearts to join. If the majority of those hearts are from email, postcard, or other low value swaps (like sticker swaps), they will not count. In other words, you must have a history of successfully participating in other higher value swaps in order to sign up for this one.

  • Package will NOT include Dollar Store items, or other cheap ass crap. Please choose at least three nice items for your partner.

  • Book may be gently used, however should not have creased covers, stains, watermarks or other signs of abuse.

  • No recent "no sends."

  • Rating of 4.6 or higher. However, I will take into account comments left on your profile page, etc., so an unfair rating of one may not affect you, whereas two ratings of three showing that you just "don't get it" might.

  • Must be drama-free, and your name should not be found in the questionable swappers list.

  • Package must be sent with Delivery Confirmation.
