Description:

Sometimes when I'm book shopping, I take a peek at the first line of a book to see if it draws me in. I'm sure that I can't be the only one!

For this swap, you will write the first complete sentence from the book you are currently reading on the back of a postcard and send it naked to your partner. Be sure to include the title of the book and the author, as well. Also, remember to include your username and the swap name. Postcards are sender's choice.

Books from which you use the first line may be fiction or nonfiction, but they must be a traditional book. So no craft books or cookbooks please. Also, the book must be in English.

Requirements: At least 5 completed and rated Type 2/3 swaps. Ratings of 4.98 or higher with no 1s or 3s in the last three months. No late swaps on your dashboard as of the day I assign partners. I will ban users after the swap closes so that everyone has a chance to earn more ratings or fix old ones.

Please post any questions you may have in the comments or message me! :)

What if the book is not in English?

LittleMissMrs 01/22/2014 #

@Caddi I'm sorry, I should have made that distinction. English books only, please. :)

Do ebooks work? I have a Kindle Fire and it's what I use most often to read.

LittleMissMrs 01/22/2014 #

Yes, an ebook is fine. :)

@Caddi Maybe you could translate the sentence.

@suesuzieq - That would be acceptable only if an English translation of the book is available. If the first sentence of the book interests someone enough to want to read it, it would be a disappointment to learn that it is not available in English if that's all the partner can read.

Alright, everyone! I carefully reviewed all profiles and only had to remove 2. Now it's time to start swapping! Please communicate with your partners if there are any problems, and if for some reason someone does happen to flake, please let me know after you have given the appropriate 1 rating, and I will angel the swap for you. I am here for any problems and concerns you may have, so feel free to contact me! Happy Swapping! :)
