55 Book Related Qs, Round 2

Swap Requirements ~ minimum 4.95 rating. Newbies (under 6 months at SB) & Unrated / few rated swappers (less than 25 RATED swaps), who have BOTH a well filled out profile (multiple sections filled out with detailed information about you ~ not just photos) AND are a member of Newbie Helpers, are welcome. Must have signed on to SB within two days of swap, have no late swaps on your dash (even by a day). No recent 1s or unexplained 3s. No unresolved 1s that could be resolved with active swapper. I reserve the right to ban anyone for any reason. Any swapper listed in Questionable Swapper threads will not be allowed in. I'll angel any flaked swaps, though I will do everything I can to keep questionable swappers out of it. I will do a private swap with anyone not meeting these requirements, if you would like to, just message me.

Swap may be sent through email, SB message or blog posting. DO NOT send it as an attachment, as some people will not open those, the questions/answers MUST be in the body of the email. If you send through SB, make sure to hit enter twice after each answer, as to not bunch the swap up in one paragraph mess.

ABSOLUTELY NO ONE WORD ANSWERS!! Please, give details, even if the question doesn't ask for details. For Example ~ "What are you Currently Reading?" could be answered as ~ "I am currently reading Blah blah blah by Mr ABCDEFG and I'm really enjoying the book. I chose it because I love the author, or I've already read all of the series or....." SOMETHING along those lines, not an answer of ~ "Blah blah Blah by MR ABCDEFG". NO unanswered questions. If you can not answer all the questions, do NOT join. If your answer is "no" on something, give some details as to why that question doesn't apply to you. Please, give us more! Thank you!

This swap is hosted with @StacyReneeArt 's permission, as she first hosted it in March 2013. Questions have been changed / expanded on from previous rounds.
