Description:

Hello. This is a Book Swap.

For this swap you will have one (1) partner and you will send your partner one (1) book. You can add extra goodies, if you'd like. This is an international swap.

The books must be in good condition (used is okay). If you've already read a book, you can pass it on to someone else.

In the comments section please REMEMBER to comment what type of books you're interested in: art, non-fiction, fantasy, etc. This way your partner will have an idea as to what you enjoy.

If you're like me, you probably have a bunch of books around that you've already read and you want something new to read. If you are sending your partner a book you've already read, send a little note explaining why you enjoyed the book.

Have Fun :-)

P.S. Someone brought up a good point: will all the books be in English? Here is the answer: if you read other languages besides English, post it in a comment. Maybe your partner has a book in a different language.

Will the books all be in english?

OyeMichi 01/ 6/2007 #

Just a note: I've read all books by: Dave Pelzer, Isabel Allende, and Mitch Albom. I like non-fiction books more, but am open to reading anything. :-) And I can read in either English or Spanish, but if it's an art book with lots of pictures then any language is fine.

Grinch 01/20/2007 #

I usually read fiction but have read all of John Grisham's books except his latest one which is non fiction. Like a good historical romance too. Like to look at art,photography and decorating books also. Used is super with me, love a book with character.

LMM 01/22/2007 #

I love to swap books! I am a voracious reader, almost everything except romance. Probably the more obscure the better for me, but there are plenty of best sellers I've missed. Favorite genres are hard and metaphysical SF, time travel, historical fiction & pretty much all non-fiction, but if you liked it (and it's not romance :>), send it!

user5866 01/24/2007 #

Hi, I mostly read fiction and I can only read english:( I Love Nora Roberts, I also read sci fi, mysteries, any Dean Koontz or Stephen King book, I really want to read the devil wears prada, and there are tons of books I haven;t read so send them on:)

Beth 01/24/2007 #

Hello! I read mostly fiction. Not romance and not books you can buy at the drug store/grocery store (like Stephen King, Dean Koontz, John Grisham, etc). I'm willing to try anything else. Only in English, please.

user5201 01/24/2007 #

I prefer books written in English. I enjoy Paranormal, Urban Paranormal or Fantasy type books. Romance ones are a plus. I have a list on my website of all the books that I have read in the past year, so you can get an idea of ones that I like. Thanks! :)

Zanara 01/24/2007 #

I like fantasy (not science fiction) or romantic comedies and I only read english. Thank you.

user5063 01/25/2007 #

i like any kind of book that has words in it ;) am into art(any kind), philosophy (kant, kerouac) and eastern religions (buddhism, dalai lama, deepak chopra) and alternative medicine (natural medicine, herbal), have been itching to read the american theocracy, however, i'll be happy with whatever i receive.. no pressure :)

user5912 01/26/2007 #

user5450 01/27/2007 #

I love books and collect many-- especially would like art, poetry, children's, --anything with cool pictures or graphics-- old dictionaries and maps. Love to read novels also but nothing too scary or too depressing.

user1926 01/27/2007 #

I like mostly ficton :) I can know: English, Polish and French flunetly! So anything in the last two languages would be awesome!

neunzehn 01/28/2007 #

I like crime fiction (located in Great Britain), fiction in general...please no Stephen King or Grisham. You can have a look at my profile too, to get more information about me. I read in German and English. :o)

JP 01/28/2007 #

I love mysteries, science fiction and fantasy. I don't read romance novels. I do enjoy some chick lit, but not the depressing sort. No Oprah list books please....too much doom and gloom there. I have all of Agatha Christie's books already..she's my favorite author. Anything along those lines...such as Ngaio Marsh...would be great! Or whatever you'd like to send!

simindy 01/28/2007 #

Hello, This swap sounds like fun. I love reading (I'm a English major with aspirations of being a Creative Nonfiction Writing professor), and love all sorts of genres. Mainly I read:

  • Literature (classic lit. and new lit., like the stuff that used to be on the Oprah book club),
  • Latino literature
  • Memoirs (this is a hard one to give me books from, since I have TONS of memoirs (I specialize in creative nonfiction))
  • Fantasy/science fiction books,
  • Young Adult fantasy books (like Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, etc. but I've read most of those),
  • Craft books
  • Mystery

Honestly, I will like anything you send me that is well written. I read way too much and have many overflowing bookcases, so anything you like that you would like to pass on will be greatly appreciated (except for suspense/medical dramas like Grisham and whatnot). Thanks!

LuldaCasadaga55 01/28/2007 #

I like non-fiction. No romance novels. English preferred. If art books any language will do. I like books on ghosts, paranormal, etc. so, if I get an international partner I would like a ghost book from your country. Murder mystery, comedy, pet stories, travel are great also.

I'm easy to please, so used books are perfect! Thanks...

Zanara 01/28/2007 #

Are you allowing the people with more than one "no send" to stay in the swap?

cheekywabbit 01/28/2007 #

I love to read just about anything.No romance. I really love science fiction/fantansy . but anything sent will be read.

Lunaria 01/29/2007 #

I like fiction about non- American cultures, craft books, (especially about jewelry making, polymer clay, glass art and papercrafts, and anything from Dover Books), Stephen King (already read Cell, Green Mile, Hearts in Atlantis), good literature, biographies/memoirs, and books about movies and Bollywood.

Simsan 01/29/2007 #

I like all craft books and art books. Don't have time to read books without pictures ;-)

user5848 01/30/2007 #

Hi, I like just about all subjects, graphic of the killing nah, my main hobbies right now is doll houses, and canning.

sleepingrover2010 01/30/2007 #

I also want to let you know that I will be sending you a thank you note via snail mail if you are my partner. I will do the rating on the site as soon as I can. Thanks

sleepingrover2010 01/30/2007 #

I can only read in English. I am a pretty versatile reader when it comes to genre of book. However, I am a former teacher and school librarian. I would really love a children's book, no Harry Potter. I have them all. I do enjoy unique and interesting children's non-fiction books, but will be pleased with fiction as well. If fiction, I would prefer a children's novel. If you choose to get me an adult book, I enjoy mysteries, suspense, Christian fiction, and well-written romance novels. Thanks. Barb

user960 01/31/2007 #

Genres/topics I like include: fantasy, mystery, cultural (like anthropology books :D), history (Victorian and earlier), craft books (see my profile for my favorite crafts), travel, Eastern religion, Paganism, popular science, nature, language, and alternative medicine. Please no self-help, inspirational, romance (unless it's Barbara Michaels or Anne McCaffrey ;)), or popular fiction.

Also, if you're going to send me a fantasy novel, you may want to check if I have it first. I have a lot to begin with. ;D

corplyn 01/31/2007 #

I am new, and would like to join in this swap. I have lots and lots of books, I read almost any type of book. My favorite are fantasy/science fiction and mystery, but I will enjoy westerns or almost anything else, but not romance, my older daughter reads those and gives me hers, and they are taking over my shelves. Also, I only read in english, and childrens books would be acceptable, I can read them to my grandson.

swapperk 01/31/2007 #

Hi --

I like to read mysteries, thrillers, suspense romances (such as Harlequin Suspense series), English grammar books, knitting books (both technique and patterns). My taste is all over the place -- and I am always willing to try a new genre!

Can't wait! I love surprises!
