Choose Your Genre Book Swap (US Only) *HEARTS*
Swap Coordinator:jeanland (contact)
Swap categories: Books  Miscellaneous 
Number of people in swap:7
Location:Other
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:August 8, 2008
Date items must be sent by:August 25, 2008
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

For this swap you will have only 1 partner and you will send them 1 book based on the genre of their choice.

I want this to be a great swap for everyone, so send either a new book or one that is in very good condition! No water damage, spine damage or writing inside. The copyright of the book should be no older than 1998 (10 years).

And you must choose a book from the genres that your partner has listed that they like (example: mystery, supernatural romance, psychological thriller, horror, fantasy, contemporary romance, science fiction, etc...).

Use the Comments section below to list at least 3 or 4 of your favorite fiction book genres. Please don't list the actual titles or authors of books that you want or you won't be pleasantly surprised with what you receive!

I would suggest not sending books that are a part of a series, as your partner may already be involved with the series. And obviously it would be frustrating to receive the 3rd book in a series you've never read. So just be sure you are sending your partner a 'stand alone' novel.

To ensure that everyone has a wonderful swapping experience here are the 'rules' -

  • Your rating must be 4.7 or higher.

  • No 'no sends' within the last 3 months.

  • You must have at least 10 HEARTS - this shows that you care about what you send and you know how to treat your partner special. :)

I will check everyone to make sure that you've followed the rules listed above, we don't want any flakers! If you want to aim for hearts then include a little extra something special for your partner... or even another book from their genre list! Any questions just ask them in the Comments section.

Have fun & happy reading!

Book genres I really like (I've already read all the books by the authors I've listed as examples):

  • Contemporary Fantasy (author examples - Neil Gaiman, J.K. Rowling, Philip Pullman & Susan Cooper).

  • Urban Fantasy (author examples - Simon R. Green, Kim Harrison, Vicki Pettersson & Rob Thurman).

  • Contemporary Mythic Fiction (examples - The Stolen Child - Keith Donohue, American Gods & Anansi Boys - Neil Gaiman).

I also enjoy YA books that fall into these genres. :)

I like supernatural/paranormal romance, fantasy/sci-fi/dual worlds romance, time travel romance & urban fantasy romance.

I don't like the typical historical romances, western, victorian, period type ones. But if they have a good paranormal edge or time travel, etc... then that would be nice. :)

Examples of the kinds of books I like are (I've already read these by the way): Ghost Walker series by Christine Feehan, Atlantis series by Gena Showalter & Frankly My Dear by Sandra Hill.

I like paranormal stuff(anything but ufos) and that includes the paranormal romances.

I love the author Chuck Palahniuk, so anything that is like his style of writing would be awesome also.

Romantic Comedy who-dun-it books are good to such as Janet Evanovich and Meg Cabot style...

Just please don't send me the regular romance novels because I hate them with a fiery passion!!!

what a great swap! I don't have enough hearts to join, though. Perhaps you'll host a similar swap again in the future?

I like chic lit., young adult books, and any kind of fiction in general.

Eidolons ~ you'll have a little over 2 weeks before partners are assigned... that might be enough time to get enough hearts! :) If not, I do plan on hosting another swap like this again in a few months! :)

Hi! I'd love a food-related book, but NOT a cookbook. Something that has food-related stories/essays. If you need ideas, I have many book on my amazon wishlist; there's a link in my profile. Also, I am collecting the Hary Potter books. I have numbers 1-3, so I'd love receiving any of numbers 4-7. Thanks!

I like para-normal romance, mystery, esp, psycololgical thrillers, interesting memoirs.

This is a great swap. :o)

I enjoyed all the Harry Potter books ...sad to see them end ... is there anything out there similar to that style? ...

Chic lit ... I have never read Meg Cabot (but would love to)

Mysteries like Elaine Viets. I have read all the :A Dead-Eng Job Mystery except for Clubbed to Death ... I think this is along the lines of Romantic Comedy who-dun-it books ... but please do not send Janet Evanovich - I'm burnt out

I have some books on Amazon ... just a idea. :o)

This swap looks awesome! I'm newish to swap-bot, though, and only have about as many hearts as swaps I've done... Hope I'll come across this swap again in the future!
