Description:

Hey everyone! If you're like me, you've got lots of books on your shelves that you probably won't read again but can't bear to toss out. Why don't we share? :)

Since this is the first time we're doing this swap (I think), let's keep it simple: one book to one partner. When you sign up, please indicate whether you'd prefer fiction or non-fiction. Please don't get too picky about romance vs. mystery or devotional vs. biography. Please trust your partner to send you something inspirational!

If you want to buy a book for your partner, great, but I think that the expense of postage is enough, so feel free to send a used book that is in GOOD CONDITION. If you want to send two, go for it!

Also feel free to include a note, stickers, a bookmark, etc. if you want to (but this is not a requirement).

One heads up: please don't send anything that has a heavy denominational slant or a book that deals with a controversial/doctrinal issue. Let's keep the books uplifting, please. :)

I think we can make this international. Swappers with a rating lower than 4.0 will be banned. Newcomers welcome but you MUST fill out your profile. I'm keeping a short time between the sign-up and send-out dates to enable me to weed out potentially problematic swappers.

Any questions? (I'll stop rambling now.) ;)

i have no preference, childrens books are okay at our house too.

VelveteenRabbit 01/24/2007 #

Children's books! I didn't think of that. Feel free to mention those, too, as hnasmom did. :)

It doesn't matter to me whether it's fiction or non-fiction. Anything is ok!

I love anything...FIction or not....LOVE anything related to angels, prayer or Saints

I was thinking of maybe sending one non-fiction, one fiction and possibly a children's book, if applicable, what do you think about that... one from each category?

FunToScrap 01/30/2007 #

Considering there are only a few of us, could we possibly change the number of partners? Or would that be too much?

I was planning to send books that I have read and loved, therefore used, but still in good condition. What do you think?

VelveteenRabbit 01/30/2007 #

I think gently used books are fine. If you want to bless your partner with more than one book, that would be fine, too! :) Let's just do one partner for now and see how it goes. We can always do a similar swap again later. Is that okay?

I enjoy Christian mysteries and inspirational as well. What a fun idea for a swap! Count me in.

gonegg 02/ 3/2007 #

I'm all for the gently used/loved recycling. And if this goes well, will you repeat this in another few weeks?

heartsnyou..I received my book the other day. Thank you so much. It has great stories! valarie aka creativity

VelveteenRabbit 02/19/2007 #

I\'m going to send an e-mail reminder to those who are still marked \"not sent\".

akacreativity 02/20/2007 #

Mildred your book is in the mail- I hope you enjoy it! Creativity

VelveteenRabbit 02/23/2007 #

I'm a little concerned that people in a Christian book swap would be non-senders. I do hope everyone follows through... :\

VelveteenRabbit 02/27/2007 #

Has anyone received anything yet? (I haven't.) Please tell us about it! :)

VelveteenRabbit 03/ 5/2007 #

Hnasmom, your swap partner, JennaPerry, has "disappeared". If you don't receive a book from her, let me know and I'll send you something. :)

VelveteenRabbit 03/ 8/2007 #

Got my book from Flouncy Penguin today. Thanks! :) (Gee, it's quiet in here...)

flouncypenguin 04/10/2007 #

Hnasmom, have not recieved a book from you yet.

:(

VelveteenRabbit 04/12/2007 #

Penguin... really??? I'm glad I checked in here because I was just about to angel hnasmom. She was paired with Jenny Perry so I know she hasn't received anything yet. Hmm...

Beth, please let us know if you're going to fulfill this swap. If not, I will angel Flouncy Penguin instead. I'd have been glad to send something to you but it doesn't seem fair if you don't send something to your partner.

Thanks!

VelveteenRabbit 04/12/2007 #

Actually, Beth sent me an e-mail on March 27 indicating that she had sent something out.

Penguin, do you want to try contacting her privately/directly to see what happened?
