About Me

My name is Patti. I am a book lover, foremost. And I love getting things in the mail!

TO ALL MY SWAP-BOT PARTNERS: I am so excited to be part of this swapping community. I joined in November 2008 and I'm really looking forward most to swapping bookmarks and bookplates!

I send my swap items promptly or within the set time-frame. Please allow 2-5 weeks for international airmail. If in 6 weeks, you have not received your swap item from me, please send me a message and I will re-send a new postcard, bookmark, ATC, penpal letter, or whatever it is we're swapping!

I put a lot of thought into everything I send. Please let me know if a swap doesn't satisfy and I'll do my best to make it right. :)

I COLLECT...

  • bookplates
  • bookmarks
  • playing cards (new, slightly used, or old but vintage looking)
  • vintage or faux-vintage postage stamps
  • vintage or faux-vintage postcards
  • pop-up books
  • anything on Medieval England and Tudor England

:)

I CAN SWAP...

  • bookmarks (store-bought or handmade)
  • bookplates (store-bought---1 pack or by the piece)
  • BookNotes: bookmark + reading diary (ask me about this).

...for YOUR bookmarks (store-bought, handmade), bookplates (Antioch, etc) or other book-related items!

Just send me a message for ONE-ON-ONE TRADES!

Random Things I LOVE.

books, bookplates, bookmarks, dessert, chocolate chip cookies, geisha, mah jong, paper engineering (pop-up), pop-up books, macro photography, board games, playing cards, cute Labrador retrievers, the Food Network, Medieval and Tudor England, Henry Cavill, the Italian language, butter pecan ice cream, photos/paintings/images of people reading, postage stamps, airmail stamps, penguins, Vincent van Gogh, Regency England (costumes and scenery), puppies, quotations on books and reading, BookMooch

BOOKMARKS & BOOKPLATES

I love bookmarks and bookplates!

I prefer store-bought over handmade, but will still welcome beautiful handmade ones! Freebie bookmarks from your local library, bookstore, or cafe are welcome, too. I would love to get bookmarks with another language other than English written on them. Heck, any kind of bookmark will do!

I am not that picky with bookmark/bookplate designs. Any will do! Bookmarks with religious images are welcome, too (any religion! I would love to learn more about them), but I have to let you know that I'm no longer interested in bookmarks with quotes from the Bible---I have a lot of those from past swaps. But if that's all you have on hand and you think it's a really good passage, then send it on! I still might like it. :)

If you are sending me a bookmark for a Handmade Bookmark Swap and for some reason you have no time to make a handmade bookmark, please feel free to substitute a store-bought or freebie bookmark instead. I really won't mind since I love store-bought or freebie bookmarks. :)

POSTCARDS

I prefer my postcards naked and with postage stamps! But if you prefer to send me a bunch of postcards in an envelope, please do so. Scenic cards are great, but I also love artsy (but store-bought) postcards. I also like vintage-looking postcards, photo postcards, cartoon postcards, black-and-white postcards, dog postcards, geisha/Japanese art postcards, monarchy/royalty postcards, book-/reading-related postcards.

I would love to hear from you, too. So go ahead and write anything! Tell me about yourself. What's your favorite book? quote? dessert? holiday place? film? music? Do you have a website/blog? What's the last movie you saw? Have you ever been to the Philippines?

I seldom join postcard swaps nowadays but if you want a postcard from the Philippines, just send me a message. Let's swap a postcard for a bookmark. What do you think? It's just that I have enough postcards from all over the world, but can never have enough bookmarks. Please see above for preferences (which just says I like all bookmarks!).

Favorite Books

The Pillars of the Earth, Prep, The Know-It-All, East of Eden, Griffin and Sabine trilogy, Something Borrowed, Sloppy Firsts++, Marley and Me. I love books on Medieval and Tudor England, European Royals, geisha, and dogs. I love most memoirs and biographies (no politicians or celebrities), YA/Teen fiction, and contemporary fiction.

Favorite Movies and TV shows

Waking Life, High Fidelity, Wit, Before Sunrise, Amelie, Magnolia, Love Actually, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I Heart Huckabees, Finding Neverland, Pleasantville, Shawshank Redemption, Bourne movies

Daria, Lonely Planet, Perfect Strangers, Quantum Leap, F.R.I.E.N.D.S., American Idol Season 5 & 7, Prison Break, House, Princess Hours, Dexter, Friday Night Lights, Lost, Ugly Betty, 30 Rock, Psych, Flight of the Conchords, The Soup, Barefoot Contessa, Sweet Dreams, Everyday Italian, Jeopardy, CSI, The Big Bang Theory

Favorite Music

Explosions in the Sky, Coldplay, Jeff Buckley, Interpol, KT Tunstall, Ennio Morricone, Aimee Mann, Eva Cassidy, Alexi Murdoch, The OC Mixes

Comment: Love them all thank you and the book notes are great. I have always wanted something that I could use to jot down notes while reading. It will come handy when writing reviews.

Comment: I really enjoyed reading your answers. Thank you for sending them so quickly. My favorite question was "Why does the caged bird sing..?" I was most interested in the answers that everyone came up with. I look forward to swapping with you again. Have a great day! -Beth
