Does the book have to be paperback, or can I send a hardcover book? I belong to two book clubs and the books I'd like to pass on for someone else to enjoy as well are all hardcovers.

DaCraftyLady 04/20/2007 #

They can be either hard cover or paper back...If you prefer hard cover that is ok too. Its getting close gals...

Hi, I read high fantasy (I would adore the newest David Eddings or Mercedes Lackey) or contempory romantic comedies (Katie McCallister, Lyndsay Sands, Kristen Grayson). Favorite scents - vanilla or baking scents (anything floral scented gives me headaches). Thank you.

DaCraftyLady 04/23/2007 #

I like Debbie Macomber Cedar Grove series, the new Mary Higgins Clark, Joann Fluke, and check my blog "wish list" on the offsite blog listed above. I also have a wish list on Amazon under dbvbookwurm.

Hello All! Im so excited for this swap!! I really like fantasy books, I'm completely enthralled by the Harry Potter books, as well as The Artimis Fowl Books, Eragon, and My newest favorates are the Meridith Blake Series by Laurall K. Hamilton. They are excelent. I also like romance books that envolve knights and damsells and the such. I like macabra sort books as well. And time travel books. I tend to look in the novel-length kids(teens) books I enjoy the imagination put into them. I also like classical litature books like: The scarlet letter, almost all shakespear, E.A. Poe, and Paradise Lost. As you can see I really enjoy books that require alternitive thinking, and sometimes mind set. Oh! How could I forget, I absolutly LOVE Mitchell's books, The five people you meet in heaven, Tuesday's with Morrie, and One more day! They were Excellent!!!

I don't really have a favorite color, I just like colors together, when they go well, like blue and brown, Green and pink, yellow and black, red and black, things that look well together you know? Appeasing to the eyes.

Scents, I really like rose and pretty smelling things. I do not like Vinilla though, bad memories with that one. -_-;;

No Allergies, but licorice makes me sneeze.

I am totally obessed with Harry Potter's character Severus Snape, more so than a normal person...Heh

Zanara 04/25/2007 #

I just made a "wishlist" for books - so that my partner can see the books I like. Don't worry I'm not thinking "new" :)Here is the link - just cut and paste it........
