Number of swap partners:1
Description:

= Here is round 2, the first one was so fun lets do it again! :o) =

This swap should be pretty straight forward & hopefully fun!

To your 1 partner you will be sending

  • A new or gently used fiction book (hardback or paperback is fine)
  • A hot drink of some sort - individually factory sealed tea bag(s), cocoa, cider, etc. It's your choice what to send your partner but do check their profile for any allergies.
  • A bookmark - store bought or nicely handmade by you.

There is a bit of a twist to this though - Everyone should list below 3 types of fiction books that they DO NOT WANT. You should NOT send the types of books your partner doesn't want. BUT other than avoiding those 3 genres, it is your choice as to what you send your partner. If you want to you can check their profile to see what they like but it is not required that you do so.

This is USA only, books can be heavy so it could get expensive to send outside of the USA.

You must have a 4.8 rating or better. No recent 1's or 3's. No no-sends. Newbies who are a 5.0 and have AT LEAST been rated on 3 different Type 2 and/or Type 3 swaps are welcome.

I check all profiles & will weed out anyone who doesn't fit the guidelines.

3 genres I do not like: space sci-fi, western, military
I am allergic to peanuts, so please no peanut butter-flavored hot drinks. Also, I do not mind loose leaf tea as long as it is labeled with its name and where it is from.

bugsandbells 11/22/2010 #

  • No kinds of romance books

Everyone please be sure to list the 3 types/genres of books you DO NOT WANT down here in the comments section! :o)

Three book types I'd prefer not to get:

* Romance
* Devotional/Religious fiction
* Political/War fiction

Also, tea makes me sick, so I'd prefer that not be included :(

Strawberry 11/23/2010 #

too bad this is US only.. and everyone can send me their romance books if this lot don't like 'em! Hehe :D

filmstarcrazy 11/23/2010 #

No horror, philosophical/religious or thrillers, please! Unless they're Victorian thrillers like Louisa May Alcott wrote. Those are excellent. I'm actually open to most every literary genre and will read nearly anything. I hate the very notion of Twilight, for example, but if someone sent me it, I would give it a go. Even if it hurt. I'm a writer and I can probably gain SOMETHING from having read it.

I'm allergic to hazelnuts and floral and strawberry teas have given me hives, just to save you trying to find it in my profile!

This is an awesome swap idea! I look forward to it.

Jacquelined 11/23/2010 #

Fun!

No Religious No Romance And No Westerns, thanks!

Jacquelined 11/23/2010 #

Actually, I just re-read the guidelines and it seems I don't fit the requirements! I'll put this one on the Watchlist.

merlainne 11/26/2010 #

My no thank you's would be: Christian, western/military, or Harlequin-type romance (paranormal is great and historical is fine-I was a medieval history major, of all things). The end of my profile has some info about food and drink preferences. Thanks!

LomoLover 11/27/2010 #

Please no books that are religious themed, romance, or children's book.

BelleoftheHome 11/30/2010 #

Glad I caught this one!! Please do not send: Religious anything Older Stephen King (I have them or have read them! I think I am missing his latest 5 or so) No Westerns No Harry Potter or Twilight

aneles 12/ 1/2010 #

I sense a theme here!

Please do not send: --Religious books --Manga --HP (got 'em) & Twilight (good kindling, but I don't have a fireplace).

Lots of tea preferences on my profile, but I'm not allergic to anything!

BelleoftheHome 12/ 1/2010 #

I forgot, no Anime on mine as well!

shelbi12 12/ 1/2010 #

No Si-Fi , Horror, or kids books please! Romance is alright but not like the sleezy porno kind thanks!

babbage1851 12/ 5/2010 #

Oh snap, I knew I was forgetting something... facepalm

For the book, I would not like: *romance (unless it's LGBT) *religious *sci-fi (but fantasy is okay)

Also, I dislike coffee, so I would rather not receive that. Tea is always good though. :D

BelleoftheHome 12/ 7/2010 #

I will not be able to get mine out until Thursday unfortunately!
