It's a ridiculously fun concept. You get paired up with someone else and then you buy each other three books:
- A book you love
- A book you haven't read but are interested in
- A book from your partner's wish list
Amazingly enough, coming up with what to put on my wishlist? NOT EASY! I stared at Amazon for about an hour before I came up with a dozen options.
I do most of my reading on my phone or one of my tablets but there are some books that I just really NEED to own and have sitting on my shelf to oooh and aaah over. I believe I put two of those on my list even though I already have one in e-form. Some cozy mysteries (of course), some middle-grade/YA books, the next in my beloved Poldark series that I haven't broken down and purchased for myself yet off of ebay or half.com.
I'm so easy going with my reading (as long as no pet cats are getting killed off for no good reason)! I'm even totally cool with used books .... as long as they aren't completely falling apart at the spine, of course.
I already have thoughts as to what to get my partner for the "book I love" part of the swap .... but will hold off on the final decision until I know who I'm paired with. (Hopefully they have a GoodReads account so I can snoop around!)
Go sign up. It'll be fun. Honest.(Sign-ups close on January 12th so hop to it!)
