Books 'n Bloggers: Swap Show-Off


Books 'n Bloggers Swap is hosted by Chaotic Goddess Swaps.

Let me start by saying that I am *so happy* I signed up for this swap! I've wanted to take part in one for quite a while and I'm thrilled that my first experience was such a positive one. So major props to Beth and Angie for hosting (these ladies are real pros!) and to Penni for being such a great swap partner.
  
This was a one-time swap where you sent the following to your partner:

1 book from their wish list
1 book you love and recommend they read
1 other book of your choice that you think they'll enjoy

And just look at all this loot!


The Friends We Keep by Susan Mallery - This is a book that Penni loved. She's a big fan of Susan Mallery so now I'll be reading my first from her favorite author. :)

 Cuff Me by Lauren Lane - A book that looked interesting that Penni thought I would enjoy. Now what Penni didn't know was that I've already read one book by LL (Crushed) and really enjoyed it and have been meaning to read more by her ever since. So she really could not have chosen better!

 Did I Mention I Love You by Estelle Maskame - I've been hearing so much buzz about the DIMILY series and I'm excited to experience it for myself.

 Also included: a fun coloring book, colored pencils, a gorgeous key chain with my initial, a super cute bag filled with nail polishes and manicure tools, and a wonderful handwritten card. 

 This was such a great experience - and not just the swap, but also getting to know Penni. I wouldn't hesitate to take part in this one again. 

 Have you participated in any swaps lately? Or just received some fun bookish mail?

      Thanks girl! This was a super fun swap - one that I'll definitely do again. There was an option to do US only or international. I was a little concerned about the cost of shipping a package overseas so I just went went US only this time.
