Hello Ladies, next week we will get our partners for the swap. Everyone should be getting their packages together and gathering ideas. If you have any questions be sure to ask. Let's list some of our favorite authors here to give our partners some ideas. 1. Fav authors 2. Type of books? 3. Fav colors? 4. Fav scents? 5. Any allergies or dislikes? 6. Other things you want to share

1. I like Debbie Macomber cedar cove series, James Patterson, Stephen Kings newest book, Joann Flukes 3rd on in her cake murder series, Sandra Brown, Nora Roberts newest book,
2. mystery, thrillers, funny, light themed romance, drama, real life crime [see my Amazon wish list under dbvbookwurm]
3. pink, burgundy,purple,blues
4. apple cinnamon, vanilla, hazelnut
5. none, do not like smoke,don't like dark colors
6. I am a crocheter and love to walk,outdoors like beach and mountains, and like garfield, love all animals, and like shopping.

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.

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.

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

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........

Authors I love are: Dorothy Parker, Zelda Fitzgerald, Hunter S. Thompson, Anais Nin, Charles Bukowski

I am not really into floral scents...I like earthy or fruity scents esp. grass or cherry:) I am allergic to Pine (even scents)...

Finally I got the ok to assign. So everyone should have your partners now. And be looking over their partners likes and dislikes and also should email their partner to let them know who they are and get ready to mail out their packages. Happy swapping gals...and email with any questions.

I forgot to come back in here and list info, most of it is in my profile anyway but... I enjoy reading suspense/mystery, my fav authors are James Patterson (Alex Cross Series), Patricia Caldwell (Kay Scarpetta Series), Edna Buchanan (Brit Montaro Series). I'm not into romance (books)at all!!
