There generally isn't enough time! Someone usually snaps them up in seconds haha :) x

If you still have it I would love to read it.

[Debbie]

Who would like Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult? I've just finished it 😊

[D.L.]

I would love the Jodi piccoult book!

[Debbie]

dm me your address & I'll pop it in the post! I really enjoyed it. It was one of my bookclub choices this month 😊

[Gabby]

I have a few books I'd like to send on if anyone in the UK/Europe would like to do a swap. Your choice of book to send back! I really want to read some of others favourite books
I have The Vegetarian by Han Kang, The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton and also The Muse by Jessie Burton and Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald too!

Who wants them? ☺️

[Marina]

Meee! I'd love to swap some! I live in Portugal! Can I have Z: À Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald?

[Gabby]

Yeah sure, sorry I can't reply properly because I'm using the app.
It might take me a week or so because I'm just finishing it but you are welcome to have it afterwards if you DM me your address :)

[Elsa]

Gabby, I would like the Muse by Jessie Burton. I live in US Oklahoma.

[Gabby]

I can't currently send that far because I'm a bit poor but if you still want it in a couple of weeks then I'm sure that's fine :)

[Elsa]

I can wait. Send it when you can, I'll patiently wait for it.

thank you

[Christine]

Great idea! I just gave all my recent reads to my mom lol

Would love The Vegetarian if it's still available :)

[Gabby]

Sure! DM me your address and I'll send it out at the end of the week :)

Sorry. I'll be mailing it to Marina above. But perhaps she could pass it on to you when she's done? I hope you get a copy sometime; it is definitely worth reading.

I'm new to this group, and would like some more background information. Is this book swap reserved only for a specific genre of books, and how do we send the books? Would they give us their address over email? I wouldn't think they would do it in the comments. Is it generally accepted for the person who is giving the book to pay for the shipping also? Or what is usually done?

Hi Andrew :) There is no specific genre, you can swap any kind of book you like. So when you are done reading your book, you can say you have a book with such and such title in the comments here. Once someone answers here in comments they would like the book, ask them to message you their address (direct message not here in comments). Then you can ship the book to them and yes, you pay for the shipping. Next time when someone else has a book they would like to swap they will announce it here and if you are quick enough (first to comment) they will send it to you (and now they pay for the shipping). Hope it makes sense :)

[[deleted user]]

Thank you Michela that makes a lot of sense :)

[Jenn]

Oh this is fun! I will have to see what I have when I get home and post one.

[Judith]

No problem. Let's hear from marina if she sees this.

I have two books I received from Goodreads Giveaways that I don't know what to do with because they are Advance Readers Copy/Uncorrected Proof. Is anyone interested in a slightly used arc of one of these?
