Blogger Book Swap

BloggerBookSwap

I recently participated in an awesome book swap hosted by The Simplicity, Spillerena, Spunkyrella, Three31,run(dance)love, & I Believe in Story. It has been my favorite swap for a lot of reasons; I love to read, I love to meet new people, and because all of the hosts had a weekly link up, which made it so much fun! You can take a look at those link ups here, here, here, here, & here.

I was partnered up with an amazing gal, Bri. We were able to connect with each other and share more than just swap packages and I am happy to have a new friend in the blogosphere! Bri blogs over at School In Our Slippers and is a Independent Executive Director and consultant for My Thirty One Gifts. She sent me such a lovely package and I was totally excited to get it!

First of all, she wrapped it up so lovely with cute tissue paper and a tie & flower clip!



Bri had asked me in one of our many email exchanges if there were any particular books I wanted. I am really glad she asked because I have been wanting to get Eat Pray Love again. I had that book back when it first came out and it was like a personal Bible for me. I had highlighted it, made notes, underlined, had tabs... it was very important to me! I lent it to a co-worker who later was fired and she never returned the book to me! I was devastated. I may, or many not, had sent her a few nasty emails about hijacking my book....
Anyway, Bry sent it to me along with one of my faves, The Shack, and a fave book of hers - The Pilot's Wife. I am definitely diving in to The Pilot's Wife next!!



Holy moly peoples... she sent me two amazing bags from her catalog! A personalized zipper pouch and an OWL COIN PURSE!!!! Thanks Bri!



I sure hope Bri enjoys the books and goodies I sent her! Both of the books meant a great deal to me so I am hoping she can find meaning and importance in them as well. 

I want to thank all of the hosts for this amazing book swap! I can't wait to participate in another and host my very own in December for my online book club, Thread the Pages.

  7. That owl is pretty much the cutest thing ever!
    I've never read any of those books, but I've seen a lot of their covers! I worked at a book store for a while and those were really popular titles. I hope you enjoy!

  10. I love those purses!! They are so cute and now I am going to go check out her store. It's funny but about a month ago I bought all those books. I have yet to read any of them though. I hope you post about how good(bad?) they are!

  11. Love the idea of this book swap. The Pilot's Wife is on my TBR pile. Haven't heard particularly great things about Eat, Pray, Love though.

  12. Those purses are so cute! My sister in law has the first one with her name on it, I wonder if she got it from the same place.

  15. How fun! I wish I were even a tiny bit talented at gift-wrapping. Mine all match and are symmetrical, but not creative at all. :) Glad you received some books you're sure to enjoy!
