Books 'n' Bloggers Swap Sign-ups

Tuesday, January 7, 2014




Good morning!  It's a balmy nine degrees here in Central Alabama.  Our power went out overnight, and I'm so *happy* it's back on.  YAY!

Chaotic Goddess Swaps is hosting another Books 'n' Bloggers Swap.  Here's some information about how YOU can participate:

Your Swap Objective:

Send your partner THREE books:
A book you love
A book you haven't read but are interested in
A book from your partner's wish list

Books 'n' Bloggers Swap Rules:

Packages must contain 3 books that fit the criteria stated in the Swap Objective.
Send books that fit your partner's genre preferences.
You must respond to emails from the swap hosts within a timely fashion.
Books MUST be mailed on or before February 1st, set to arrive by February 5th!
You must send a tracking number for your package to your partner and to us at Chaotic Goddess Swaps.
You MUST post and link up your swap reveal post. This is non-negotiable.

I've signed-up, and I can't wait to share and receive books in early February.

You might have noticed today's Google Doodle.  It celebrates one of my favorite authors (and Alabamian) Zora Neal Hurston.  Hurston was a key artist during the Harlem Renaissance.


Happy Birthday!

Their Eyes Were Watching God is one of my favorite books...I love that Janie! Hurston was brilliant in the way she wrote vernacular dialect with the characters' dialogue and standard English for the narrator. 


An American classic


Have you read a classic lately?

Until next time...

Blessings!

  1. Cold and no power! You poor things!!! So happy it didn't last long.

    'Tis brutal up in "Yankeee Land", this morning. Cold temps and wind. Ouch...

    Golly, have I read a Classic lately? Mmmm, no. What I'm doing at the moment, is trying to get out of the "Cozy Reading" Mode, into which I got, before Christmas. Trying to spread my wings and fly off into YA Lit, again. :-) Started with "Splintered" and can't wait to get back into "The Golem and the Jinni"!

    I say, "get back into," because I have a habit of starting a couple of books, at once. :-)

    Stay warm. Stay reading. Gentle hugs...

  7. Yay! So happy you're joining us for the swap! :)
    I LOVE Their Eyes Were Watching God. Some of the most valuable class discussions I had in high school came from reading this book. I didn't know Hurston was from AL! Well done, state! :)
