Books 'n' Bloggers Swap Haul

The Books 'n' Bloggers Swap is easily our most popular swap over at Chaotic Goddess Swaps.  There's just something lovely about new books that gets people excited and raring to go!  That's why we do it twice a year!   This time I was partnered up with the lovely Rachel from Rainy Days and Rubber Ducks!    Rachel was a fast shipper (I received my books a week before they were due to be sent!).


Rachel also picked out some fantastic books for me.  The idea is that you send your partner a book that you've read and loved, a book that you want to read, and a book from their wishlist.  The Blog Inc book was on my wishlist-and I'm not sure which the other two were as she didn't identify them, but I am excited to read them-they all look really good and like something I could really get into.


Rachel also sent some fun goodies along!  There was a cute book mark, some Oregon Chai tea, some other tea packets, and a bar of Dagoba Chocolate which I ate the minute I opened the box.  No self control.  Can you tell that the wrapper is folded here to make it look like the chocolate bar exists still?  It was yummy.


I recommend you visit Rachel because she's awesome!  Also, make sure you head on over to Chaotic Goddess Swaps to see what everyone else sent and received.  If you're looking for our next swap, it will be another favorite-the Local Flavor Swap where you send someone a box of goodies from your area and sign ups will go live on Monday, July 21st so keep an eye out!
