Book Swap Opportunity!

Monday 27 April 2015


Yes, yes it is - but why not be spontaneous once in a while?

I've been looking at my shelves alongside my TBR pile and figured out that it would be nice to swap the 'old with the new' per se. Pretty much all of the books pictured are in mint condition, otherwise they have only been read once - and I take good care of my books! So from this thinking I was wondering if any other Australian readers would be interested in swapping some books with me? 

In terms of postage, an idea of Australia Post pricing is as follows:

Standard satchel (up to 500g) - $8.25
Medium satchel (up to 3kg) - $13.40
Large satchel (up to 5kg) - $17.10

And hey - if there's some extra room in the satchel I may just through in an extra mystery book as well :)

  1. Oh, my! This is a great idea! I would love to trade books with my fellow bookworms here in the Philippines. It would be an awesome experience because I'd be getting new books to read and bond with other people and build trust. You wouldn't mind if I do this too on my blog, right? Amazing and I hope you are successful in getting people to participate!

  3. THIS IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA. Unfortunately my to-get-rid-of-stack would look like identical to yours. >_< I'm coveting Tandem BUUUUT. I won't put my name down for it, just yet. I shall dig through my shelves and see if I have anything that's not on your get-rid-of-list, eheh.

  5. I would love to do something similar to this, but unfortunately I'm a young teen who doesn't have enough allowance for shipping fees, haha. Good luck, though! I hope this brings you new books and new friends as well. :)
