Blogger Book Swap Reveal

Last month I participated in the Blogger Book Swap through Chaotic Goddess Swaps. This is one of their most popular swaps and it is held several times a year. I  find swaps to be a fun way to get to know other bloggers out there. Plus I get to give and receive fun things! You can read my original post on the swap here. I was paired with Wendy from A Day In The Life On A Farm. I was delighted to get to know Wendy and found that we had a similar taste in books. 

The objective was to mail three books:

1. One book you love
2. One book you're interested in but haven't read
3. One book from your partners wish list

Here is what I sent Wendy:

A book I loved:

Behind The Beautiful Forevers

By: Katherine Boo

A book I'm interested in:

The Plum Tree

By: Ellen Marie Wiseman

A book from her wish list:

Henrietta's War

By: Joyce Dennys

Wendy made selections for me that were all on my wish list. Here is what she chose for me:

A book she loved:

Hotel On The Corner Of Bitter And Sweet

By: Jamie Ford

A book she'd like to read:

Seriously...I'm Kidding

By: Ellen Degeneres

A book on my wish list:

My Father's Paradise: A Son's Search For His Family's Past

By: Ariel Sabar

 I'm looking forward to reading all of my selections. I hope she is too! What are you reading?

Mug o' Comfort Swap Reveal

I mentioned a month ago that I was participating in the Mug o' Comfort Swap through the Chaotic Goddess Swaps here. For this swap I had the pleasure of being partnered with Jeni from Jeni Eats. She has a fantastic food blog where she shares recipes from meals she prepares at home, as well as restaurant reviews from eats on the road. I am so glad for the opportunity to discover Jeni's blog because two of my favorite things are cooking and eating! I love to follow along to see what she makes next.

Here is what I sent Jeni:

I chose an oversize mug from C Wonder. In addition, I included a $5 gift card to Starbucks, a box of Tazo tea and a chocolate treat.

Here is what she sent me:

I love that she chose local made products to send. The mug is from Market 124 and the honey came from Griffin Bee Farm in Iowa.

She also sent along a little note with this great postcard:
