Preview to Summer Book Swap

It's finally time to reveal our book care packages! First, a huge thank you to all of the co-hosts for organizing this awesome swap. It has been great reading everyone's posts for the weekly link-ups and I hope everyone received some great new reads (and made some new friends)!

I was paired up with Kim from The Simplicity and I really enjoyed getting to know her better over these last few weeks. We exchanged some great emails - about books, yes, but also about life in general. She's a great girl and you'll be doing yourself a favour if you go check out her blog.

I was so excited when my book care package arrived in the mail! Kim and I kept everything a surprise, so I had no idea what to expect. She put together a great parcel! Everything was wrapped in a gorgeous silver wrapping paper that isn't pictured here because my Mom - visiting for the week - threw it out before I had a chance to take pictures.

The notecard Kim sent is adorable and she left a great message inside, including her reasoning behind all three of the books she sent me (yes, three)! She spoiled me. Kim chose three completely different books and I haven't read any before, so I have happily added them to my giant to-read pile.

Aside from the books, she also sent a small notebook (you can never have enough notebooks) with an awesome zebra pattern and three of her unique birds nest pendants!

A huge thank you to Kim for being a great swap partner! I truly appreciate the time and care you put into finding the books and putting together the other items for my parcel. I'm going to go read now. ;)
