This sounds very interesting but is it for a whole year? I'm not sure I want to or can commit to 12 months. How about just 3 months? 6 months? Oh wait....you just sign up by the month, right? ha ha I think I get it now. Hmmmmm.

LOL yeah @tintenn I think you just sign up to do it each month if you want hehe, there will be a new swap for each month

There are new swaps each month. You can sign up for all of them if you wish or just a few. You are not required to sign up every month. Basically I just pick a different book each month. If it is a book you enjoy or that you want to read, sign up.

Hello, this may sound dumb, but I whtdrew the book from the library and It is part of a compendiumn of 'short' stories by Washington Irving? I just want to check as I don't want to accidentally read an abbreviated version of the story!

It is a short story - maybe around 30-40 pgs. I don't remember right off hand how long it is and don't have my copy handy. It is a short read. If you want to you can read some of the other stories if you get a book with other works by Irving, but are not required to for the swap.

Nor sure if anyone else has mentioned this.... But I'm a member of paperbackswap.com and I got my copy of a collection of stories on there. Love that website! I'll be reading it this weekend, and then watching the dvd (got that from the library!) next weekend.
