Book Swap!

Happy Monday (if such a thing can exist?). I am linking up for another book swap!! This time I was linked up with someone I actually know...in real life. I was paired up with Becca for this swap. Not gonna lie, at first I was bummed because I KNOW how much Becca reads and sure enough, e.v.e.r.y book I thought about swapping with her, she had already read! Girl has mad fast reading skillz.

{Becca, Jessica and I, March 2012}

But we did  use the opportunity to meet in person, where I had my first taste of "fro-yo", and we exchanged not one, but two books!

What we ended up doing, was perusing each other's Goodreads accounts to see what was on our respective "to-read" lists. Then, we also lent each other a book that we already owned and had enjoyed. Once again, the first three books I own that I wanted to lend Becca, she had already READ!! LOL...

New books!

Right: On my Goodreads "to-read" list

So I lent her one of my fave books from one of my fave chick lit authors. But I'll let Becca tell you about that!

I have only just begun, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, but so far I am enjoying it, a lot. I've just been way busy and haven't had much time to read lately. But I am hoping life slows down soon and I can actually finish a freakin' book!

Thanks again to Heather & Katie for hosting this swap! And thanks to my swap pal, Becca for a new book!

XOXO,

Nichole

Swapping Fools

Happy, Happy Monday! I am linking up with Amber & Sarah for another fun swap! I was paired with the oh so sweet, Cami, and I am so glad to have "met" her! Not only is she also a Florida girl, she is a coffee lover and wine-o, like myself. After getting to know each other a bit, we sent our goodies out! We actually sent verrry similar things to one another (though no wine, lol!) from nail polish choices to fun notepads from the dollar section at Target (a spot I am somewhat obsessed with)...

I love it all, thanks again Cami <3

Valentine Swap Reveal

Happy Monday, ya'll! I linked up with Tara, Celia and Meg for another fun swap! I have to say I'm becoming a tad addicted to these things! It's fun to "meet" other bloggers and send them (and receive!) some loot to boot!

I was paired up with Lauren over at Wayferes and Worksheets. I had already been perusing her blog so I was actually pretty excited to be paired with her! Girl cracks me up with her posts, for serious.

She got me some awesome gifts and I can't wait to read her post about the goods I sent her :)

Some sweets, cute stickers, notepad (always need those!), a mini pedi pack, cute dish towels

Thanks, Lauren! Hope you liked your goodies, too!
