I signed up a few weeks ago for a book and nail polish swap through blogs that I follow. I thought it would be a fun way to make a blog friend and also let them decide the next book I was going to read. I got paired up with Amanda over at Dragonflight Dreams. She writes a great blog, check her out. The idea of the swap was to check out your partners interest and send them a book and polish that you think they'd like. Amanda did great!
Here's my polish.
Pretty nice, huh?
The book she sent was something on my wish list. I admit that I'm only a third of the way through it but I am loving every word.
This is set in 1920s Australia about a man and wife on duty for a lighthouse on a remote island. They deal with life in solitude and several miscarriages. That's a very basic synopsis. There's a great deal more to the story but I don't want to ruin it for anyone thinking of reading it! I highly recommend it!
This was my first swap and I will definitely sign up for more. Its so fun waiting for a package to come in the mail that's a surprise!
And a very Happy Birthday to my blog inspiration, Stephanie!! She writes atLife According to Steph and is hilarious. Check her out if you don't already follow her!
This book has been on my wish list, will defiantly have to move it up!
