Book Exchange Party October 1, 2011

Stack of Books

Fall is a great time to curl up on the couch with a good book. Looking for some new reading material? Host a book exchange party to swap the beach reads that you’ve accumulated over the summer. Invite friends over and ask them to bring at least three books (in good condition) that they’ve previously enjoyed and are willing to part with. Place them on a large table, categorized by genre (fiction, novels, self-help, etc.), and let guests exchange their books for an equal number. Serve some cozy snacks and tasty drinks to keep the bookworms happy.
