Bookswappin' Time!

It's been several months since I last hosted a book swap- far too long in my opinion! So go raid your bookshelves, tweet or Facebook your friends, and let's start swapping!

If you've never participated in a book swap before don't worry, it's simple. Find books that you own that you are willing to swap and post a list as well as your wishlist. You will also need to share an email address so people can contact you if they are interested in swapping. To avoid spammers, write your email address like this: youremailhere(at)domainname(dot)com. Lastly, if you are limited in the amount of books you can ship or if you are not able to ship internationally please state so that in your post. All right, sound good? Great!

Here are my books available to swap:
Where Courage Calls by Laurel Oke Logan and Janette Oke
Summer of Joy by Ann H. Gabhart
Firstborn by Lorie Ann Grover (ARC)

I know there aren't many. I'm afraid my library has received quite a few from me lately. As for my wishlist, I'm flexible. If you're interested in one simply send me a message at writingsofrosie(at) gmail(dot)com and we'll see what we can do. :-) Please feel free to spread the word about the swap. I look forward to seeing your lists!

Has it Really Been Two Years? {Writings of Rosie's Second Anniversary!}

Wow! I can hardly believe it's been two years since I began blogging. Originally I started out for the books, but since then I have come to befriend and value the people I encounter daily on the Internet. I have gotten so much out of this experience in just two years that I get so excited to think about the years to come. My dreams are big. The possibilities are endless. I'm reaching for the sky!

It is a delight blogging and promoting Godly Christian fiction. I am eager to do more of it, however, as several of you might have noticed, I am backing off from book reviews for a couple months. Too easily I find my schedule clogged and myself overwhelmed. Thus it's time for things to change. Does this mean I will no longer be doing book reviews? Absolutely not! I love reading and I love the interaction I have with publishers and authors alike. This does mean that I will be slowing things down in the coming months and that I shall be introducing more posts about my thoughts and of life in general. One day it is my desire to have a balance of both book reviews and regular, casual, blogging. But I'm afraid that dream is still several months off.

So to celebrate the blog's second birthday (albeit a week late...) Writings of Rosie shall be hosting another book swap beginning Wednesday (April 16th). Feel free to come by the blog Wednesday morning to post your lists, take a look at mine, and start swapping! [U.S. participants only, please. Sorry!] 

I hope you'll stick with me through this season of transition and I hope you're as excited for the future of this blog as I am. God bless!
