About event
Are you looking for new books to read? Looking for recommendations from people who enjoy the same books you do? Or maybe you want to share your favorite books with new friends.
Each person will bring a book (or two) to swap, but the catch is that you can ONLY judge these books by their covers, because each one will be wrapped to disguise it's real cover and given only a few clues as to what it's about. Your book(s) must have magic as part of their story/plot, but can be YA, comedy, horror, sci-fi, or anything else you have enjoyed reading and want to share. Wrap your book in craft paper or similar and decorate if you wish.
On the front, write a few keywords or a teaser sentence (e.g., “Time travel, Found Family, 1920s”). You could even include the first line of the book—just no spoilers. Aim for 3 clues that will help others determine if they might like the book.
