The Davis Family: Book Swap

Book Swap

I got involved in this book sharing club and it's pretty cool. I'm in need of 6 people who would like to join with me!

It goes like this:

Send a paperback book that you have already read and enjoyed to the person listed on the back of a letter that you will receive in the mail from me.
There is no need to use a box, a mailing envelope is fine.
You should then receive 36 books if everyone participates!
Then, you make 6 copies of the letter you get from me and put my address label on the back of each copy.
Put 6 of your address labels with each copy of the letter.
Your friends will then have your address label to just stick on the back of their letters.
Mail the letters to 6 different people, but do not send them a book!
You only have to send a book to ONE person, the one on the back of the letter I send to you!

It sounds a little complicated at first, but really all you have to do is mail out one book (you get 36 back in return), and send out your own letters with my address labels to 6 of your friends. It will be interesting to see where the books come from and the variety of books you receive!

I hope that I get some takers because I really want to get some free reading!! So send me your address and lets start swapping some books!

Sarah said...: I'm too cheap to actually buy the books I read but let me know if you want to join my goodreads.com account. It's cool to see what everyone else is reading and see what they suggest. Although I haven't picked up a book since the babe got here and don't know when she'll let me. :)

P.S. I'm coming to Vegas in a couple weeks and I can't wait for you to meet Eva.; October 9, 2008 at 9:07 AM

Our Sweet, Crazy Brody

November, 2008 - Brody wants Christmas to be here soo bad! When he asks me when it will be here, I tell him that we have Thanksgiving first, and then it will be Christmas time. A few days later he comes up to me and asks, "Mom, when do we thanksgive?"
July 29, 2008 - When we were out to dinner at Applebee's, Brody was feeding Jared his apple slices. Jared had a mouthfull and couldn't eat anymore, so he was keeping his mouth shut. Brody insisted on forcing them into his mouth anyway and when Jared wouldn't open up anymore, Brody says "Stop jackin' around Dad!" I could not believe it!! We really need to watch what we say around him!
June 20, 2008 - Brody is totally potty trained now, but I still am in the habit of asking him every 30 minutes if he has to go. When I asked, he says yes and then Jared volunteers to take him. This must have made Brody very happy because his response was "Let's do it bro!" Brody really is very intelligent, even if his sometimes surfer-like vocabulary makes it sound otherwise!!!
June 20, 2008 - Chase was relaxing in his swing and Brody was playing with some toys, each doing their own thing. I was in the kitchen and hear Brody say "Chasers...what up dude?"
June 19, 2008 - While sitting in the McDonald's drive thru, waiting in a forever-long line, Brody asks, "Are you going to open the window, or what?"
May 23, 2008 - I was driving home with the boys in the back seat. I hear Brody counting, but instead of counting in order, he is all over the place....1,10,7,25,63. I ask him, "What kind of counting is that?" Brody explains "I'm counting in Spanish Mommy!" Oh, of course, how could I have not known that!
April 15, 2008 - Jared and I are always telling Brody how smart he is. So now, when Brody asks us about something and we give him an answer, he tells us, "You're so smart!" Nice to know our child thinks we are intelligent also!
March 15, 2008 - The four of us went to breakfast at the Original Pancake House after the Boulder City Easter Egg Hunt. I ordered Brody an orange juice because that is what he wanted. The waitress tells me that it is fresh squeezed and has a lot of pulp in it. I think to myself that it couldn't be that much pulp and tell her that he will be fine. As we are eating, Brody takes a drink of his orange juice and pulls it away with a look of disgust on his face! He hands it to me and says, "It has fuzz in it!" I guess the pulp was a bit too much for him! So, as my punishment for not listening to the waitress, I spend the rest of breakfast drinking from a plastic kiddie cup while having to help Brody every time he wants a drink because I had to hand over my large glass of apple juice.
Jared got home from a hard day of work and was laying on the floor with his eyes closed. Brody walked over to him to see what he was doing. He then pats Jared on top of the head, leans in and asks, "You tired little Buddy?"
Jared and I are no longer Dad and Mom to Brody. He now refers to us as Buddy and Babe when talking to us!
I was flipping through the tv channels and stopped on the Christina Aguilara concert. Brody loves music and started watching it with me. He always comments on girls' hair and says, "She have nice hair, Mommy." I agree with him and say, "Yes, she is very pretty and such a good singer." He continues watching it, very intently, and then comes to the realization, "She have nice boobs too!" I could not believe this! I'm going to have my hands full with this one!
February 7, 2008 - I was getting ready for a doctors appointment and changing my clothes when Brody looks at me, points and asks, "Is that my brother in there?" He is so ready for his baby brother to be here!
Brody is constantly giving my prego belly hugs and kisses because to him, he is giving Chase hugs and kisses when he does this. Jared and I always ask him if he loves his brother and he always says yes. On this day, Brody walked over to my belly, hugged and kissed it and then said, "I love you Chase." Brody melts my heart every day!
I was sitting on the couch, rubbing lotion on my enormous, pregnant, itchy belly when Brody came over and wanted to help. I gave him some lotion to put on my belly. When he was finished, he says "There you go Chase." He is such a caretaker! I love him so much!
December 23, 2007 - I was sitting on the floor with Brody and said "Ouch." Brody is always very concerned when anyone is hurt or in pain so he asked "Are you ok Mommy?" I told him that I was fine. A few moments later, after Brody was thinking for a while, he announces to me "I want to be a doctor, make people feel better!" I could not believe that he had put the two together! What kind of 2 year old has aspirations to be a doctor?! Brody is such a caring and sweet boy, we are so blessed!!!
