Pick a book at random and find your new favorite!

It’s the season of giving, so give the gift of reading and discover your next literary obsession with our Book Swap. Everyone brings in a wrapped, well-loved used book. Then each person in order can choose to pick an unwrapped book or steal one from a previous player.

Each gifter will be asked to describe their book, so make sure you bring an old favorite to introduce to a new friend. Pick a book sight-unseen, or steal something that sounds good. Gush over a classic and convince everyone that it’s the book to steal!
