Do you have a romance or mystery book you’ve finished reading and are ready to pass along? Are you looking for something new to add to your reading list? Join us for our first monthly Book Swap & Read-a-Thon at XIA Books & Café.
Please review the event details and book swap guidelines below.
BOOK SWAP GUIDELINES
• Exchange one book for one book
• Books must be in good condition, with no missing pages and still fully readable
• Annotated books are welcome, but please let your swap partner know in advance
• This month’s theme is Romance and Mystery. We encourage books by AAPI authors and illustrators, though all authors are welcome
• Please wrap your book before the event. You may include a short summary on the wrapping as a hint about the book, similar to a White Elephant exchange
• Participants who successfully trade a book at XIA will receive a 5% coupon for their next XIA Books purchase
READ-A-THON
• Have a book you’ve been meaning to read but need a focused space to enjoy it? Spend the afternoon reading at XIA Books & Café during the event
• A bingo sheet will be provided so you can track the book tropes you come across while reading!
For any questions, please email [email protected].
