The Swap
The Swap: and Other Stories | George Layton
25 posts
The coach started to move off. I felt frightened. All these weeks, looking forward to it, and now I did'nt want to go. Please, Mum, let me go home. She was running alongside, waving her hanky and crying... He'd nagged his mother for weeks to let him go on the school exchange, swapping his home in the backstreets of a northern town for a posh house in London. With a proper family. With a dad. But now it was all going wrong...

Repost for @kstadt929 :
I was inspired by my new Funko POP to host my first swap!!

It‘s an easy swap - send 1 Funko POP and 1 book to your match. It could be themed (such as Harry Potter or Disney) or no theme. I‘m hosting it through Elfster so you can add specific Funko POPs you‘d like to your wishlist.

To join, sign up by March 6. Opening day is April 15. US only. #FunkoPopAndBookSwap

kstadt929 Thanks for sharing! I hope more will join us! 😁 6y

Thank you for my goodies, @Insearchofbooks ! And thank you to @Avanders for organizing the #fallingforfallswap!!

Chrissyreadit Your mug looks so pretty! 6y
Avanders 🎃🎉🎃🎉🎃 Love that mug! 6y
LegosAndPajamas I‘m glad you like it!!! Also, is case you didn‘t see the instructions on the hot chocolate (they‘re hidden in tiny print at the bottom of the back label lol), you need to add your milk or water while it‘s boiling. Then you get a super thick, almost-almost-pudding italian-style hot chocolate 💜 (edited) 6y

JoScho @JoeStalksBeck you are so sweet! Honestly I signed up last minute because I was on the fence because I have a lot going on. I am in the middle of moving and my life is chaos right now and I am about to go back to work. I know you already have a partner but thanks for offering to be mine again. I will pass this time because chaos! You are the best! 6y
JoeStalksBeck @JoScho If you‘re sure! I don‘t mind at all 6y
Wife Just curious, are we matched in pairs?🌹Super fine either way. 6y
Wife Thank you🌹 6y

@rsheldr I received my box!! I‘m guessing this is for the #harrypotterswap ? I love getting swap boxes!! (Ps the top corner came untaped so the white tape on the box says it was resealed at the USPS. It doesn‘t look like there was a very large opening so I‘m guessing everything is still inside!) Can‘t wait for opening day!!! @BookaholicNatty

rsheldr Yay! I'm glad you recieved it and sorry they had to repackage it! 6y
kstadt929 @rsheldr It‘s okay! I wish opening day was closer because I‘m dying to know what‘s inside 😁 6y

Super excited for a #shortstoryswap. Thanks for setting it up CSeydel.

Also someone please teach me how to use hashtags here bc I can‘t figure out how to tag anything but books or other users. And can you only tag those at the end?? So confused 🤷‍♀️

CindyE09 Oh wait the hashtag did it automatically. That was easier than I was thinking. Never mind 🤗 6y
shadowspeak17 If you want to tag someone in the body of your post rather than in the separate section, just put @ before their Litsy handle wherever you want to reference them in your post and it will tag them. Like this: @CindyE09 6y
CindyE09 @shadowspeak17 ohhhh thanks!!! 6y

shadowspeak17 No problem 😊 6y
BrentMWiggins To add to @shadowspeak17 's post, to leave a hashtag, type"#" followed by an interest or synonym next to the "#" all as one word for each separate hashtag. #hashtag #paperbacksonly #noebooks 6y

It's been a weird week, possibly changing jobs, I have an interview tomorrow y'all send some positive vibes! ❤️ I'm packing up and mailing two swaps today, y'all will have them by Thursday or Friday, sorry to be a little later than anticipated. Life is currently kicking me in the ass XD here's a cute picture of my niece insisting that we snuggle this morning before I was allowed to drink my coffee 😭

LoverofLit Sleepy snuggles and then coffee is the best ❤ I hope your week starts looking up! Your #hpswap package should be there Wednesday so hopefully that perks you up 😁 7y

Sharing the new #LitsySwapGuidelines which I think have been very well written and sum up the true nature of the Litsy Community, and have been very well written. Well done to all of those involved in writing these. A cracking job! 👏👍🍾❤️

As has been said by others treat others as you would like to be treated yourself and I know this is something all Littens are committed to. 😊

HotMessJess Good reminders for everyone!!! 7y
