I’m trading books with a fellow blogger. I’m spending her three and she’s sending me two. Do I count one as a give-away copy? Do I add points to my score or take any off? I was thinking since I stay with almost the same amount of books to just add the -2 pts for the last book while counting the first two as gifts. Any thoughts?

you have -6 for giveaways
and I think the ones you are getting count as either requests or library — not gifts because you aren’t getting them by surprise or out of the blue with no input from you.
Anyone else?

We have swap sites listed as 5 points, I would think trading with a fellow blogger would count in that, wouldn’t it? Like an informal swap site? I know I’ve been avoiding an informal blogger-only swap site because I assumed any books there would cost me 5 points. You can definitely count the 3 you’re giving away as -6, but I’d be inclined to think you’d have to take 5 points for each of those and end up with 4 points at the end of the transaction. At the very least you’d take 3 points for each and end up even.
