The Anonymous Book Exchange: Holiday Edition

Here's how it works:

1. Bring a wrapped book you loved (one that changed you, made you laugh, kept you up at night—whatever moved you)
2. Write 3 sentences about it on a card (no title, no author, just the feeling of the book)
3. Someone else presents YOUR book to the group while you present THEIRS (books stay wrapped!)
4. Decide: Keep your mystery book or put it in the swap pile
5. Trade, negotiate, trust your gut during the swap round
6. Unwrap together at the end and discover what found you
   

Why this is different:
Because your favorite book deserves better than a Goodreads star rating. Because strangers who love books make better recommendations than any algorithm. Because we believe in serendipity, shared taste, and the magic of not knowing what's next.

What to bring:
One wrapped book + an open mind

What to expect:
Community, hot cocoa, surprise, probably some friendly chaos, and definitely a new book to start your year with
