Swap-bot 'ate' a swap I had in the main forum, so I'll re create it here in the group! Take that swap-bot. :)
Several states are hosting a "read four" reading program this summer, where you would pledge to read four books over the course of the summer. I hosted a series of swaps for June, July, and August (and had a re-cap for September) where we would list the books we had read since the beginning of the month (including audio books), and list at least 4 books we hoped to read before August 31st. So, we're going to do a re-cap with that idea here now.
This swap will beinternational, but will be flat mail, so not terribly expensive to send. You will have 3 partners.
This is just a note or letter (typed or handwritten is fine), listing the books with title and author that you have read, or listened to, over the summer, from June 1st to August 31. This can include books you read to your children, audio books you listened to in the car, etc. If there was a book you really enjoyed, please feel free to recommend it to your partner! You don't have to write a review or a book report, but you can if you would like.
Since this is a recap, also include books you had hoped to read this summer, but didn't get to for whatever reason. Be sure to list the title AND author to the books. If you can't really remember, check www.goodreads.com - everything is listed there, and you can create a free account to keep track of all the books you have read, wish to read, and when new ones come out. It's a great site, and it's just record keeping, nothing to buy. :) If you are a member of Good Reads, you can NOT just print off your list. That doesn't cut it for this swap. Also, a post card won't cut it for this swap. You need to write or type a message to your partner with the information.
So- recap:
International
3 partners
note/letter of titles and authors of books (and audio books) you have read from June 1st to August 31st
List of books you had hoped to read, but didn't get to
You can start on this swap when you sign up, you do not need to wait for partners to be assigned. This will be a quick send, and you need to mail by the last date. (I'm giving a little extra time due to Labor Day here in the USA, when mail won't be delivered, post offices won't be open.)
I will angel this swap if anyone flakes, but there's really no reason to flake, right?
All group members in good standing are welcome to join, and I hope to see lots sign up! You need to sign in to swap-bot w/in 3 days of the last sign up date (so I know you're still active!!), you need to have a WELL filled out profile, and any 1's or 3's since December 2016 need to be explained. If you've taken a 'break' and not been swapping for 3 or more months, it's a good idea to note that on your profile! Being active is a good thing here on swap-bot. :)
As always, questions, comments or concerns, please PM me. I don't always see the comments left below.
