Ok so i thought i'd try something new...

In this swap you will keep a record of all the books you have read in the month of February & March. You will hand write on whatever you wish be it a piece of paper or notecard or a small journal... just make sure it is detailed and you have enough room to fit all the info.

Here are the requirements:

-Title and author

-Brief description of the book

-Rating of the book..was it 10/10? did you enjoy it? Would you recommend it to your partner?

-Favorite quote in the book or paragraph

-Must include a photocopy of page 58 for your partner to read :) feeling generous? Include page 59 too!! You don't have to do this with every book though just your favorite read..

Feeling creative? Why not draw your partner a picture of what you think your character looks like? or send a print out or magazine cut out of what you think the house looks like in the book? Or include a free bookmark to do with the book if you happen to have one? Or even send a tea bag to your partner for their enjoyment. I will leave it up to you.

Keep it interesting and be a little creative to spice the letter up a little :)

To join this swap the only requirement is that you must be able to read a minimum of 4 books within the month of February and March... You must also include the above mentioned information and a photocopy of page 58 of your favorite book you read within the 2 months.

The creativity side of things i will leave to you as not everyone can draw but i know everyone is able to cut copy and paste so try make it worthwhile for your partner... One idea could be a mini junk journal? A collage?

Any questions feel free to ask! Happy swapping book lovers!

I'd love to participate in this, as there are loads of possibilities with this, but could you separately mention the basic requirements of the swap? It would make the swap so much easier to rate!

Swap has been edited... as long as your partner sends you a minimum of 4 books with the above mentioned information and a copy of page 58 from one of their books then its a 5 for rating. If they include extras like a tea bag or drawings etc then give them a heart :) Is that better? x

This might seem like a very silly question, can we do kids books? I have a young boy so don't get to read as often as I'd like. However, I get through small person books by the tens. Can I put in some of both? :) Xx

What age group are the kids books? The problem is are there enough pages for you to include page 58 of the book? I'm happy with young adult books or books like Hugo Cabret, or Philip Pullmans books etc but if they are only picture books or small chapter books like goosebumps ill have to say no. Personally if you had me for a partner i would love to have you do all kids books because i love them myself but it wouldn't be fair if you got someone as a partner who didn't like kids books... The point is to expand peoples love of reading and get them interested in a book they may not generally pick up themselves...

I have read a couple of adult books as well and the kids books age vary. For those I was thinking of doing more of them and more with them. Have read 2 adult books and I'm on my third but not finished and probably won't by next week. If allowed to join I know I'll enjoy the art side of this and will make sure the books I choose are very varied. :) we read all kinds and I read graphic novels too. I guess what I'm asking is does it have to just be bog standard novels or would you allow me to mix it up a bit? :D Xx

natasa20 03/19/2014 #

Yep that is completely fine then! Not a problem at all.... as long as there is a varied mixture there is no problem at all :) enjoy!

Brilliant! Thank you! :) Xx
