Description:

This is an email based swap to help those of us (me included!) who are on a mission to tackle our TBR (To Be Read) book lists! I've also started a group that can be found HERE for anyone who would like to join. The purpose of this swap, and the group, is to help each other along as we work on the books that we've collected to read, but haven't managed yet. :) You do not need to join the group to do this swap, nor do you need to join this swap to join the group.

In scanning through Instagram recently, I came across the Unread Shelf Project 2019, and I thought it was a wonderful idea! It has inspired me and my kids to clear out our book shelves, and for me to look for others with the same goals of the year. :)

The idea attached with the Unshelf Project is that you become accountable for ALL of the books on your shelves. So, ideally, you would list ALL the books you have on your book shelves, in your e-reader, etc. But, for the purpose of this swap, you are only required to list up to 25 books currently on your shelves. But, if you wish, you can certainly do more and really embrace the idea! If you don't have 25 books on your shelf, that's ok, just list what you have. But if you have more than 25 books currently on your shelf, you can list just 25 titles and authors. I hope that makes sense! :)

For this swap, just type up a list of the titles and authors of books you have on your shelves, and then you will EMAIL that list to all of your partners using BCC. You can also include all books on your TBR - it may be books coming out yet, books you have on hand, E-books, audio books, library books, but that is not required.

And ... that's it! :) Make the list of up to 25 books and send it in an EMAIL (NOT through SB messenger, blog links, etc - EMAIL only) using BCC to all of your partners. Send on time, and rate your partners. You will have ONE week to send out to your partners! If you can't send on time, please don't join!

This is NOT a swap to get or improve ratings. This swap is for readers. :) I will check profiles, and I must see a section about books on your profile.

All swappers who join need to have a fully filled out profile. Besides the section relating to books, I will need to see several sections on your profile. No late sends on your dash. 1's & 3's need to be addressed. All swappers need to sign in at least 2 days before the sign up date or you will be banned. I will angel this swap if you are flaked on, once you have rated the partner a 1.

If you have any questions or concerns about a swapper who has signed up, please send me a PM directly. Please do not leave the comments below, as I do not check comments often and may miss you questions.

Do you have any idea how many books I have to read in my house? I mean how long is your TBR? I think I have book issues. I sent a message to join the group.

Great swap idea! I agree with @AZmom875 though, that the swap should have a minimum # of books listed. I could probably list 100 but wouldn't want to. Maybe 25 books?

I think my TBR list is well over 200 at the moment 😳

For every one book I read I seem to find two or three I want to read. So many books, so little time 😜

OK, so I didn't see any of these comments until someone sent me a PM to call my attention to them! So, check out the edit in the swap about the number of books to list.

If there are other questions, please send me a PM or I probably won't see it. I just don't look in the comments section often.

My TBR list is ridiculous at this point, but compiling a list of 25 is totally doable - I'm in! Hopefully, this'll help me put a dent in my list, rather than make it expand because books from other people's lists sound interesting to me! ;)
