A USA sender's choice swap for the bibliophiles...

You will send your partner one (1) of each of the following:

  • a blank book themed postcard: this can be a quote, a library, an author, a book cover, as long as it is clearly related to the book world, it's good (it may be store bought, handmade, or zazzle.)

  • a letter about your favorite book: describe the premise, what (if anything) it taught you, what attracted you to read it in the first place, your favorite character, any trivia you know about it's author, etc.; letters may be hand-written or typed, there is no minimum length but be sure your partner is able to get a good sense of how special the book is to you.

  • an index card with your top five (5) favorite books: include the authors' names and approximately how many times you've read each one; you can decorate the card however you wish.

  • a bookmark: store bought or handmade, please do not send "freebie" advertisement bookmarks from libraries or book stores.

  • something to read: a magazine page, a copy of your favorite poem, a newspaper clipping, etc.; make sure you send the complete story.

  • a book page craft made by you: page may be from any type of book (children's, novel, music, instructions, etc.), you can make anything: an ATC, a bookmark, an envelope (must be large enough to mail), an ornament, etc.; if you choose to make a bookmark, you must send a second bookmark as well to fulfill the previous bookmark requirement, both bookmarks may be handmade.

You are sending your partner a total of six (6) items.

Details: USA only, newbies welcome, no 3s or 1s within the past two (2) months, must have logged into SB at least two (2) days prior to partners being assigned, no exceptions. As for flaking, I will angel only after you have made contact with your partner and have left a one rating. If you are given a one (1) when participating in one of my swaps, I will ban you from all future swaps that I host.

If you have questions, please pm me. If it is something that should be clarified for all participants, I will post an update in the comments.

can the "something to read" be a book?

mandigutterrose 09/10/2016 #

Yes, be sure to use adequate postage though.

I love this idea.

Missir 09/11/2016 #

Right.
