Description:

Not all group members are required to join this swap, this is just for fun, if you wish to try a challenge or if you're not sure where to start!

Information about the Unread Shelf Project can be found here and the monthly challenge list can be found HERE

The suggested book for May is: a backlist title (book by an author with a newer book out)

So, if you have a book on your TBR from an author with a newer book out, now is the time to read that book! If you don't have a book on your TBR that fits this category, choose ANY book on your TBR! This is open to interpretation as much as possible. You are being rated on sending a swap about a book on your TBR, not if it fully fits this category, ok? :)

After sign up ends and your partners are assigned, just send them an email (you can send the same email to all 3 partners, just be sure to use BCC to send the emails) with the book title and author and then just a few lines about

if you liked the book or not,

if you couldn't finish it, why did you decide not to finish it?

That's it! You don't have to write a book report or review - unless you want to. This swap and the series and the group is more about helping and supporting everyone to tackle the TBR lists than book reviews and recommendations.

Monthly challenges for the year will be:

May - a backlist title (by an author with a newer book out)

June - a book from a series

July - a book voted for you by Bookstagram (or other bookish community)

August - a buddy read

September - a book you’ve owned so long, you forgot where it came from

October - a book that scares you - in content or length

November - a book from your favorite genre

December - the shortest book on your shelf

This list of categories was generated by The Unread Shelf. If something doesn't fit, that's ok. You don't have to join that month's swap. This is just for fun and to help us all tackle our TBR's, find books we all enjoy reading and tame the stacks and lists that we all have.

If you have any questions Please PM me with your questions and I'll reply just as soon as I can.

A few suggestions -

Stpehen King has a new book out (If It Bleeds and it's amazing!!) so if you have one by him on your shelf, it will fit this.

Jennifer Weiner has a new book out in May, so if you have any of her older books on your shelf, it will fit.

Nora Roberts/JD Robb seems to ALWAYS have a new book out, so anything by her/them will fit.

There is a new "Hunger Games" book out in May, so if you have the previous 3 on your shelf, it would work for this one.

And Lucy Foley has a new book out in May, so if you have her older book, The Hunting Party hanging around from last year, that will work too!
