Carpe Librum ~ Reading Journal Swap Int'l

Since it's been asked, in both swaps, to allow smaller notebook/journals, I've altered the size/length requirements. Please see changes below, in the Recap section!

This is the International version of the Journal swap. Please be aware of higher price shipping if you receive an International partner. Only sign up for this swap, if you are able to ship Internationally.

Here we go on our journal swap, that many have said they wanted. Please read all the instructions! This will be a LONG, time consuming swap. Please only join if you can send this big swap. Inspiration for this swap comes from the ~ Journal of Randomness that @JenL did a few months back.

For this journal swap, you will need a full size (8.5x11 or A4) journal or notebook that is at LEAST 70 pages. In the beginning, please include an intro of yourself, as long as you would like to make it. You can treat it like a letter, and tell your partner everything about you, make it good and interesting! After that, there must be at LEAST 50 pages all about books. Please do not make it a 50 page essay on your love of Harry Potter, but include all different kinds of thoughts on a variety of books that you love and reading in general. Some ideas you can use, but are not limited to, are ~ favorite authors, favorite series, favorite books, quotes from books, reading logs, newspaper or short story clippings that you like, your own writings for your partner to read (if you write), where your favorite place to read is, your favorite book store, what you read ("real" books, ereaders), genres you love or hate and so on. If it has to do with books or reading, you can feel free to share your thoughts on it. You may decorate the outside and inside (as long as it doesn't take away from the 50 pages about reading) but it is not required.

Entries can be handwritten or typed, if you want to glue typed pages into it. Just make sure if you type, it's still a full 50 pages

Recap ~

• full size (8.5x11 or A4) journal or notebook 70+ pages
• intro to start, as long as you want
• 50 pages (at least) all about books and reading!
• if you feel like you need to do a smaller notebook, you may do no smaller than 5x7 (A5) but must fill 75 pages about books.

This swap will take a while. Please only join up if you have the time to commit to this swap. You will have 12 weeks after sign ups end. I will make separate US and Intl swaps. Please only sign up for one or the other, unless you know you have the time to send both in the same amount of time. Lateness of sending the swap will result in bans from future swaps or removal from the group.

Have fun, and enjoy! Any comments, questions, concerns, feel free to message me or leave a comment below.
