SWL ~ Book themed swap

This is a reading/book themed swap with a few different aspects to it. I wanted to host a reading/book swap but not just a letter, I wanted to spice it up a little! So here's what we are going to do...

1) One partner & international.

2) You will be writing your partner 1 letter talking all about books and answering the questions below. Please write in the comments below whether you have a preference handwritten or not.

3) Included in the letter you will be sending 1 item to go with it. Only something small. I would think along the lines of a bookmark, a bookplate, a book/reading themed ATC, themed ephemera or stationery like a postcard or starionery with a reading/book theme, maybe a hot drink to drink whilst reading? Please check your partners profile for ideas, and avoid sending something they wouldn't use. For example, if your partner does not make or trade ATC's, perhaps don't send them an ATC. Try and keep it swap related and not just send some random stickers.

Handmade or storebought.

4) Decorate your envelope nicely before sending off in the mail. This doesn't have to be swap theme.

Your letter Please don't just print off these questions & answer them with 1 sentence. Use these questions as prompts to talk, discuss in your letter, along with an introduction/about you, and maybe some discussion about your love for reading/books and what you are reading at the moment, etc.

• What is one of your all-time favourite books?

• Are you a fast or slow reader?

• What do you like to do whilst reading? (Snacks, reading in bed or in a library, etc)

• What book did you read last and what you did think of it?

• Choose a few books on your "to-read" pile and tell me about them. Why do you want to read them?

• Can you recommend me a book?

If you have a goodreads account or something similar, it might be helpful to post that in the comments below so your partner could look at your profile/shelves & get an idea of things you like to read so we could talk about it in our letters. However this isn't required!

This is a type 3 swap because you are decorating the envelope & some people may include a handmade item. You are not required to send a parcel. A letter and a storebought bookmark in a decorated envie is an example of what is required.

Enjoy, bookworms! :)
