Description: | |
Each of us will list several books (three to five?) we would love to step into...make sure at least one is something most people will have heard of...then when partners are assigned, refer to the list and choose one of them for your partner to be "in". Send your partner at least three items to "help" her be in her book. For example, your partner says "I wish I was in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." First things first... if you have never read the book, or never heard of it, now's the time! :) Then think of things from the book, and choose three (or more) to send. A tea cup, a small selection of interesting teas, a broken watch, a chess piece, a deck of cards, a white rabbit, a key, a small bottle with a ribbon and tag... or you might send a handmade item involving any of these, a bookmark for example, or an altered playing card. With the exception of the original books, it is all sender's choice, even the final choice of the one book. It doesn't have to be expensive (a few tea bags, a homemade bookmark) or even useful (a single chess piece or altered playing card), just interesting and fun. You might want to include a note explaining your choices; your partner might not automatically understand the reference! I am going to allow a month after sign-up for this one, to help spread out my postage a bit, and in case we end up having to read our partner's book! Feel free to send as early as you want. :) NO flaking. This swap idea is an altered version of something originally created by @Emzycal , who has kindly given us permission to use and change her idea. |
