Description:

A simple letter swap - but it involves some work, which is why it's classed as type three.

Basically, you will read three books that you have bought from charity shops or a library sell-off - they could be books you bought ages ago and just haven't read, or you could use the excuse to go and buy more books to fuel your addiction, heehee! But the sale of the books has to have aided a library or charity somehow and the books must be from three different places.

What You Will Send To Your Partner :

A letter containing the following sections about each book:

  • what you thought of it, why you liked/didn't like it, why you think they should/shouldn't read it...

  • also explain where you bought it, what that charity does (or if it's a library tell about the library and some fun things it runs instead), and what made you pick that place to give your money too...

  • also tell what you will do with the book now you're done with it - keep it, donate it back to charity, sell it, stuff it in the loft, send/give it to someone...

  • why did you pick this book?

You must also include a bookmark for your partner. It can be handmade or store bought - if store bought it must be new, if handmade it must be made by you.

Get reading folks!

I love this idea! I think all my books have come from a charity shop, except a few :)

I like the idea, too. But I can't participate, because I don't have books from three different places and don't know of a third place to buy a book from within the next few days.

@Swan - I'll do another one soon, with just one book from one place. So you can join in then. xx

Cool, I'm looking forward to it.
