To bring in 2013, the year of opportunities (I just made that up), I'm co-hosting a blogger book exchange. For me, books are such a personal part of who I am. Reading as child took me to whole new places and inspired my imagination. It contributed to who I am as a crafter, designer, blogger and who I am as a person. So I am really excited about this opportunity and I'm also looking forward to meeting new bloggers.
What is a book swap?
It's an opportunity to get to know other bloggers and avid readers that are part of the blogging community. By swapping books, you're connecting with another blogger out there in the blogosphere and we're all making the interwebs a "smaller world."
When is it going on?
The month of January- sign up now until January 12th. Get to know your partner by the 19th and then ship their awesome new read by the 26th. Sound good?
How do I participate?
Follow the directions below and sign-up using the Google docs form. You'll receive an e-mail with
your blogging book buddy information (sorry, I love alliterations) and then you're set to go!
What should I include?
This part is totally up to you. A new or used book is perfectly acceptable. I personally love both and finding an awesome used bookstore or a Goodwill with a stellar book selection is always a favorite of mine. Also include a personal note saying why you selected this book for them. I've seen folks at other book swaps include: bookmarks, notebooks, book plates, etc. I plan on wrapping mine up and I just can't wait to see who I end up with. I love surprises :)
If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me or any of the awesome co-hosts!
