Description:

This is the first reading log swap of 2013! It's pretty simple. Read. Write about what you read. Send your log off to two international partners.

You'll be sending your partners one reading log that contains your thoughts on all the books you read during the months of January, February and March of 2013. The log can be in any paper format.

You need to jot down the title, the author and give a minimum of a one paragraph description about each book and your thoughts.

Feel free to include things like favorite quotes, the author's Web site, etc.

This swap is about what you enjoy reading, not what your partners may or may not like. It doesn't matter what you read: fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels, Manga, zines, audio books, e-books, children's, etc.

I recommend keeping a computer file for your log so it will be easy for your partners to read and so you won't lose it, but your log can be created in ANY format you like. It needs to be paper and mailed via post. The format is up to you: journal, letter, zine, tag book, etc.

The details:

a) international (sent via the post, NOT e-mailed)

b) two partners

c) minimum requirements: one book each month; one paragraph per book. Author, title, description/thoughts etc.

Voracious readers read more than a single book a month. So there's no maximum. Your reading log should be sent NO earlier than the 15th of March.

The fine print:

Newbies welcome. Rated players need a 4.8 or higher. If you are under the requirement PM me and I will take it as a case by case. All participants must have a completed profile. I ban after the swap closes. As both a swap participant and coordinator, I like people to have positive swap experiences, so please no forum drama.

Hopefully we won't need to, but I will arrange for angels if they are needed.

CayleighTheShell 12/24/2012 #

I just bought 2 pretty books today to keep my logs in. Can't wait to get started and find out who my partners are.

What a great swap! Never thought to log the books I read. Now this swap is like hitting two birds with one stone: I'd get to share my thoughts on what I've read with partners I know are bookworms like me and get a sort of database of all the books I read from now on. Thanks @CayleighTheShell :)

Lovely idea! I love to read and am currently in a bet with my best friend to see who can read more books this year, so this will help a lot. So excited! :D

I'm glad you guys found the swap! = )

Oh, I'm going to watch for now. I have been keeping a log now for about 10 years, along with notes(more like the book reports that I used to do when I was in school) about the really good books that I enjoy. Last year, after I was ill, I kinda stopped keeping track. I was logging all my books on Bookcrossing also, but can't get to that site any longer from work. I will have to see how much time I have before I join. I don't like flakers, so I don't want to be one.

I'm super excited about this swap! I just made 3 entries for the books I've read in January so far! Can't wait to see what others are reading. :)

Artistic 01/27/2013 #

So glad to see that this swap is again a top swap!

Worknesh 01/27/2013 #

I am looking forward for this swap. Anwyay, I would be glad if the logs were handwritten.

CayleighTheShell 01/28/2013 #

Artistic! I never noticed it was in the top swaps. Whoo-hoo.

I'll be going through everyone tomorrow so please give it a day or so before partners are assigned.

Worknesh, the majority of book logs that I have seen are typed, just because after a certain amount of books it is hard to keep it all written. Just so you know before you join.

Is it ok to log more than one book a month

saxophonista5 01/28/2013 #

I'm excited! What a great idea for a swap, and great motivation to keep reading!

CayleighTheShell 02/16/2013 #

Loves2swap definitely we should be logging more than one book a month log every book you read!

Artistic 04/ 2/2013 #

First quarter logs are off to my partners. Enjoy!

bookwyrmm 04/13/2013 #

Totally forgot to mark sent! Went out on the 8th.

CayleighTheShell 04/22/2013 #

I'm checking today to see if any angels are needed. If so, reading logs will be going out within the week from me to make up for them.
