Description:

This or That is a new reading challenge type swap. Each month I will post a theme of two different types. It will be up to you to choose ONE of those types to use for your book to read for that month. There will be a variety of themes, in the coming months. Be on the look out for each THIS or THAT swap!

Each month I will post 2 items for you to choose from. You will choose ONE book to read from THIS or THAT ~ that I post. I will post the THIS or THAT swaps in the beginning of the month and signups will stay up through the 15th of that month. The send date will be the 14th of the following month. That will give you a little over a month to read and send. If the swap is not sent out on or before the 14th (take note of any holidays or weekends and send prior to that), I won't allow you in the next months swap.

Choose THIS or THAT ~ PAST or PRESENT

Read THIS ~ PAST ~ read a book published in 2004 or Read THAT ~ PRESENT ~ read a book published in 2014

For this one, read a book that was published in the PAST, original publish date must have been in 2004, OR, read a book that was published in the PRESENT, original publish date must have been in 2014.

As with all my monthly reads, you no longer have to answer certain questions. Just make sure to write TWO full pages by hand or 1 page if typed. Here are some questions to help, if you are unsure what to write.

  • What was the book about?
  • Did you like or dislike it?
  • Who was your favorite character?
  • What was your favorite part? What was your least favorite?
  • Have you read any other books by this author?
  • Would you read any others because of this book?
  • Were there any situations or characters in the book that you identified with? How?
  • Did you like the book from the beginning or did it take you a while to get into it?
  • Would you change anything about the book?
  • Would you ask the author a question if you could? What would you ask?
  • Would you recommend this book to other readers?
  • What surprised you the most about the book?
  • What is the significance of the title? Would you have given the book a different title? If yes, what is your title?

RECAP ~

  • Pick THIS or THAT to read
  • read ONE book from this or that choices
  • Send a 2 page letter (by hand) or 1 page typed to your partner
  • tell them all about the book without spoilers

Have fun!!

Bonus ~ Read one book from each ~ THIS or THAT
