Description:

Welcome to the third round of the "Tell Me About..." Penpal Swap! This is an INTERNATIONAL penpal swap where we focus on a certain topic and write to our swap partners about it. This month the theme is:

Tell me about your favorite reading spot and what you like to read/what you're reading right now.

The letter should be at least two pages long and you can but don't have to include a small treat along with it... a bookmark, stickers, a bag of tea, etc.

If you are new to swap-bot and have no ratings you are welcome to join us. :*) Otherwise, people with a rating of 3.5 and up and no more than 2 no-sends can join. Also, please fill out your profile or I will remove you from the swap.

Any questions then please contact me or ask in the comment section.

Have fun swapping!!!

Weeee! Been waiting to see what the next theme would be. Love this swap! Thank you!

Thanks! I'm glad you're having fun with it! :*)

lilylemon 02/ 5/2007 #

ooooh! Good topic!

AngrySpinner 02/ 8/2007 #

Goobearsmom, I love your serial penpal swaps (this is my second!), and I wanted to thank you, as it gave me a great idea for a Writer's Block swap. Thank you again. --Jen aka Angry Spinner

lilmouse 02/ 9/2007 #

I saw your swap, looks like a lot of fun! :*) I'm glad you like this swap too, thanks!

knitagirl 02/16/2007 #

This looks a lot of fun :o)

user6332 02/20/2007 #

Since I always have more than one book going at a time, it\'ll be interesting to see what I\'m actually reading the day I write my letter! Can\'t wait...

lilmouse 02/21/2007 #

LOL, I know... I just finished one book and am ready to start another but I don\'t know what to read yet.

DaCraftyLady 02/22/2007 #

I love these swaps. Very fun to do and receive. I was in your last one and I hope you keep doing them. Check out http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PBDpenpalplace/

foodfreak 02/23/2007 #

what a neat idea. Does this have to be handwritten or is typed and printed ok?

Zmrzlina 02/23/2007 #

I've done mine typed and both were well received.

Katie 02/23/2007 #

I'm brand new to these swaps, and I'm so excited to jump right in and get started - this one is such a fun idea!!!

lilmouse 02/24/2007 #

Typed or handwritten - doesn't matter. :*)

Thanks everyone for joining!

jennyb 02/24/2007 #

i love letters and i've just found an author i love so this seems like my perfect first swap!! be warned tho i write a mean letter!! good job i have fairly neat handwriting!

lilylemon 02/24/2007 #

I'm in although I never received acknowledgement from either of my partners in the last two "tell me about" swaps -- no, rating, no thank you, no answer to email inquiries as to whether they received them. Oh, well!

Kathleen 02/24/2007 #

I've just joined the site and I'm excited to start trading mail, so thanks for being friendly to new members! I'm juggling a few different books right now, and I'm looking foward to writing about them.

user5003 02/25/2007 #

This sounds great. I just joined!

lilmouse 02/28/2007 #

I should be getting the option to assign partners by now but it's not there yet for some reason... Hopefully we'll have our partners soon. Sorry about the delay. :*(

lilylemon 02/28/2007 #

That happened with the last swap I was in. There's something fishy going on.

PostMuse 02/28/2007 #

I read on the blog that they had switched servers. I wonder if that has something to do with the late closing? Or maybe the closing happens when everyone in the world is finished with the day?

knitagirl 03/ 1/2007 #

Should we have had our info by now? I've still not had anything...

lilmouse 03/ 1/2007 #

Okay swappers... you can get your partners now. :*) Have fun!!!

lilylemon 03/ 1/2007 #

Brandon, your letter is on the way. Let me know when it gets there. :)

butterflykisses 03/ 1/2007 #

Becca Obert - your letter will be in the mail this afternoon! I hope you enjoy it!

Saor 03/ 1/2007 #

Butterfly Kisses, yours is posted. Hope it gets to you soon. It's coming from Ireland.

butterflykisses 03/ 1/2007 #

Saor - I'm really looking forward to getting your letter, especially from Ireland since it's a part of my heritage! I'll be sure to write back!

EmilyBemily 03/ 2/2007 #

Today, my letter left France and is on it's way to the USA.

analog 03/ 2/2007 #

Mine is on its way to Ireland... hope it gets there soon!

junemoon 03/ 2/2007 #

Sent my letter to California, eager to see what the letter I receive will say. It's neat to be asked what we are doing at the time, i.e., reading now. But I just had to mention what I just finished as well because I enjoyed it so much.

user6487 03/ 2/2007 #

This was way too fun! I sent mine to London! I wrote 4 small ish pages. :)

StuffbySteph 03/ 3/2007 #

Mine went out to Mamaknits this morning. Hope you enjoy!

user6142 03/ 5/2007 #

I just stuck my letter in the mail today! Mine is going to New York! Technically it'll be mailed tomorrow but at least it's been sent out lol.

zanylady 03/ 5/2007 #
