Description:

This is the second reading log swap of 2009. 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 ofn April, May and June 2009. 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 about the book. Author, title.

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 June.

The fine print:

Newbies welcome. Rated players need a 4.8 or higher. 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.

I'd like it to be sent via email - that way, I don't lose the list of great books.

Thanks for continuing to coordinate this swap! I've received a lot of great ideas from the logs i have received - and some interesting formats as well. I might try a tag book myself this next time - or ATC's in pockets for each book after i have finished it. It is a good way to help remember and keep track of what I've read!

I have sent my reading logs however I got over excited thinking we were sending to 5 partners and so have photocopied 3 extra's of my log. Would anyone like a copy of my log for free?
