2008 Reading Log #2

Greetings to all of the readers! This is the second reading log swap for 2008.

This swap is for people who love to read and would like to both keep track of what they've read and share their lists with two other readers and/or bibliophiles.

You'll be sending your partners a reading log that contains your thoughts on all the books you read in April, May and June. The log can be in any paper format.

It doesn't matter what you read: fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels, Manga, zines, audio books, e-books, children's, etc. You just need to jot down the title, the author and give a minimum of a one paragraph description about the book and your thoughts. You can feel free to include things like favorite quotes, the author's Web site, etc. Whatever you want to say about the book.

This is a quarterly swap, so there will be four reading log swaps posted in 2008. At the end of the year, you'll have a file that has all of your reading recorded and the full year could be created into a zine or be part of a holiday letter to friends. :) A quarterly system will allow people to join in during the year while making it less likely that people will forget about or flake on a year-long commitment.

This second swap will be for books read in April, May and June 2008.

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. It can be as simple as a piece of notebook paper, a mini-journal, a lettter, a zine, a quarter-fold newsletter, etc. The format is up to you.

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, like your host, read more than a single book a month. :) And since you're considering this swap, you probably read more than one as well! So there's no maximum. If you read it in April, list it under that month in your log, and so on.

The fine print:

Newbies welcome. Rated players need a 4.6 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.

There's no need to wait for partners to be assigned. Get reading!
