Description:

Need to get out of your comfort zone in reading? Find "read x no. of books" to be too mundane to be a challenge? Looking to try a book in a new-to-you genre? Or looking for an excuse to read a book off your Mt. To Be Read? Every month, we'll explore a different genre by reading a single book and sharing our thoughts with our partner.

Januray's theme is "A book in which a main protagonist is suffering from a mental illness". Not really a "genre", hence "modified". I think this is a challenge really & will broaden our horizons. Also, I'll post some links to lists in the comments, for suggestions, & you too are welcome to do so, whether you're joining the swap or not!

Send an email or swap-bot message to your partners with the following info: (The prompts are also bit modified for this round)

*Title & author of the book you read

*Why did you choose to join this swap?

*A brief summary of the book

*A brief review--what did you think of it?

*Your experience with the THEME (have you read a lot? a little? was this your first?)

  • Your overall recommendation : who will you recommend it to, & why?

Rating requirement : 4.98

Partners: will be adjusted. You'd be sending the email to ALL participants.

I hope nobody will flake, as it is impractical to angel electronic swaps of this nature, because everybody (non-flaking) will already have sent to everybody!

Shoot! I wish I'd seen this one in time! I have read a couple recently that fit this category! I'd recommend Jenny Lawson's book, Furiously Happy, if you're still looking for one!

I have email addresses for my 3 assigned partners, but how do I get emails for the other 2? I'd rather not get these via SB messaging.
