So! What is the swap? Have you heard of National Book Lovers Day before? If so, have you observed or celebrated it? If you did, how did you observe the day?

Will you observe the day this year? What will you do to celebrate the day?

This swap will be USA only, but I'll make an International version too, so look for it. You will have 1 partner for the swap, and you will send your partner a letter, note card or postcard - sender's choice - and tell them what you did on Sunday August 9th to observe National Book Lovers Day! That's it. :) If you visited a bookstore, tell your partner. IF you spent some time reading, tell your partner what you read. If you gave out a book, tell your partner what you chose and who you gave it to (general - you don't have to use names.) Did you do something different? Tell your partner. :)

Sign up for this swap will end on Sunday August 9th, and I will assign partners before noon (Pacific time) on Monday August 10th. Send the note out to your partner as soon as you can. :)

This is a FLAT MAIL swap - so just a note card, post card is fine! It will be easy for the postal machines to process, too! If you'd like to add something else, that's fine too. Just be sure you check your postage.

If you have ANY QUESTION, please PM me and ask as soon as possible! I'll reply as soon as I can. :)
