Description:

This is the third 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 of July, August and September 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 September.

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.

This is one of my favorite swaps!

goodreads has been a really fabulous way for me to keep track of my reading. At the end of the quarter, I export my records as comma-separated and then import them into a filemaker layout that makes a report for me to send to my partner. (You could probably do similar with a spreadsheet or word processor, I just happened to set it up with a database.)

I was in the first one but couldn't do the second one. I have been watching and hoping to get into this one. Really enjoyed finding new authors and seeing what someone else thought about a book I had read.

wow! great swap idea! I already keep a log of what I've read, so I'll just add the description part. count me in.

I've never tracked what I've read before. This should be fun!

This is a great idea for a movie log.

Someone did a movie log for the first three months. I don't know if she's kept it up.

Partners have been assigned. Happy reading!

Apologies for mine still not having gone out, I broke the computer which I had it on, I have sent messages to my swap partners today and it will be going postal tomorrow at which point I will change my status to sent. Apologies to all for this delay!

I wanted to sign up for No.4 but cannot find it. Am I too late?
