Litany's Genre Swap v 2.0

[sparkchaser]

OK gang, it is time to start Genre Swap version 2.0.

The Guidelines:

1. If you wish to participate, vote yes in the poll.

2. Then send me a Private Message and include the following information:

• Your username
• What you normally read
• What you would like to read
• What you do not want to read
• Any other piece of information you think might be relevant

3. Poll is open until the end of April. I know that is a long time but I want to catch any of the non-regulars that might be interested in participating.

4. First week of May, I will make the matches and PM everyone with who their match is.

5. You have until July 31 to read your selection. That's three months.

6. After you finish your book, be sure to post about it here.

7. Next Swap will tentatively begin Aug 1.

8. Have fun!


Any questions?

Don't really know what it's all about but here goes

Please reply to let me know what I'm getting into here - this genre swap - is it an information swap so that a person can try reading something they wouldn't necessarily pick up. Sounds interesting. momac

Sparks, thanks for running this show again. I've had very good luck with the suggestions I've received in the past swaps. They were great reads. Count me in again this time, please.

I'm going to give the people in my BAR social group a nudge about swapping here, too.

 

[sparkchaser]

Don't forget to have them (and you) send me a PM.

 

[Reads to Sleep]

Sparks, okey dokey. I'll scurry back to ICE and add the PM request. I've already posted a notice about the swap.

Don't forget to have them (and you) send me a PM.

 

[sparkchaser]

Thanks. You're awesome.

Poll closes on April 30, so if you want to play then you have to vote.

I hope to have the matches made by the end of this week.

I will post the matches in this thread but only include the specifics in the PM the participants will receive.

[sparkchaser]

I sent out a few erroneous PMs about matches. Sorry about that.

Please use the match given in the PM with the subject line: Your REAL Genreswap Match Is...

Sorry for the confusion.

Edit: Apparently I cannot send this information out correctly. So....disregard the Private Messages and use the post above to contact each other. Get their likes and dislikes and then send them 1-3 suggestions.

If after a week, you do not get a reply, send me a PM and we will get it sorted out.

 

[Alix]

OK eldog, your suggestions are in your inbox. Looking forward to mine!

 

[dude]

PM sent. :whistling:

 

[eldog]

OK eldog, your suggestions are in your inbox. Looking forward to mine!

Looks like we're both set...

I chose The Corpse Had A Familiar Face by Edna Buchanan from the Alix's list of recommendations.

Alix chose The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls from my list of recommendations.
