Swaps:
Many of you know that I am in many swaps through the reading circles I am in. I have met and acquired many friends through these circles. Friends that are teachers, librarians, bloggers, authors, parents and students. All with a love of books and reading.
I am in a six month swap called OTSP Secret Sister which is a swap by the wonderful ladies over at On The Same Page. This is my 5th session in this group and I have made friends all over the country with this group. It runs much like a secret santa type swap. We send a package to our secret sister once a month. Sometimes we find out who are pal is but I enjoy trying to figure out who it is over time with clues from our pal. We write letters and communicate each month as well. These relationships are quite a blessing.
My August swap package from my
Secret Sister
Cozy up and Read swap
is a swap is a swap I absolutely love, by a friend over at A Reader in Love. In this swap we pick a book we want to share and 2 books from our swap buddy's list. A Reader in Love has these books swap throughout the year. I try to get involved with each and every one. I have met some amazing people and created some lasting friendships through this swap. I will share my Cozy up and read package when it arrives.
