Yay Jazzy! I am so happy for you and hope this works out (:

Since I haven't heard anything from my partner in a week, I sent another message on goodreads to ask for his email address. Is there a time limit in which period they should respond? Since I'm quite busy with schoolwork and it's going to get even more busy, I'm afraid of a situation where I don't have time to check Goodreads so often, thus possibly missing their answer altogether...

Oh, I hope you hear from him soon!

Hi Mion!! I’ll reach out to your partner! please feel free to fill out the form again so I can match you again next wave

I got his email address and sent out an email to him today!

Yay! I am so glad!

I got my postcard from Smalin and will write another one and post either tomorrow or the next day!

Yay Jazzy! Glad your post cards are going to good use (:

Thank you Zoe, that's very kind x

I went to the Laing art museum and bought 70 postcards of the different paintings in the galleries for £7. Now I have tonnes of postcards! If only the stamps were so inexpensive! :)

I sent out my second email to my partner out today!

Kay and I have exchanged several messages, and we are doing a buddy read together right now :)

Reminder that this challenge ends in June! That gives you a little more than a month to message your pen pal partner and get going if you haven't already! Once you've communicated at least twice, post here and let us know how it's going!

If you're having issues (for example, if your partner isn't responding) please message me so I can help you (:

You can also refill out the form HERE to be matched with another pen pal!
