Have all of you provided all info? Name, mailing address, email, and book you have selected?

We have created and sent out instructions to TEN groups of 12 in the U.S. Are any of you in those groups? Which one?

International - we are going to start with groups of 6 members. We have 2 groups ready to go who will all receive email notifications by Monday.

Any questions or comments, post here or email me: sward7@gmail.com.

I'm excited to introduce the International Group of our pen pal-style book club. Here is the welcome message from the founder, Julie Blasofsel, for the U.S. group. Right now, we plan to adapt the International group with slight changes. See details below.

U.S. Group: Welcome to your new mission if you choose to accept it. This special mission involves you joining a 12- month reading challenge that will require you to select a book (physical book - not electronic or audio) and as you read it, journal in a separate notebook your thoughts and questions. Then, at the end of the month you’ll need to send both the book and notebook to the next member of your group. Since the other 11 members are doing the same, you’ll receive a book and a notebook every month that you’ll read and add your journaling to and then mail on to the next member too. After 12 months, you’ll receive your original book and notebook back.

International Group: Welcome to your new mission if you choose to accept it. This special international mission involves you joining a 6-month reading challenge that will require you to select a book and as you read it, journal your thoughts on stationary-paper. Each member your assigned group will ONLY mail the letter(s) to the next person on the list. Mailing an envelope across international borders will cost about the same as mailing a book and a journal in the States. With this in mind, everyone in the International Group will have to find a way to read the book selection each month: borrow, buy, ebook, audible, used book store, etc. Then every month, you forward your letter, plus all prior letters about that same book - to the next person in your specific group.

If this sounds like something you are interested in, reply with your name, your mailing address, your email address, and the book that you would like to use for this reading group.
