Christmas in July Book Exchange discussion

Having an issue with something? Post it here. I am also going to post some guidance here. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! :-)

* You MUST sign up on Elfster in order to participate. This is where the matches will be done and where you can set up a wish list (or a link for your GR wish list which is so much easier!) Sign ups are open until 7/7/19. You will then have until 7/31/19 to send all of your gifts!

* Elfster link : https://www.elfster.com/exchange/view...

* The gift amount should be around $15. You can do as much as you want, but you should really try not to go below $15.

* Ebooks are the easiest to gift, and that is what we tend to do here! Message 2 lists those places that you can buy books and gift them, or buy gift certificates. If you have any other suggestions, let us know!

* Keep in mind that it is difficult for people in one country to gift to others in a different country, especially with Amazon. Please list where you prefer to get your books from.

A couple of years back, M'rella was amazing enough to compile a list of vendors who offer direct gifting services. As we move forward this year, if there are any changes, corrections, or additions to this list, let me know. :-)

Direct or GC:
Amazon
Pride Publishing (also has "buy 9, get 1 book free" program)
First For Romance (also has "buy 9, get 1 book free" program)
Totally Bound (also has "buy 9, get 1 book free" program)
Riptide Publishing
Google Books


Gift Certificates only:
Dreamspinner Press
Less Than Three Press
NineStar Press
Evernight Publishing

Hi, Kendra!

If I send a link to this group to someone, can they request to join in or do they have to be invited?

Hmmm. Good question. I think they can request?? I'll look now

It says it's a private group where a mod has to approve them, but it isn't secret, so I think it should be OK.
The elfster settings are also set up so that you guys should be able to invite others.

I am thinking of sending this group's link in a group message later today or tomorrow. So there will be people requesting membership ... I hope :)

Excellent!!! Thanks! :-)
