The Post Card Exchange discussion

Dear Beautiful Readers,

So have you read any good books lately? laughs! When I was paging thru my reading journals for last month's writing topic, I realized I had read some great books this year, and discovered new authors and I'm even dipping my toes into a new genre.

Look at your recent GR reviews and/or your reading journal and find some book titles you want to share with the world! That will be our writing topic on our postcards for August.

A. Sign up by posting below.

B. Click on the person posting above you and send them a personal message with your mailing address.

C. When someone signs up below you, send a postcard to them.

D. Tell us when you've sent your postcard by EDITING your original post. You can also let us know when you've rcvd a postcard by editing your original post.

As Usual:

You will send one postcard and you will receive one postcard. The postcard can be store-bought or hand-made and can have any kind of picture on the front. We are an International group. Newbies are so very welcome!


The Details

• Your Signup Post: Make it obvious that you are signing up. The list of signup posts will be similar to the group of 5 addresses that we used to get, in that you are sending a postcard to the person listed below. Please skip any posts that are not signups. Also consult the official "Send To" list (message #2 in this thread). It will be updated regularly.

• When you message the person posting above to provide your postal mailing address, please type the address exactly as it should appear on the postcard: Your name should be the first line and your country should be the last line.

(Please do NOT leave your mailing address on our signup thread.)

If you are unable to message the person posting above you, for whatever reason, please message one of the mods, and we'll get stuff sorted out.

• When you EDIT your original post, please type in the date of your additions as well. Your post might look like this:

Sign me up! I’m on the west coast of the US in Oregon.
3 aug... message sent to "abc-person-above".
8 aug… Postcard sent to "xyz-person-below".
25 aug… Postcard from "abc-person-above" rcvd

Please feel free to message me or either of the other moderators with any questions.


Happy Day,
rift
