Adopt Penguin Books Postcards

I am setting up my own postcard adoption project, inspired by PostMuse's Orphaned Postcard Project.  I recently bought a box of 100 Penguin Books Postcards...

So now I am offering them up for adoption.  I will slowly be putting the list up of the titles of the books included.  You can request a postcard of a book that you've read, I'll send it to you in an envelope and probably with a little note hello, and then on the back you'll write something about the book, what you thought of it, a memory linked to it, anything! and then send it back to me.  And I will document it on my blog! I'm excited to start.

So, you can email me at jouaient@gmail.com to request one 

or send me a letter requesting one.
