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.

Of course Dana! :) yay
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea! I will adopt Lady Chatterley's Lover or A room of One's Own. I am leaving for Costa Rica for 6 weeks right after Thanksgiving, but if you get it out to me soon, I will make sure to get it back before we go. Otherwise I will send it to you as soon as we return in January. I'm loving your creative mail explorations! See you in the mail! I think you have my address but in case you don't it is on www.artofaletter.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteMay I link your project on my blog? That way there may be others who visit my blog who don't know about yours yet that would like to participate. Just let me know! Shalom, Elle
