The travelling book is basically like an ARC tour except they aren't ARC books, they're books I've paid for myself to send around the world to everyone who signed-up to read it.
Once each person has read it they write a small comment in the book of what they thought and post it to the next person on the list.
When the book has finished its journey I then send it on to the author as a gift if they are willing to accept it.
So it's the end of sign-up for our latest travelling book which is Juliet Immortal by Stacey Jay.
Including myself 40 people have signed-up to read the book! And I've already spoken to the author who has said she'd be thrilled to receive the book when we are finished!
Before I add the list of people in the order the book will be travelling I wanted to refresh you on the rules, the bits in red are new.
1. You must be willing to pay thepostage and packaging fees to pass on the book including international. You can use whichever service you choose but something with tracking is strongly recommended to avoid the book getting lost.
2. You have a maximum of two weeksto read and send on the book.
3. You have to let me know whenyou've recieved the book AND when you send it on so I can keep track and keep everything up to date.
4. When you've finished reading,write on the inside cover or a blank page your name, where your from and asmall comment of what you thought. (If there's no blank space then just writeon a piece of paper and slip it between the pages, don't write over the wordsin the book.)
5. If you choose to review the book,come back here and post a link to your review or email me the link and I'll include it in the final post with all yourcomments from the book when it's over. This is optional though.
6. Also if you want to you can add apostcard from your country or a bookmark or maybe even a book you don't want,as a gift for the next person, then you can but it's not mandatory.
7. And you must of course be a blogor page follower to participate.
8. Once sign up is closed I willpost the list of people and the order the book will go in here so you can checkthe status anytime, however I'll contact you when it's your turn so don'tprovide any postal details until I ask.
9. When siging-up please provide an email address you check regularly so you don't miss my email and miss your turn, also add bookaholics@live.co.uk to your 'safe' list.
10. If you get to impatient and decide to read the book ahead of your turn please still receive the book and write in your comment as the book is going to the author.
11. If you do sign-up and have a blog it would be super awesome if you blogged about it or grabbed the button to help spread the word but you certainly don't have to.
Right that's business out of the way!
