Blind Book Swap : Folk, Myth, & Legends

Blind Book Swap : folk, myth, and legends edition

This theme is a bit more open then the previous edition. Any story having to do with folk themes, mythology, local legends - there are many different ways to express this theme! It can through any genre combination, examples: folk horror, mythology-based fantasy, maybe a historical drama that dives into local beliefs and stories.

This time we will wrap up the books to make it even more of a surprise at the swap!

The idea with the blind swap is that you will be partnered with someone at random. You two will introduce yourselves and what book you brought. Explain a bit about why you brought this book - why do you like it? Is it something you'd like to share and talk with someone about? Get to know both each other and the books :)
Afterwards, swap your books to complete reading them and it will be optional per group how often you want to stay in touch between or if you both want to chat together after finishing the books to discuss.
The general structure of the meetup day will be:
- Meetup, get a coffee, introduction, chatting
- Pairs will be assigned
- Get to know your partner and their book
- Silent reading time to get started with the shared books
- Discussion / first impressions

The goal: meet new people and bond over books 📖
Book requirements:
- Wrap your book 🎁 You can write some keywords on the wrapping or leave it a complete surprise
- Within the theme, in any way
- fiction books
- English

• tip: if you choose a very classic or popular book, maybe bring a 2nd backup option in the event your partner already has read it (you can choose to re-read a book as well, if it has been a while)

- If your book has intense themes, please have some trigger warnings prepared, in case your partner asks for it
