Book Swap, Summer edition 🌞

Hey y’all let’s swap some books and maybe discuss book things and meet some new bookish friends 🙂
Please bring one or a few physical books that you are ready to send to a new home!
Swap theme: Summer 🌞🌞🌞 This is just for fun, but if you like, bring books related to the theme of summer - this could be beachy reads, something that takes place during summer, a summery-coloured cover, etc.

SETTING
We will meet at Confederation Park at 3pm.
In case of inclement weather we will stake out a space at the NAC.

CHARACTERS
The organizers will be there a bit early - look for the people with books trying to make a circle in the grass. Check the comments or message if you get lost.
Bring a chair or blanket to sit on if you don’t want to sit on the grass, and a bag that can hold your new books!

PLOT
We’ll (try to) make a circle and go around with everyone giving a quick summary of their book to give away. Usually title, genre, reading a few lines from the back summary, if you liked it, whatever you want as long as it is brief and does not give away that twist ending! Please keep to 1-2 minutes per book if you can.
Once all books have been described, each person will hold up their book(s), one at a time, for a show of interest.
If only one person raises their hand, the book goes to them.
If more than one person raises their hand, the book is set aside for the next round.
For the second round, some people will now have some books already and so we give priority for contested books to people with no/less books. Also there have been lots of instances in the past where someone takes the book first but promises to bring back to a future book swap or otherwise pass along the book to the next person in a sort of book club chain. For this reason, priority will be given to returning book swappers who have participated in at least one previous swap.

COVID precautions:
This event will be outdoors (weather permitting) and we'll try to set up in a space away from others with enough room to spread out. Masks are not required but are welcome, and the organizers will bring some to wear in case we need to move inside due to weather.
Note this event is cross-posted!
