Want to know more about BOB?
The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender
and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that
begins 12:01am Monday, May 13th and runs through Sunday, May 19th in
whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the
only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books
read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but
all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 7.0
information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From

Need some ideas? I thought you might. I went to Target the other day to
get some ideas from summer must-haves. Your swap box can be filled with
whatever you want:
A good summer read, your favorite
summer nail polish (think bright, fun colors), self-tanner, sunscreen,
magazines, makeup (summery shadows, lipglosses, bronzers, etc), lotion,
summery fragrances (Bath & Body Works type stuff), anything
coconut scented, favorite tea or summer drink mixes, sunglasses, a cute
sun hat, fruity bubble bath/shower gel, stationary items- notepads,
mini calendars, to-do lists, etc, flip flops or inexpensive sandals,
beach tote, beach towel, picnic blanket, can koozies (beer/soda can
coolers), jewelry- earrings, necklace, rings, bracelets, etc, a
light-weight scarf, hair accessories (clips, headbands, wraps, etc),
beachy candles or Scentsy, summer-themed picture frames or wall art,
grilling accessories, bright kitchen accessories, plastic margarita
glasses, colorful wallet or clutch, bright colored tank top or sun
dress, gift card
Mark these dates somewhere on your calendar, and check your email often- even your spam or junk folder. Lots of blogger's emails end up in the spam folder (maybe because we send out so many? Who knows!) Emails will go out on the 15th, so keep an eye on your inbox for a message saying Sunny Summer Swap or something similar.
Follow the hosts on Twitter to stay up to date on swap stuff!
We'll be tweeting updates & love connecting with you guys through social media!
Use the hashtag #SunnySummerSwap when tweeting all things swap related :)
Once swap partner assignments are sent out, get moving! Don't let that email sit in your inbox without replying to it. Get in touch with your partner ASAP!
Say hi, introduce yourself, follow each others' blogs, Twitter,
Pinterest, Instagram, etc and get to know each other a little. What does
your partner like? Does she like to read? What's her favorite color? Is
she a nail polish fan? Does she drink tea or coffee? Does she live
somewhere warm? Ask some questions and check out each other's Pinterest
boards or Goodreads lists for swap ideas.
