THE BIG GREEN BOOK SWAP 

FESTIVE EDITION!

It’s great getting presents.

It’s great giving presents.

And with the Big Green Book Swap, you get to do both without any of the work!

And you can share your love of reading too.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS.

·         You make your purchase HERE.

It costs just £15 

·         I’ll then send you an email asking for your favourite types of books, etc. & your Twitter/Bluesky handle.

·         Once you reply, I’ll match you up with someone with similar book tastes.

·         I’ll choose a book that I think you both will enjoy.

·         I’ll send the book out to you both with a delicious bar of chocolate and some Pukka Tea!

(The tag on the parcel will have the other person's Twitter/Bluesky handle)

·         You can then enjoy the book, choc and tea & you can chat to each other online about the book as you read it.

There’ll be an option to remain anonymous, if you’d prefer to avoid the chat part!

YOU CAN BUY IT HERE

I’ll send all the books out on w/c 8^th December, so you’ll all get your books before Christmas.

Hopefully, you'll get to read a great new book, find a new buddy online and have a thoroughly lovely time!

Here is a handy guide to how you can spend money with us.

----------------------------------------------------------

Yes, the classic way that a bookshop makes its money.

IMPORTANT!!

THIS WEBSITE ONLY LISTS ABOUT 114 TITLES. I CAN SOURCE OVER HALF A MILLION!

SO, IF IT'S NOT ON THE WEBSITE, DON'T PANIC.

 (JUST FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS AND HOPEFULLY ALL YOUR BOOK RELATED DREAMS WILL COME TRUE)

The best way to find out if I can get a particular book is to email me on biggreenbooks@gmail.com

Or else you can tweet me (or DM me) @biggreenbooks. 

Let me know what you’re looking for and I’ll reply as soon as possible. I can get books posted all over the world and our suppliers usually get books out within 24 hours, so that’s pretty good, I’d say.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Ooh, that sounds good. What is it?

Well, let me tell you. 

It’s a service where I send you a book a month (wrapped up in shiny paper), based on the kind of books you enjoy reading. You can get a 3, 6 or 12 month subscription and they make a great present for your book loving friends. 

There is more information HERE.  

--------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Pretty much every Wednesday, I do a thing called #BuyAStrangerABook on Twitter.

Essentially people buy strangers books!

It’s a lovely thing to be able to do and I love it.

You can read more about it HERE.

If you’re not planning on spending the day on Twitter, but still want to Buy a Stranger a Book, you can do it HERE.

I’ll eventually send you a poor-quality badge for doing this too.

The money you donate, I use to buy people or schools books who may not necessarily have the means to do so themselves.

JOIN HERE!

I started this, after it was suggested by a few people.  

I’ve run a few projects like;

A Crowdfunding campaign to get Lost Words into schools.

Books and money raised to help refugees in The Calais Jungle.

Raising over £4,500 to buy books and toys for the homelessness charity Shelter at Christmas.

The weekly #BuyAStrangerABook initiative on Twitter (see above!)

Crowdfunding to supply over 8,000 kids in the UK with Greta Thunberg’s book of speeches.  

Obvs, these things take time and money. The Patreon is a brilliant buffer which helps me do these things.

The money the Patreon raises goes towards projects like these.

I have plans for more stuff next year, so keep ‘em peeled.
