Find my book pen pal

We all know that a big part of the joy in reading is sharing a good book with a friend and so we want to help bring bookish pals together all over Aotearoa. Sound like a bit of you? Register yourself online, answer the questionnaire, receive your pen pal match, grab a book recommendation you wish to pass on, include a little letter about why you chose the book and receive a book back!

How does it work?

• Register by adding this product to your cart 
• You then need to fill out this questionnaire
• Everyone who has registered will then be matched with someone with similarities in both life and books
• You will then receive your pen pal match via email with the address to post your book and letter (note: we will not be sending prepaid courier tickets this round)
• Choose a book that you already own, have enjoyed and are ready to give to a new home.
• Write your penpal a letter telling them about yourself and why you chose the book. This is a reciprocal match so the person you are sending a book to, is the person sending one to you.
• Take your parcel to any post store - you will need to cover shipping costs
• All books must be sent by April 17th

Making matches takes time and so there is a small admin fee of $10 to be matched with your pen pal.

Key dates:

4th of April: Receive your pen pal match

17th of April: All books must be sent to pen pals

While we are organising this as a fun exercise to celebrate the long life of a good book, and the joy in sharing that with others, our genuine hope is to unite some bookish pals who might not have meet otherwise. But most of all we hope this brings each and every one of you who participates a moment of joy.
