As we finish up the sixth month of the Correspondence Club, we are still going strong! I thought it was time to take a step back and evaluate the Correspondence Club, so I asked the members to take a short survey and send me some suggestions on how we can improve. I’m super excited to introduce some changes for August that I hope will help things run a bit smoother and still keep it interesting! If you’re already a member, look out for a more detailed email from me in the next couple of days. If you’re not already a member but want to join, you still have time!
I loved reading Anastasia’s post about her first month of participating in the CClub! Suki did a fantastic post about what she sent to her partner this month as well! If you decide to blog about the Correspondence Club too, please do send me the link because I want to share your posts! :)
Do you want to join the Correspondence Club for August? We’d love to have you! If you would like to participate in August, please send me your information by midnight tonight (July 31st at 11:59pm EST).
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

Once again it was a huge success! I love the pretty collage of participants you put together. I’m looking forward to next month! :)
Thanks so much Suki- so happy to have you as a member of the club! :)
Thanks again for hosting this! Can’t wait to see what August holds and I love the collage!
Thank you Kat! Just sent out August instructions last night, so hope you got them! :)
This is so great! I am definitely signing up for September! I wish I could for August, but I’m going to be so busy moving that I don’t think I’ll have time :/

So glad you like the idea and would love to have you join in September! :) Best of luck with your move this month!
You have such a good eye for graphic design! I wish I did, but not even years of training helped me. I’m always going to struggle with it.
I should totally blog about the Correspondence Club. I don’t know why I never thought of doing that!
Lol, these collages take me forever to put together and I made the pictures a bit too small, but glad you still think it looks nice! I’m trying to make each one just as good or better than the last one! :)
Your collage is adorable! You did such a great job with it. And I wish I would have come across this post sooner. I would have loved to take part in the August cycle. I will be back to sign up in September =)
