How It Works:

  2. Match emails will be sent on Sunday, November 17th.

  3. You’ll have until Friday, December 13th to send a book to your book buddy and submit shipping confirmation through Elfster.

  4. If someone has gone silent and books have not been sent, we’ll do rematching by Sunday, December 15th.

  5. Rematch gifts and confirmation will need to be sent by Tuesday, December 31st.

 

Rule to Participate:

  • You must be 18 years or older.

  • You must agree to share your contact information with Musing Over Mugs and your match.

  • You must NOT share your match’s information.

FAQs

  1. What if I didn’t receive a book?
    If your book buddy doesn’t submit confirmation of shipment by December 15th, you will be eligible for a rematch! Rematches will not be guaranteed, but we will do our best to make sure everyone who signs up, gets a book!

  2. How do I sign up to be a rematch?
    You can send us an email to musingovermugs@gmail.com or DM us at @musingovermugs on Instagram! Hopefully, no rematches will be necessary, but we always like to air on the side of being over-prepared.

  3. What if I don’t like the book I’ve been gifted?
    That is a risk you must be willing to take when signing up! However, you will get to create a wishlist on your Elsfter account when you sign up. You can include specific books or tropes you are interested in!

  4. Do I have to spend a certain amount of money?
    No! Books can be of any value and your book buddy will let you know if they are open to an eBook as well.

  5. What if I don’t know what to send?
    Part of this adventure is to figure out what might be a good fit for your book buddy, but you can use the secret message feature to ask your match questions about their reading preferences to help narrow things down!
