Back in May I asked if anyone was interested in a Book Blogger Penpal Scheme and a few of you said you would be interested. This post is to find out if those people are still interested, and to see if there any others who would also like to take part.

To recap the ideas that were tossed around:
- Set up a blog for the scheme. People's bios/descriptions of the type of people they would like to write to will be added to the blog, and people can browse through and see who they may like to talk to. These bios/descriptions can be separated into countries, so people can find people from where they're from if they want to stay within their own country, but also by type of blog - i.e. YA, fantasy, classics, chicklit, etc, so people can find like-minded bloggers.
- The person running the blog doesn't have the addresses - there is no address keeper. Only you give out your address. For example: Blogger A sends an email about writing to Blogger B that goes to whoever is upholding the Penpal blog. They then pass the email on to Blogger B, who can then check out Blogger A, and decide for themselves whether they share their address or not. If they want to, they email Blogger A themselves, but if not, so there aren't any issues, they email blog upholder saying no, who emails back Blogger A to say Blogger B declined the penpal request. Does that make sense?
