AWG Annual Celebration and Book Swap (in person)

It's our anniversary! 20 years ago this month, 13 writers gathered at a Cosi in Courthouse and started talking about writing. We're still here and the Cosi is no more! Let's commemorate with a potluck get together and the traditional AWG Murphy Book Swap. Details below. There are two elements to this: 1) The Book Swap a. Bring a wrapped book you want to share with someone. b. Not a current best seller or top author - we're aiming to expand horizons! c. Not a book YOU wrote. d. Not a book someone in AWG wrote. e. Standard Yankee Swap (Dirty Santa, White Elephant) Rules Apply: participants draw a number, beginning with 1, a book is selected and unwrapped. The bringer of the book says a few words about what they like about the book. The next higher number can select a book OR swap their number for any unwrapped book. And so it goes. Stolen books can't be immediately re-stolen and there is a max number of steals per book. f. Used books are fine g. Pro tip - if you are looking for an older or out of print book AbeBooks.com is a great resource but you have to hurry and order. 2) Light Food & Drink a. Pot luck - bring something to share. b. Note allergens on a card with your food - we have vegetarians, GF, and vegans among us. c. Please indicate below in the comments what you are planning on bringing and adjust what you are bringing accordingly please.
