Third Wave Coffee and Crossword

 Bookstore came together to celebrate “World Book Day” with a week-long (April 23rd-26th) book exchange built on the power of connection via reading. The book swap sparked conversations and connections between bookworms, creating a stronger sense of community. 

 In line with this year's theme, 'Read Your Way', it also aimed at letting people discover how to interact with literature that speaks to them. And what better way to pick a new genre than a book swap?

The

four-day event

 held across co-located Third Wave Coffee and Crossword bookstores located in  Pune, Mumbai, Chandigarh

 and Bengaluru, saw 750+ book exchanges.

 Book lovers brought in a cherished book, leaving a short note explaining what made it special and walked away with a new title to discover. 

“It was a truly engaging

 and wonderful initiative,” said

 a participant at the Bengaluru event.

 ”Finding a book recommended by a fellow book lover felt like receiving a gift and it felt wonderful going home with something new to read. Finding a note attached to the book felt all the more special. I had a great time conversing and making new friendships

 over a shared love of books.” 

“Books

 and coffee have long been a perfect pairing. There is something truly special about curling up with a good book and steaming cup of coffee. Partnering with Crossword Bookstores allowed us to celebrate this connection and foster a love for reading within our

 communities”, said

Ayush Bathwal, Co-founder

 at Third Wave Coffee

“We’re thrilled to have

 teamed up with Third Wave Café in such a meaningful way. Our book exchange is so much more than swapping reads; we're fostering connections, spreading the joy of reading, and creating special stories unique to each giver and receiver. The response has been

 heartwarming, and we're eager to bring more initiatives like this to life.”,  said

Nidhi Gupta, Director

 at Crossword Bookstores.

Beyond book swaps, this initiative aimed

 at building and strengthening a sense of community and forging unexpected connections by encouraging people to attach a note within it. Capturing stories and anecdotes about why they enjoyed that book, or simply wishing the next reader a happy reading experience

 added a personal touch to the whole exercise, thus elevating the overall experience.
