I know alot of you guys like to read, so I'd thought I'd start a topic about this site a friend of mine told me about:

www.paperbackswap.com

It's a really cool site. Its a good way to get books, and get rid of books! You can read all about how it works. They also have 2 other sites:

www.swapadvd.com &

www.swapacd.com

hope you guys like them!

One book is worth, one book. You send a book that someone wants to them, and then you have a credit. Then you find the book you want, and someone sends it to you. The only thing you have to pay is shipping, when you ship your book out to someone. Then, when you get a book back, the person who sends you your book pays the shipping. It's only like a dollar or something. But, I've been a member for a while, swaped about 5 books, (even got some LHOTP!) and it works like the website says it does. They have a little promo video that explains it all somewhere on there.....

yea, thats the only trouble! I have alot of books, but I want to keep them all! Sometimes though you might find something at a thrift store or something and if you know someone is looking for it, and its cheap, its a good way to get a credit!

I've signed up...sounds like it might be fun. I do have some books that I probably do need to pass on. Alot of what I have are LIW, Bev. Lewis, and Janette Oke and those are some I wont let go of. BUT I have some good ones like Mary Higgins Clark, and LaVyerel Spencer that I might. My collection is huge...over 200 now so I probably need a way to pass them along if I plan to ever get more. LOL
Thanks for posting the website. :peace:
