Thought I'd share with anyone that's interested. I love reading, and I do it almost every day. I belong to this site (www.bookmooch.com) where I can post books into my inventory and into my wishlist. When someone wants a book from my inventory, I pay the $2 + to ship it to them and I get a point for that. In turn, I can spend my point on a book that someone else has that's on my wishlist or that I find just browsing around. The person I mooch from will pay to send that book to me (so that they get the point for it and can spend it on a book they want). It's very simple to use and I've gotten a lot of great books from there that I can't find at my local library or book store.

Check it out www.bookmooch.com

Happy reading,
Crystal

I use Paperbackswap to do the same thing. I'll have to check this site out too and see how it works. :)

Vikki...I'm also on PBS but I find it soooo much more difficult to use. With PBS, everything has be to be in practically new condition. On Book Mooch, just read the condition codes on the books. I don't mind a book that looks like it's be loved and read over and over. Plus...PBS makes you send the book w/in 5 business days...which is a little bit harder when you're having some issues w/ money. With the recipients ok you can push back a week, a month, or more. A lot of people have 100 list long TBR piles so they don't mind waiting for you to send something.

Oh neat! Sounds like Bookmooch has some good aspects to it. Thanks for the info. My TBR pile is a mountain so I nevermind waiting much. And it would be nice to have a little extra time to send them.
