Hooray for Books!

What better way to launch a book blog than to tell you the best place to find books!

I've been a member of paperbackswap.com for two years now - and I'm a huge fan! I've saved over a thousand dollars swapping my unwanted books for ones I do want. I even used it for some of my literature classes in college. It's so worth it!

Let me tell you how it works because it is so easy. I listed a bunch of books on the site (you have to list at least 10 books to get in the club) and I got 2 free book credits to get me started. So you can order 2 books right away - free of charge and have them mailed directly to you. No strings attached. No gimmicks. No spam mail. Nothing! You just have to love reading.

Then when another member selects one of my books that I have listed, I mail it to them. Yes, I pay for the postage. But then I get a book credit and I can select a book that I want. So another Club Member returns the favor and mails me one of their books free of charge. For every book I mail out, I get another book in return - a true shared system!

And when someone requests one of your books, all you have to do is print a two page document on regular paper from your printer, and use them to wrap the book. The wrapper includes the mailing address and the amount of postage. You can even pay for postage right on the site! Then drop the package in the outbound mail. Hey, most of the time you don't even need to go to the post office!

You really need to check this out! And if you do sign up, please list my email in the referral section because then I get another free book.

Serious - the best website ever! I've found so many great authors! The forums are also really neat. I've met some wonderful people, and get to hear about all different books.
