Some of us have great local libraries. Some of us are put on a list for weeks in order to get bestsellers. Some of us spend a fortune on books to keep up.
I use PaperBackSwap. If you have shelves of books that you love and would love others “readers” to have then this might work well for you. Paperbackswap.com asks you to post 10 books on it’s website. Just type in the isbns on the back of your books into the website. It will create a virtual bookshelf for you. It will then grant you 3 credits that allows you to pick 3 books off other peoples bookshelves. The members will send those books to you for nothing ! Other members may pick a book off your shelf. You mail it to them. When they receive it it earns you another book credit. You can order another book ! and so swapping out your books for others books etc etc etc. I love it.
I’ve been doing it for over a year, I have read Like Water for Elephants, The Kite Runner, Pope Joan, Three Cups of Tea and on and on and on. Once read I pop the books back into the system and swap them for something else. The quality is awesome. All books so far have been in pristine condition. Do not swap books with torn covers or odors. Some people request that books be from non-smokers homes. You can customize your preference.
My username is rdrkm on there. Take a look at my bookshelf. You might see something you like.
there is nothing better than getting a new book in your mailbox. It is so much better than getting bills !!!
Happy Reading
