I am a book-a-holic! I love to read. I always have a book with me to ready when I get a spare moment. I primarily read romance, but also enjoy suspense and fantasy.
I was spending $40 - $60 every couple of weeks on books at Barnes & Noble & Amazon. I make good money, but that is quite a lot to drop on books. I would even run out of books to read & have to re-read favorite series (which I enjoy as long as it has been a while since I’ve read it.).
I was searching online for a copy of a book by a favorite author… I found a copy of it listed at a website called ‘PaperBackSwap.com’. I went to the site and was amazed to realize that it was a book trading site.
I looked at the membership information and was even more surprised that there were not any mandatory fees involved in the process!
If Jane has listed a book & I want to get it, I can select it… she will then mail it to me. When I mark that I’ve received it, she will get a credit. She can then use the credit to select a book for herself. The person who has listed that book will mail her the book & then receive a credit.
It’s a great system! I only pay for the postage of the books which I send out.
There is even the ability to purchase credits in-case I want to get a book but I don’t have any credits saved up.
