Book swaping

I love to read! A few months ago I found an amazing website www.paperbackswap.com. It lets me post books I own and then alerts me when someone on the site wants that book. I then send it out, paying for postage and when that book is received by whomever requested it I get a credit. I can then go and request books. 1 book per 1 credit. Its really nifty if you read a lot.

I used to go into the Boarders and I could walk about having spent $50.00 easy. I know that doesn't seem like a lot to most people but to me thats a ton of money, especially when you're just buying a couple books.   Now with this website I don't have to buy my books anymore. I enjoy it  a lot.

It also works about pretty good for me because I have a ton of books and an amazing memory. Having an amazing memory I never have to reread a book. I can pick up a book I've read, look at the cover and remember exactly what the book was about. Rereading also doesn't suit me because I read to find out whats going to happen next. Being able to remember kind of takes the fun out of wanting to know what happens next.

Right now I'm working on collecting enough credits so I can switch them over to www.swapadvd.com That way I can get rid of my books that I don't want and trade them in for DVDs! Yeah buddy!!

Time to go get all by books out so I can post them and trade them!
