Save a Tree, and "Give " New Life to that Dusty Old Copy of Gone with the Wind!
Once again, my sister has given me a whole new reason to love the internet...
I just joined this on-line book swap, and I think it is pretty cool. You simply post books you are willing to "give" to other users. Then if someone selects your book, you pay the postage to send that book on to its new home. What do you get in return? A credit to request a free book (or two) from another user.
Okay, so I generally give my used books to friends or charity EVENTUALLY. Still, my house is full of books that I cannot seem to part with despite the fact that I will never read them again. So, I am going to give it a go. Besides, I think it is kind of exciting and romantic to receive a book with it's own history and to have it show up in my mail from a distant land...
If you join and you see a book posted by me, VegasBabe, give me a call--I will see about getting it to you via the BookMooch black market--no points required.

Hey Vegasbabe! Some of those books are mine! I guess that's what I get for dumping them at your house! Glad to see they might be re-read! Cheers!
Wow, I was drunk with the excitement of it all... I did not put any of your books on the original list, but then I got desperate... I just needed three more books to get the one I wanted, and I kept getting all of these emails... FYI the Time Travelers' wife is my copy. :)
I guess I did lose control... but I thought "I just needed some titles and I can replace them later..." I have an addiction!
Next thing you know I will be filching books from the public library. Help!
I have been in "the club" for less than a month, and I already have three books coming my way... any day now...
I am not a sucker... just because I have mailed out two w/o actually receiving any... I have great faith in BookMooch...
I will keep you posted.

PS Have not given away any of Big Sis's books. :)
