I know what you mean about the books!  I usually buy paperbacks because I love to read, and they pile up.  I have so many "just waiting" to be read.  I buy ALOT of books, and can only read one at a time, so they pile up.  And until I get all this clutter cleared away, they are piled everywhere.

I have to look at my "favorites" list under my Yahoo email address, but I just learned about a couple of cool Web sites where you can, for example, swap books with people. You list the books you want to give away, and you browse other people's lists. So, if you ask for a book I have offered and I send it to you, I get  one or two 'credits.' I can use these credits to request someone else's book that I'd like to read. Of course, you have to pay to mail them, but if you send a book by media mail I believe it's $3 at most. So, it's a nice way to get "new" books -- which you can then re-offer when you finish reading it -- and to get rid of books you've already read. Another place you might not have thought about donating books to is your local prison. Most of them have libraries. We have a minimum security prison near here, and some guys have read just about everything in the library. Of course, you don't want to donate any books you might have on making gunpowder from common household ingredients, or something like that, ha ha - Brenda

should i tell u bout my fav place to buy books? www.bookcloseouts.com some books r only $1.99!

 

have i added to your clutter yet? LOL! i just got 15 books for $50 but full price would have been over $250!

I am bad with books too.  I spend at least $20 each time the library has a used booksale in town, which thankfully only happens twice a year!  However I have hardly read any of the books I purchased last year let alone this year!!!  I also love Amazon and I think the book closeouts is another one I've perused!

guess what i just found! a new site for books! but this one u can get rid of books as well as receive some! ya gotta pay for postage for books u send out but books u receive r free!

PBS may not be a good web site for me. i am finding waaaaaaaay too many books i want! LOL! getting rid of most 10 books so far and only asked for 1. i got my eye on 4 others and on a list for 15 more! LOL!

 

i only have a small protion of my books listed so far. i think 50 or 60? and that was only going thru 2 shelves of my 1 book case.

yeppers! got 10 books gone and 2 on hold! that means i can get 10 maybe 12 more books to add to my collection! yeah this site may not be the best for getting rid of books unless u have great willpower and NOT get any added to your collection! LOL!
