Book Swap

Hi everyone,

I have been noticing that a lot of us really love reading, and I thought it might be a good idea to create a book swap.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I have seriously hundreds of books, and a lot of them I know I probably will not get back to again and they are sitting on my bookshelves. I have tons of paperbacks and can send things pretty cheaply to anywhere.

Is anyone interested in this. Books can be expensive, that is if you like keeping them longer than libraries allow.

If anyone is interested, I will post the titles I have. Reading is a great escape sometimes.

Hugs,

Kerie

What a fantastic idea. How much to post books between Ca (is that Canada?) and England. Do you know?

I'm originally Canadian and when I post greetings cards back over there it costs less than 2 which is less than 4 cdn dollars. So I think a small paperback book wouldn't be much.

I'd definitely be in on that, sounds like a great idea-i love to pass books on! Probably would never get any work done though, when i have a new book i cant put it down until ive finished!

Great idea. I buy tons of books - usually bargain books and then I give them away to a store for poor people. I only keep books that are real special to me.

I would love to participate but I volunteer 7 hrs. or more at the library, so I get to reserve the new books as we get them. I have loved reading and the library since I was a kid. I have just a few books that I can share so just need to know what you all like.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
