Book swap/buy/give away

The parenting & fashion boards already have swaps so it got me thinking perhaps storyboard would opt in.

We could post books we have purchased & read or received & are not interested in reading. I figured it might be a good way for all of us to save some $$$$, especially since books can be so much Chat Icon.

Thoughts?

Re: Book swap/buy/give away

Just a suggestion for those looking for more books to swap, www.paperbackswap.com is a great site. It's free to join, all you pay is shipping to mail books out. For every book you give, you get a credit to request one. I have been a member for 2 years and love it! If you sign up, please use charon54 as the referer, so I get an extra credit! Thanks!

What a great idea. I've been doing the library thing for a while $$$, but I will grab a list of stuff I have, too.

Re: Book swap/buy/give away

A group I belong to does a book swap GTG. Everyone has to bring a book and everyone leaves with a book. Some people include a note in the book as to why they selected it for the GTG. People browse the books during the GTG and the conversation usually revolves around the books that are on the table. There are usually some people who bring a few extra books so that the selection is good.

I'd be happy to do the same thing with LIFers. I don't think I'll be able to put the time into organizing a GTG during the next few months but if there is still interest, maybe someone can step in to organize or else I will do it as soon as I can.

The book swap I go to, since some people asked, is a networking event for lawyers at the Suffolk County Bar Association.

Is anyone else still interested in doing this?

Maybe we could list the books we have and the books we're looking to read.
