Where do your books go?

When you are done reading a book what do you typically do with it?

Pass it on to someone else to read? Sell?

I usually give books I'm done with to someone else to read, that is if I enjoyed the book.

If I didn't like the book it usually just sits in my closet.

I have been thinking about listing them on half.com.

Re: Where do your books go?

I pass the ones I love on to others to share and hope they return

The others I get stuck with not knowing what to do---my church had a book sale recently and I donated so many

Re: Where do your books go?

I ask around if anyone I know wants and if not, I put it on paperbackswap.com.

I usually donate them to my library 2x a year. They sell them as part of a fundraiser, or they add them to their paperback lending library at the local train station.

I keep them and often re-read them months/years later.

I know I am a dork, but it is part of being an English teacher.

That looks like a cool website, I'd never heard of it.

Me too. Unless it's a really bad book (then it gets donated), it stays on my bookshelf. Eventually I want a huge home library.

You list all of the books you would like to swap and people will email you if they want one of yours. You print out a wrapper and pay for the shipping.. Once the person gets the book, you get credit to get a book from somebody else. I love the site!

Re: Where do your books go?

sounds pretty neat...I'll have to sign up!!!

Do you eventually get the book back or does that person keep it? Do you keep the books people send to you?

You keep the books that you receive. I usually just put them right back on the site to trade. It's great b/c it only costs $2 to send usually
