book swap
I love to read. Anybody who knows me knows that I am crazy over books. The husband supports me on this hobby(?) which is good because I don't know what I would have done if he is against it. I have bought, swapped, threw, even burned books in the years that passed. Only recently did I think about keeping all the books I bought not because I had plans for them (not at the time anyway) but because I just did not want to waste them. Then I have found a resource online to get new (at least something I have not read) books while using my old books as barter. I have read reviews, went online and done research, before I decided to give it a try. It is slow going. Not a lot of people apparently read what I like to read which is fiction. And even if they do, the market is saturated with the same kind of books I have. Clearly a lot of competition there. But I did not lose hope. I persevered and almost a year later, I have swapped and ordered several books that I am happy about. I have not been to the store to buy more books. It does not mean that I don't want to, there is just no need to. Not at the moment anyway. I save money this way and the anticipation of getting a new book in the mail is priceless. I do hope to get more orders for my books though because I have a lot of titles lined up on my to be read file. What can I say, there are so many good books out there :D
