Well I'm about to hop back on the paperback swap train so I thought I would explain to y'all the beauty that is:

So, on paper back swap you can list all of your books that you have finished reading and no longer want. They have to be in okay condition, meaning no smoky smell and no massive amounts of highlighting, but they don't have to be perfect, just like us. 
After you post books people can request them and then you print out their address, wrap up the book (usually in just the piece of paper you printed the address out on, making it super easy), and send it on it's merry little way. Usually you can send it media mail, making it at most like $2.38. When they receive it you then receive a credit. With the credit you may in turn order a book, which will then arrive in your mailbox a few days later. So all in all you usually end up just paying less than $3.00 to get a new to you book. And the great thing is that it's already passed through multiple readers, so it's good for the environment too! It's a super easy thing to use, no putting your credit card number online, and no hassling. They total up your savings by buying used and so far I've saved $135.00 after paying for shipping. What a deal! I've gotten lots of good books and cleared off some of my, and my lovely parents bookshelves. 

Now I've got to get my read on and send them off to other readers. 


Trade Books for Free - PaperBack Swap.

If you've got a lot of books you are done with you should try it out. If you sign up and put me as your referal I will get a credit, but I will send it your way so you'll have 2 credits to get started with! Just enter kailinbennett@hotmail.com as the nickname for the referal.
Happy Reading!
