I tried it, I liked it, I’m passing on the info
I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned the Paberback Swap here yet, but I’ve been trying it out recently and have to say…
It’s really a fabulous idea!
I mean how many of us have books laying around that we no longer need. Honestly, I have a whole stack of books that I read in my junior high/high school days that I’m never gonna read again. But some young girl may just love them now! And best of all, you pay nothing when you receive a book. You only pay a dollar and some change when you mail a book.
Here’s what I did:
- I signed up
- Posted 10 books I had laying around that I wanted to get rid of
- I got 2 free book credits for listing at least 10 books
- I then searched the book database (over a million listed)
- I found 2 books I wanted (Power of a Praying Parent & Women Leaving the Workplace)
- Clicked the ‘Order this book’ button
- Got my free used books in the mail within a week and a half
Now, I’ve also recently sent one of my books out to another member who requested it, so I got another free book credit to use and got my Peanut a Carl book. (a child’s book about a rottweiler) I’ve actually been looking through more of my books to see what else I can list so I can get more books that I know I’ll read.






I’m going to try the Paper Back Swap and I will try to remember to come back to your blog and use you as a referral. I have lots of books to get rid of. I am trying to declutter and I love to read but I’ve got tons of books I’ve already read and I only keep my very favs.

Oh, I see it’s not for Canadians… Casey, we should set one up!
