Ex Libris

So, I haven't been here in awhile. The summer has hit me with it's steamy breath and I've succumbed to the hectic schedule that awaited me. I have yet to have a weekend where I can kick back, relax and sleep in... perhaps read a book?

I discovered a wonderful website today. It's bookins.com, and you can trade your used books for other used books. Sounds simple... and it actually is. I made my list of books I'd be willing to part with from my rather extensive (and overloaded) collection and then browsed for the books I'd love to read, and the site matches my stuff with what people want, and their stuff with me. I'm sending out two books tomorrow to new homes and all I had to do was print out the shipping label provided by the site. It's $3.99 to have a book shipped to you, free to send them out. I'm loving it. It works on a point system- 15 points for signing up, so many points for book successfully arriving at its destination. They track the books after you drop them in the mailbox. Little to no effort. That's my kind of company! AND I get packages in the mail!!!!

If you check it out and want to sign up, I'd love to be the one to refer you ('cause then I get more points) , but I won't ever know if you sign up on your own. I'm all about recycling. Especially books. I love a good used book. You can smell the love.
