Share Books, Save Money, Save Resources!
... Loving this site so far! Netflix for books... Post some of your old books, get credits for books you want to read. Send books out you post, get more credits. It's much more user friendly than anything the library has, and it has the ability to keep a ton of lists and tags; which without, my world would come caving in. I'm still holding judgement though until I see if the stuff I actually want to read is on here. (It seemed much wasn't) I did order Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert, I heard something about it on All Things Considered, and it sounded worthwhile... The site does have a suggestion feature built in similar to Amazon or Netflix to find good books fast, which is how I remembered I wanted to read The Memory Keeper's Daughter... and The Substance of Style: How the Rise of Aesthetic Value Is Remaking Commerce, Culture, Consciousness...The Audacity of Hope audio book... you get the picture. As of now, two of my books have been requested! Two more credits for me! Why is everything so much more enjoyable when I order it effortlessly from my laptop?!

I've just sent out 3 books... at a cost to me of around $16... i wasn't too thrilled with that... guess the 'estimated cost' of $2.77 pertains only to the cheapo paperback novels... once those books are marked as received by the recipient, i'll get more credits to get books.. but since all my books tend to be of the heavier hard cover variety, my love of this site may be waning already....
Have gotten an audio book of 'the world is flat' and paperback 'how to travel anywhere'...
