I love to read and occasionally when there is nothing new at the library, I have to buy books. I would like to find a site online where I could swap out books I have with others, so that I could trade out. Otherwise I am stuck rereading books. I decide to see if there was anything like this on the web. This is what I found:
www.paperbackswap.com
www.swaptree.com
www.bookswap.com
www.bookmooch.com
www.titletrader.com
www.bubbasbookswap.com
I have not checked out any of these sites yet, have you? Are they good ones? Some better than others? Let me know what you think.

I'm part of "WhatsOnMyBookshelf.com" - it's pretty much the same idea. Though I haven't requested for any books, I get a lot of request for mine. It's a pretty good idea - and frugal too especially for paperback readers. Because you don't have to go out and buy new books - you just check out what other people have. Just try one out and see if it works for you.
Good luck and have fun!

I love bookswaps! Although, I prefer doing it in person as you also get to discuss and share recommendations with other swappers. :-) Nonetheless, its a great way to save money and get a new read for yourself.
