I am on several book swapping sites. I post all types of books to get some new/used vampire books for my collection. I am logging all of them here on my page. It is taking a long time since I have so many.
Anyone else on any book swapping sites or just want to swap any books you may no longer want or have read. I am a big Vampire collector. I have everything and anything vampire/bat related I can afford to buy. I am intrested in hearing from others who do the same. Di Brittain.

Book swapping sites you list the books you want to get rid of. Once you build up a point you can request a book from someone else. Paperbackswap.com is a nicer site for books but you get some crappy books sometimes. Bookmooch.com lets you list books and the condition they are in. Plus gives you credits for listing books. I get tons of requests and in return I have gotten 100's of books to add to my library. Most of the books I list I pick up used. It is not too bad if you like paperbacks. I don't own a kindle or e reader. I love just collecting vampire books and reading cover to cover. di

I use bookmooch mainly, there are quite a few of us on there from the UK now, but the range of books available aren't as good.

Some of the UK sites are a bit pants as they issue credits depending on the desireability of a book rather than the condition or type. So a book that's in demand is going to have more credits than a book that has not been wishlisted.

I'm not up to much at the moment as handling an 11 month old is enough for me at the moment.

I am lucky to have such a great library service and always reserve books ready for release. Saving lots at the moment by doing this.

I am member of paperbackswap, but I don't list many of my books because all of the ones I have seem to be popular, but only 2-3 times a year do I get any on my wishlist. So I list only enough books to keep me at only 3-4 credits. I get most of my books from the library (which can get books I request from all over New Jersey-I am in the US), so there are not that many books I am interested in that I can't get for free from library. Sharing books in US is pretty cheap- a few dollars to ship small pkgs, less than US$10 to ship big packages, don't know about shipping between US and UK- or the time frame for arrivals so probably not worth it. Haven't looked at bookmooch but will take a peek.

How does bookmooch work? Do you just pay for S&H or do they have some type of account?
