bookmooch

Many of you who have been reading my blog awhile have already read a post about this site. But I have quite a few more readers now and a lot of them are here in Mexico. This site is a book sharing site. Basically you post an inventory and you send books. Every book you add and send you get points and can order from other people all over the world. If any of you join let me know so I can check out your inventory.

    So cool! Out of curiosity, how much does it cost to mail books around?

    gringation- I would kill for such a place. I love the smell of old bookstores. I use to go and spend hours in them.AHHHHH that is deff one thing I miss. I keep telling Issac some day I want to start one here. Oh it would be so cool to have my very own used book store to sit in all day.

    Jackie- Check out the site and join then check out my inventory, we could trade books but do it on there to get points and wouldn't even have to mail them. ;)

    Jill- Its actually pretty cheap. I just sent three books out (all to mexico) and spent a little over 40p. And for that I get three points. So I can order three books within mx or 1 1/2 from another country. Thats 40p for three books in English. You wont find that even in the states most of the time.

    I joined a while ago but had no one in Mexico to send to, and some weeks even 40 is a lot. I order from betterworldbooks.com but it is a lot more than 40 so only once or twice a year now that I am "single". I will have to go see what you all have on there and post some of mine.

    Karen what is your name on mooch so I can check out your inventory. I totally hear you about 40p being to much some weeks. The thing is most people on there are extremely patient and when you get a mooch request you can just tell them. Im going to send this book but it may take a few weeks. Most people are willing to wait. And as you mentioned there really is not cheaper option. Tell me your username or look me up. Im under my blog name boardersaside
