I have an Idea :thinking

Would anyone want to do a book trade?
I have so many books I have read and loved, but they are just so many times you can read them. I figure someone else might want them. It is also cheaper than buying new books. ;)
I looked at the USPS web site we can mail them Flat rate or Media rate
( Flat rate = Any weight, any State, $8.10. No matter which Flat Rate Box you choose, the postage is $8.10, regardless of weight or destination
Media rate= media rate it is about 6.00 for 10 pounds)

I figure we can either:

1) Start a book train (like the coupon train) I will start a box with paper backs and send it to the first person, they take & add what they want then mail it to the next person on the list. ( I figure we just put a list of names and addresses with the books and follow the list) When it gets back to me, we start over. I figure we can even do some childeren's books. I know I have 2 Lemoney Snicket ones on CD, I don't want
2) Let me know it your interested and I'll mail the ones you want


What do you guys think?

OHHHH I love Danielle Steele, I think I have all the ones you do, I'd have to look.

I'm too picky on my books but I might find something good :D

I love the idea, but I know I won't like lugging a box of books to and from base, since that's where we get our mail/packages at. I have a few books, not as many as you, snafu. (You must read really fast!! LOL!)

Hey that sounds like fun!!!
Does any Nora Roberts fan have the 1st book of the Garden Trilogy? Blue Dahlia? My Aunt had the other 2... Black Rose and Red Lily They both are AWESOME and Im dying to read the other. But too stingy to buy it. :lol If anyone has it and would like to loan it to me I would be sooo grateful! I treat books like gold since I cherish them! :)
