Book 1/15 leaving my house for #MarchUnshelving!! This one just wasn't for me, so it's heading out via Paperback Swap, which if you haven't checked out you totally should!!
Readathon progress: finished a book and halfway through two more. Super busy week so not as much reading time as I want!!

mollyrotondo What is Paperback Swap? Something on Litsy? 5y
TheAromaofBooks @mollyrotondo - no, it's a completely separate thing - paperbackswap.com - basically you list books that you are ready to get rid of. If someone requests one, you send it to them free of charge (and you pay the postage). Every time you send a book, you earn a credit. Then you spend your credit requesting other people's books - which they then send to you for free (they pay postage). You're encouraged to send books media mail, which means they ⬇ 5y

TheAromaofBooks @mollyrotondo (cont'd) - only cost about $3 to mail, so basically you are getting books for around $3 each. You can create a wishlist of books you want, and when someone posts it, PBS will send you an email to give you a chance to request it before it's posted on the general website as well. It's a nice way to trade books especially mysteries, romances - trade paperback types. 5y
mollyrotondo @TheAromaofBooks thank you! I feel like I‘ve stumbled onto this at some point but didn‘t know anyone who used it who could recommend it. Nice way to #unshelf though. I will look more into it! 5y
TheAromaofBooks @mollyrotondo - it isn't a great way to get super new, popular books, but I read a lot of older cozy mysteries, or random Nora Roberts romance, things like that, and can almost always find them. I keep a wishlist of random books I'd like to have and have been amazed at the fact that sometimes I have gotten really nice hardcover books, too! 5y
