Book swap - anyone help me ?

Hello

I am looking to find a book called Lucy in the sky, by Paige toon - its a chick-lit type book. I would be willing to swap it for her second novel JOhnny be good.

I also have loads of Jill Mansell books and other chick-lit types if anyone wants to offer me a swap.

Sick of buying books as I read them too quickly !!!

This way its the cost of a stamp to get a different book !!

thanks
dani

Have you tried Amazon, Dani? Some of their books are only 1p! Mind you, there's postage on top......

Have you tried your local library, I use mine a lot as I read quickly and can't afford to keep buying books. Most of them are quite up to date with books now, and if you try one and don't like it, at least it hasn't cost you anything!

Amazon is a good sell your books as they don't charge to list (unlike Ebay who seem to be getting more and more expensive!).

I've sold all my uni books on there.

My OH goes to the library a lot as he can get through a book in 2 days

I don't read chick lit type books, so can't help you out there

Hi Dani,
My Mum uses a site called 'Read it swap it', don't know if you have used it or heard of it, but my Mum gets all her books on there now, and just swaps her old ones for the ones she wants!

thanks for all the helpful suggestions.

I joined the readitswapit forum and its great have managed to swap 8 books so far, but not found anyone to swap for the one I want yet. Goign to go and root around and dig out all my old books and put them online and get myself some more reading material !!

recommend to anyone with loads of read books lying around- Wuffle !!!!!
