Bookmooch

September 8th, 2008 | by jg3 |

I have a lot fewer books than I did before my last bit of moving around, but even still some of the books I’ve kept (and added to my collection) are unnecessary or are collecting dust.  The last time I paired down the collection I did so by dropping off a box of dusty books to a charity who was, I am sure, something less than enormously thrilled to have more dusy, old books.

A couple of weeks ago Bookmooch was mentioned in passing and I checked it out, intreigued.  Since then I’ve listed a couple of stacks of books and had a good chunk of those spoken for.   All I have to do is mail them out and I know (or at least I choose to believe) that they are going to someone who will appreciate them.  By sending them, I am credited with points which I can redeem by having other people send me books that I want.

At least next time I move my load will be lighter.
