Speaking of the library …

In addition to the book swap sites I was using before, I’ve found two new ones.

WhatsOnMyBookshelf? has already shown some activity since I signed up a week ago.
ReadersUnited is another new one (to me).  I don’t think I’ve gotten around to listing any books there yet.

And as for the ones I’ve already been using, in case you missed them before:

PaperBackSwap swaps more than just paperbacks.  This one is by far my favorite, as it gets the most consistent “traffic.”
BookMooch is another good one.  I have a tendency to run out of points, though, because this is one site where you can’t buy extra points.
TitleTrader is nice, because you can also trade videos, cd’s, etc.  Basically, if it has an ISBN or you can find it on Amazon, you can list it.
FrugalReader hasn’t been especially helpful to me, although it might be for someone else.  I haven’t yet seen any of my wish list books come up, and the site loads pretty slowly for me.  But if you read different kinds of books than I do (for instance, if you read primarily fiction), you might have greater success than I have.
