Perhaps this might have been more appropriate to the suggestions forum!
I've been wondering if there would be any interest in starting a Kevin's Watch book swap? I am sure that many of you, like me, have books you don't want to keep or need to free up room so you can get more books (or you just need to free up room period!) and you don't know what to do with them!
I haven't given much thought as to the how this would work out but would try to come up with something if there was interest.
Any thoughts?
Book swap?

If nothing gets started here, bookcrossing.com is a terrific site for information on releasing books to the wild.

I'd be interested. I have multiple copies of books I don't want. Tell you what... I'll post a list of what I'm looking (or willing, for the right trade) to get rid of (when I get home), and if anybody bites, we have the beginnings of a KW book swap.

How far are you now?I never get rid of my books i hve a rarely large bookcase full of them and i love them all, except the rubbish ones.
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
Full of the heavens and time.

Book swap? Sounds interesting to me, because I have a LOT of books.
Read all, liked only about half.
Jay - I will accept your copy of RUNES for a few Tom Clancy
or Dean Koontz novels.
(...or Stephen King, or Dennis Lehane, or Leonard Nimoy,
or "Franklin W. Dixon"...)

Well, here's your chance to unload some of them!Warmark wrote:I never get rid of my books i hve a rarely large bookcase full of them and i love them all, except the rubbish ones.
This is what I was thinking.......(and please, if anyone thinks of something that might work better, say so!)
To get a book, you give a book (although, not necessarily to the same person)
Shiping to be done by the person sending the book and it should all even out.
And that, my friends, is as far as I've gotten!
Be kind to your web-footed friends, for a duck may be somebody's mother.

I'm a reading pro, what can I say, heh. I'm reading so fast, the pages are catching on fire because of how fast I'm turning them.Alynna Lis Eachann wrote:Wow, you're cruisin', aren't you?
I forgot to bring the book to Wisconsin, so that set me back another week. Now that I'm back, I haven't been able to jump start back into reading it. Maybe this weekend I'll force myself to get back into it. On the plus side, I may be able to finish only weeks before Fatal Revenant, thus saving me years of waiting, heh.
I'm sure I have a few books I'm willing to part with myself. I'll have to look around.-jay
