fefe knows what they're saying
read it swap it

Anybody heard of readitswapit?

I used to be a keen user but personal circumstances left me not having much time for posting and listing stuff.

But im back to using it and listed lots of books.

Normally if there is a book that i really want to read il just go and buy it,because i cant be bothered waiting for it.Good though for unexpected reads and finding new styles and authors.

Re: read it swap it

this sounds interesting, as i have piles of books that i am probably not going to read again any time soon. Is this done through a webpage? I remember reading about a scheme where people left books in public places and people picked them up, read them and then set them free...

The one above is http://www.readitswapit.co.uk/TheLibrary.aspx

The one you're talking about is http://www.bookcrossing.com/

Re: read it swap it

A lot of Bookcrossers register their books on readitswapit as well. Tres confusing.
