A great discovery - Bookmooch

I haven't finished any books recently, I still have about 100 pages of A.M. Homes' This Book Will Save Your Life (a strange one, but addictive). Going off topic here, but has anyone read her The End of Alice? What did you think? I own it, but it kind of freaks me out because of the subject it deals with and I'm not sure I want to read it. Thoughts?

Anyway, thanks to Bookgirl, I discovered a great system called Bookmooch. Basically, you send books to people and you get books back. It's worldwide because it's owner and founder lived in non-English speaking countries and was frustrated with how much wasn't available anywhere. This suits me fine, as my book spending has been out of control lately so I'm hoping to cut back. I joined and am already sending out two books today so will get some back soon. What a cool system!

So glad you've join in on BookMooch! Isn't it great? I'm so addicted to it - always going in to check. I've had a lot of luck and have gotten some great books. Hope you enjoy it!

It's pretty cool... I've already sent out some of mine and am waiting for books to arrive for me. The only thing is that I discovered that it's pretty expensive to mail books to the US so I'll have to limit that...
