I was one of the last people at a used book sale a year ago, and they told me I could have as many boxes of books as I wanted for $1 a box. They just didn't want to have to pack them all up and store them till the next year. I walked away with nearly 100 books and only paid $5 for them.

Looks interesting, and they have books that cross a variety of genres including fantasy and science fiction. It's called the Suvudu Free Library. http://www.suvudu.com/freelibrary/ Cassidy I also just came across this free book site online.

You buy the first kid's book and then you can swap it all summer long for any book that is $3.99 or under - which is almost all of them! For those who don't know about Children's Orchard, they call themselves "upscale resale" and it's all kids clothes, toys, equipment, etc. I also asked if we have to return the book that we take and they said they don't keep track of what book we swap, which means if it turns out to be my 3 year old's favorite book, we can take one in that he doesn't especially like! We bought a book for $1.99 and will be trading them in all summer long! I don't know if any of you shop at Children's Orchard, but they have a book swap this year, too.

I signed up and can't wait to release a book and track it. Paperbackswap.com is an awesome website - I have traded many books via their website and it's always been fun and worthwhile. My best find on paperbackswap.com was the Betty Crocker Picture Cookbook... we've used it so much! I haven't tried swaptree.com yet, but I'm going to check it out. Thanks for the tips!

There are many online book review sites who are eagerly searching for romance reviewers, and you will have an unlimited amount of books to read -- especially if you are willing to read e-books (digital books to read on your computer, PDA, iPhone, Kindle, or e-reader). All in return for a short review on what you thought about the book. There are the usual authors that you find on the bookshelves, as well as new authors you may not have discovered yet. Thanks for sharing these! I'm always looking for new books to read. Cassidy The book reviewer idea is a great one, especially if you like romances.

You can trade DVDs, video games, and books for free, and then even print your shipping labels from the site. They save all your shipping charges up and bill your credit card once a month. I have done about 15 or so trades this month and gotten some really great items that I traded old things I didnt want anymore- just to name a couple: What to Expect Before You're Expecting, New Moon (Twilight Series), and many other very popular titles. I highly recommend that site! I like http://www.swaptree.com. You can trade DVDs, video games, and books for free, and then even print your shipping labels from the site.
