I'd like to start a new swap for books. It's pretty simple. If you want to participate, you send me a paperback book that you enjoyed. I'll "jumble" the books and send them out randomly. Each book will have a mailing list with it, and you send the book to the next person on the list after you read it. There are no deadlines on when you have to send the book on to the next person. This is for relaxation and fun! The last person on the list gets to keep the book, or donate it, whatever they want. If everyone seems to like this, I'll start a new one every so often.
Want to join in? I hope so! If you do, please sign up here, and send me your book by May 15.  |
Happy Day!
Peace in our hearts, peace in the world

| I am in. We also could add a little note on our opinion of the book not necessary but if we had the time. Maryellen Benton |

I'm in - I will send you a book. Many of my books are hard cover books, but I will try to find a paperback to send.
I'm assuming the books will be sent Book Rate, because that is a LOT cheaper mail rate for heavier books. But I hate to be the devil's advocate here; however, the only problem with adding a note about the book is if the USPO opens the Book Rate package. If they open the package and find a note or letter in the book, they CAN return it to the sender and tell you it has to go First Class Mail, and that will be a lot more expensive. I thought magazines were reading material and could go Book Rate, but I found out the hard way that because they have advertisements in them, they cannot go Book Rate. I send some Crochet magazines and pattern books Book Rate to a farmgirl and the Grand Rapids PO opened the package. Because there were magazines in the package, they returned the package to my local PO (because of my return address) with postage due that was more than the Book Rate postage.
My post office personnel told me that Book Rate was originally started for libraries who had to transfer inter-library loan books between them so they didn't have to pay as much postage. A pattern book, with NO ads, can go book rate, but magazines cannot. |

Linda, thanks for the valuable information. I had no idea what the definition of "book rate" was.
I have some books that I need to purge. Here are the titles.
Splinters of light by Rachael Herron
The measure of a man by Sidney Poitier (great book written by a great man)
Let me know if you are interested and I will send them.

| Me either, Carole. I thought anything you read was good for book rate. Some media also can go Book Rate, but not all. |

| Welcome Sherry, Linda, and Carole! Boy, that business with book rate is confusing! Yes, I did think we could use book rate for sure to save money. Maybe we shouldn't put in a note, what does every body think? |
Happy Day!

I don't have any books to send right now, but maybe will find some after I get through some of the boxes in the garage.

| Ok, this will be sort of an on-going thing. I'll keep it fluid and make it work for us. That's my kind of challenge! So, just send what you can when you can. Thanks! |

| Just little bump to see if anyone else wants to join this. All you have to do is send me one book to get it started. You can still join in until the end of the day today! |
Happy Day!

Thanks |

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for what he has done.
Philippians 4:6
Just follow God unquestioningly.
Because you love Him so, for if you trust His judgment there is nothing you need to know.
