I was just on PaperBackSwap.com (I love that site - if you haven't sign up yet, you should, it is a great way to turn the books you have read into new (at least new to you) books to read) and I realized that I have 12 credits - yes TWELVE!!! I spent a little while browsing but only came up with a few titles. So I ma putting it to you all - WHAT BOOKS SHOULD I READ??? I really do read just about every genre - so I want to know what your all-time favorite titles are, or maybe just books you think I will like, or books you think every avid reader needs to read. I am like a kid with a quarter burning a whole in my pocket right now and I want to order some books!!! And before you call for the intervention - yes I know I have a serious addiction to books - I love the bookstore, I love a full book shelf, I love having a long list of books to read. But from the conversations I have had with many of you all, I think we could get a group discount, LOL!
I love and recommend Paperback Swap frequently, I have no credits at the moment, used every one up lol.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone should read Still Alice by Lisa Genova.
ReplyDeleteI have never went to the site cause i'm not in the US but I should take a look to get ideas, lol, as if I need more Wishlist books.
I Know This Much Is True by Wally Lamb--buy it, read it, love it--seriously, my favorite book of all time!
ReplyDeleteI just finished A Vintage Affair and it was a nice read by Isobel Wolff.
ReplyDeleteI love Paperback Swap! I usually try to keep at least one credit in case I just HAVE TO HAVE something. =)
@Marce - I wish listed it - no copies available =(
ReplyDelete@Julie - I ordered it!
@Elsie - I have read that one - it is a nice read, I enjoyed it.
Some of my favourites are YA. I really liked A Certain Slant of Light by Laura Whitcomb (an unusual ghost story with absolutely gorgeous writing) and Tiger Moon by Antonia Michaelis (a fairy tale-like story set in India).
ReplyDeleteWhatever you decide to read, I hope you enjoy it!
@ La Coccinelle - neither is on PBS?
ReplyDeleteIll have to check out the site :)

New follower. My very first post on my blog was about PBS. Maybe I should write another one. I only have 2 or 3 credits but am waiting for some soap making books and haven't run across any.

I have 18 Paperback swap credits just burning a hole in my pocket! All the books I want are wish-listed!

Swaptree is awesome! I actually like it a thousand times more than paperback swap. I get tons of books that are 200 deep wait-listed on pbs. Instead of sending out your book, getting credits and then finding a book you want....swaptree sets up 2-way or 3-way trades.....I absolutely love it! You MUST check it out!
