Attention Book Nerds

Boy, do I have some websites for you!

Shelfari.com - recent discovery...like 4 hours ago.

1. It's a fun website where you can make a shelf that holds a picture of all the books you've read. You can rate them on a 5-star scale, and say when you read them. So simple, yes...but why is it so fun??

Here's my bookshelf

2. You add people as friends so you can browse through their books and then add them to your wish list and stuff... super fun and awesome.

3. You should join. It's free, and you can just enter my yahoo email address to add me as a friend. I have 3 friends, I'll take whatever I can get!

4. I got a cool new widget for my blog... I know you like it! ;)

I'd reserve a good 2 hours... [Nerd Hi Five]

PaperBackSwap.com - for the Book Nerds out there who don't have anymore room on their shelf.

1. You list 9 books you're willing to swap - super easy. They just have to be in decent condition - no water damage and cover in tact.

2. You get 2 or 3 credits automatically for signing up...then you get a credit for every book you ship out. Before you know it, you swapped out all your old and stupid books for new and exciting ones and you only pay for the shipping on the outgoing books ($2.13 pre-postage hike) I've been a member for less than a year and have gotten 12 new (to me) books free and clear. I've also been so happy to get rid of the books I had listed.

*Also, make sure you put my yahoo email as a referral if you do it, I get a free credit and will love you forever. :)

Happy reading!
