I’m not sure where this belongs, hopefully I’ve got it in the right place.

Is anyone interested in swapping paperbacks? Fairly general, “I’ve read a good book (paperbacks or others) and I’ll send it to you”. I read a fair amount of mysteries and legal thrillers (2-3 week). I just finished Nancy Kopp, Blind Trust. It’s a great story but I have no interest in keeping the paperback. Anyone else read the same kind of stories and interested in swapping?

This is a nice idea. Right now I’m inundated with unread books or I’d take you up on it.

Have you checked out paperbackswap dot com? It’s a book exchange website, and I think it’s free.

Another vote for [www.paperbackswap.com](http://www.paperbackswap.com). It’s free and you get three free credits just for signing up. I’ve been a member for three or four years now. I don’t know if Canada is eligible to participate, though.

Apparently they’ve received lots of requests from Canadians but we are not able to participate yet.

So, back to my original question, I guess.
