I think I read about this web site from this forum but can't find it now. Since finding it I have swapped 5 books in the last 3 weeks. You post any finished with books on the site and then anyone looking for a book can ask you to 'swap'. You then look through their book list and decide whether or not to swap with them. You can search the site for a particular book and request a swap. I have been able to get a number of books for the EYESDOWN book club this way and it only costs the postage! Well worth a look.

These all sound great but why not use your local library? In many areas its now a case of use it or lose it. Libraries are completely free (no postage!) and they also enable authors to be fairly rewarded for the number of people reading their books. And you never know - whilst looking for one specific book, you might find another that you wouldn't otherwise have read.
