I love this club!
I’ve been swapping books since August of 2006. I’ve participated in 462 transactions now. That means I’ve either sent or received a total of 462 books! No wonder I cannot catch up with my reading!
Here are a few helpful hints I’ve come up with along the way:
1. List every book that you are willing to send out first. If it doesn’t have an isbn number, you can follow the instructions at the bottom of the posting page. Don’t forget textbooks. They go great this time of year. You also can post older vintage books. Just check the posting requirements and read what a “good” condition book is.
2. Next, put every book that you know that you want on your wish list as soon as you think of it, read about it, or hear about it. You can wish for up to 200 books or audio books.
3. Put other books you’re not sure you want but want to remember on your reminder list.
4. Now, start listing all of your other books that you own on your TBR pile list. That’s your To Be Read list. If someone is wishing for one of those books, there will be a big W on the right side. This may help you decide the order that you read your books in. If someone’s wishing and you decide to post the book, the wisher will be contacted immediately. That can be a quick way to pick up some more credits.
5. To help you build your wish and reminder lists, you can look at the wish lists of your buddies and people who request books from you or send books to you.
6. Look at what they have to offer, too. You may find something you like.
7. If you want to receive something from a certain person, request it while you’re on their books listed page.
8. If you want to send a book to a certain person, post it from their wish list page. It will be offered to them first.
I do not participate in the forums. I don’t know what they’re like.
If I can help you in any way, please let me know. Also, let me know what your user name is so that I can take a look at what you have and what you’re wishing for. Who knows, I may have something that I can post for you.
