bookmooch strikes again!

hello all,
i may have mentioned bookmooch before, maybe not here hmmm... but i'm feeling excited about it again at the moment. so because i assume some of you read (heheh) i'm feeling inclined to help spread the word.
bookmooch.com is an awesome place- it's like an online lending library, except you don't have to return the books.
how it works:
- you post books you have that you're willing to give away (by mail), you get 1/10 of a point for each book listed
- you find books that you want and put in a mooch request
- if the offering party agrees to send it to you, then it costs you 1 point.
- if someone mooches a book from you, then you get 1 point (points for sending/receiving books may be more if it's out of the country).
- you can create a wishlist of books you want to mooch should they become available.
i've found that it's well worth the cost of sending someone a book, because you're not paying for the books you receive! what a deal! and it works out much better, i think, than selling the books online or at local used bookstores because instead of getting a fraction of the cost back, you're trading book for book!
anyways, sorry if i sound like a crazed advertisement or something, but i just love it. whenever i discover a new book i want to read, i always check bookmooch first!
so (hopefully) you'll embark on your own bookmooch adventures soon... and please pass the word along to other readers you know...
=)
