Reader Hack: Trade in Your Books
September 10, 2007
I just moved to a much smaller house and have had to get just plain mean with myself regarding my CDs, books and clothes. I used to think I had to keep all books I enjoyed. NO MORE!
You can trade them at paperbackswap.com or titletrader.com for books on your list (which you can read and then trade or pass on!)
I figure if I give something away that I later want, I can always check it out at the library…happy decluttering
