Any paperbackswap.com girls in here?

I have never heard of this site before. I'm signing up right now and it's asking who refferred me. Do you want to PM me either your PBS email or nickname? That way you get credit, if they give it ;)

I'm probably too late as I'm sure you've already signed up but my nickname is "jessievinson". I'm loving the site, it's a really neat way to get rid of books you don't read and get some new ones.

I just joined, and am very excited. I am wrapping up three books to send out right now. But am I just "challenged," or is wrapping them in the 8.5 x 11 paper kind of a pain in the ass? I need a better system!

Yay, I'm glad you two joined! What are your names on the site so I can check out your bookshelves and see if there's anything I can order?

Sephorablue, yeah it is kind of a pain in the ass wrapping it in that paper. I get the paper bags when I grocery shop and have tons of those so I just wrap the books in a cut up grocery bag, plus it makes the wrapping a little more heavy duty.

I've already sent out 9 books! The rest of the books on my bookshelf are books there are tons of copies of on the site though so I'm sure my sending will slow down now. If you go to the Book Bazaar forum, you can post deals, like a 2 for 1 deal or a 3 for 1 deal to give people incentive to order off of your bookshelf. I'll probably have to do that to move some of my books.
