PaperbackSwap.com

With the garden planting and the new baby goat, I haven't had much time to blog. It is absolutely Spring here on the Gulf Coast! Our cherry tree is in full bloom (I see tiny green leaves today!), the bulbs are up, the River Birch have red "buds," the azaleas are blooming brilliant pink. I just love Spring! If you are more North than me, hang on because Spring is coming your way, too. I heard once that Spring heads North at something like 18 miles per day.

I have a new link for you. It is for an online book swap.

Here's how it works: You list books that you want to give away. You send a book to someone through the mail (you can mail it from your mailbox, if it is less than one pound). You then receive a credit to purchase a book for yourself, which you choose out of the thousands listed.

To get started, you need to list nine books, but in return for that you get three credits so you receive books right away. After I listed my first nine books, I was able to pick up 'Kidnapped' by Robert Louis Stevenson (this was a hardback; you can list those, too) and 'For the Children's Sake' by Susan MacAulay. I still have a credit to use, so list your books so I can get them! I was referred to the site by another homeschooling mom; it looks like there are a lot of us on the site, which is great for sharing our extra books.

Go to PaperBackSwap.com to get started. When you sign up, use my referral name: dreamwords@bellsouth.net so I can get a book credit for referring you. Thanks!
