Book Swap - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

PaperDolls · 02-26-2009, 11:46 AM

I know there have been threads and discussions about this before but I found a way cool website that could help us facilitate a well organized book swap.

How many of you are interested?

**Done_With_It** · 02-26-2009, 11:49 AM

I already go to another one to swap mine, otherwise I would. : ]

sounds like a great idea though!

**Done_With_It** · 03-07-2009, 12:48 AM

Hey Doll,

You ever read books online?

FullBooks.com - Thousands of Full-Text Free Books

Lenina · 03-07-2009, 12:58 AM

I would be very interested! I have way too many books from text books to silly romance novels.

Keep me posted on this!

Love,

Lenina

I would be very interested in this, not sure if the postage to the US wouldnt cost more than the book itself but I love to know what others are reading.

PaperDolls · 03-17-2009, 10:11 AM

Ok, I've set up a group at swaptree dot com.

Check out the site and let me know what you think.

Lenore · 03-17-2009, 02:28 PM

Sorry if I'm being a little dim but where on the swaptree site can I find the group? *blush*

PaperDolls · 03-17-2009, 02:39 PM

Ooops sorry! I forgot to include that.

Under community, click on groups. Search for SoberRecovery Book Swap.

WLDKATZ · 03-17-2009, 03:15 PM

Lenore · 03-17-2009, 04:00 PM

I'm not sure how it will be to send over seas but make sure to ask about media mail, do you know if that makes a difference when it comes to different countries?

Serenity Bound · 03-19-2009, 09:46 AM

okay, so I checked it out, but I must be missing something cause I couldn't find groups?

also, what happened to the bookworm thread?

PaperDolls · 03-19-2009, 02:22 PM

I couldn't find that thread either. It may have been lost in a crash.

It's possible you have to be signed in to see the "groups" link.
It's free to create an account. I've been using it for a short time.
Traded 2 books and I've not had any problems at all.

You might just check the site out, dig around a little to see what you think, then may be create an account.

Serenity Bound · 03-20-2009, 12:40 PM

Thanks, I'll check it again.

Lily · 03-30-2009, 08:49 PM

paperbackswap dot com is another good one.

mooselips · 04-15-2009, 02:19 PM

I joined a couple days ago, and just sent out my first book, and I am going to receive "A Monk Swimming" by McCourt.

I am so excited.

Thank you SOOO much for introducing me to that dotcom.

PaperDolls · 04-16-2009, 03:55 PM

Rock on Moose!
I love it.

I'm into audio CD's right now so I haven't used it much lately. But I've gotten some great books so far.

Glad to hear your enjoying it.

Aysha · 06-22-2009, 06:10 PM

I just joined swaptree.com.
I am not a big reader. I do have some books I dont want anymore tho. And am very interested in some books on Buddhism or addiciton and recovery. Not 12 step based.
Or even books like Heroin Diaries and Scar Tissue. I like books like that.

I ahve set up a want list and a have list is in progress as well.

If anyone has anything like I want..Look me up and let me know.
I have a few Sylivia Browne books on Past lives and Angels.
I also have alot of romance novels. Alot of Nora Roberts. (Not mine)
Grams loves those and she can read a book in 2 or 3 days.
I also have a book called "The steps We Took" By John Q.
Its like a teaching of working the 12 steps.
I am not working 12 step programs so I dont want it.

Any help would be appreciated.

And my Username is the same as here. Thx.

pearlwolf911 · 06-22-2009, 06:41 PM

is a book swap when u physically send the books around??

Aysha · 06-22-2009, 07:19 PM

Yes

I also joined the SR group on swaptree.

Aysha · 07-06-2009, 10:00 PM

Paperbackswap.com is way better than swaptree. You dont have to have a book the person wants that has a book you want. Its all on credits. Request the book you want and they send it. And you get a credit for whatever book you want on the site. And when someone requests a book from you ..Just send it out and when they get it. You get a credit. Also you get 2 free credits when you join. I already got my 2 free ones and have sent out 2 of my own. I really like it alot.

PaperDolls · 07-07-2009, 11:54 AM

I've used that site too Chy. It ain't bad.
