BookMooch - Give Books Away, Get Books You Want

If Kindle has you boycotting Amazon and your local book store is a disappointment, you’re in for a treat. BookMooch.com allows users to give books in exchange for books – quite the novel idea. The worldwide service is free, with the exception of postage, and works on a point system that requires users to give away at least one book for every three received. If you’re feeling exceptionally giving you can donate your points to a charity, like a library or a prison. There’s just something about virtual bookstores (and mooching) that tickle my fancy. Let the wish list begin!
