Joined the Paper Back Book Swap

Several people have told me about this website www.paperbackswap.com, and I finally caved in and started an account. It's such an ingenious way to get rid of books you don't read, and you get to swap them with a choice of over 3 million books you've never read before, including hardcover & audio books. Every time you send a book to someone, you get a book credit. And when you join and post 10 of your books you get 1 free book credit. And there's also a CD and DVD swap site you can join too.

This is the first book I've sent away for:

Size 12 is Not Fat, by Meg Cabot, author of the Princess Diaries series

In the first title in her Heather Wells series, Cabot combines a fairly straightforward mystery with a single-girl-in-the-city plot in which Heather triumphs over cheating guys, bad luck, and a fattist society. Most of the characters are two-dimensional, but Heather's strong, amusing voice, the plot twists, and the possibility of romance will draw mystery and chick-lit readers alike.

It sounded like a fun mystery romance for the summer, and I figured I better get more in touch with the book choices for young adults, since I'll be volunteering with the Central Library's teen summer reading program. I'm looking forward to it!
