I discovered a wonderful website the other day...BookMooch.com. All you do is sign up, for free and start mooching books. Basically, you list old books that you have around your house and don't intend on rereading and for each book you list you get 1/10 of a point. Than if someone decides they want your book they send you a request, you respond and get their mailing address and send the book along. If you send a book you get a whole point. If you use flat rate boxes and only mail within your country it is only about $4 to send a book. Than you get to mooch books yourself! It only "costs" one point per book, so for each book you give away you get a book. And since sending a book is only around $4 you basically get a new book for only four bucks. It is really cool because you can exchange emails with the other users about the books you're reading and when you send a book you can hide little notes inside. This isn't exactly breaking out of my shell, since I'm not meeting any new people, but it is getting to know new people indirectly. I absolutely love reading and this is a wonderful way to indulge that and also spread reading on to others. If you are a bookaholic I definitely suggest you check it out.
I think I am going to try a zumba class tomorrow. I am very excited! Does anyone know anything about or have any advice for me?
Today was a fairly boring, but strangely good Monday. I decided to skip sociology this morning and catch up on some sleep instead. Don't worry I got a 97% on the last test, I think I'll be ok. The rest of the day went as usual, except for the GORGEOUS weather. It was a tiny bit chilly but not so cold that you you need a jacket, just a long sleeve shirt. The sky was bright blue. The air felt crisp and wonderful. The fallen leaves were perfectly crunchy :) Thats one of my favorite sounds. Hopefully the rest of the week goes by quickly and happily, I am very excited for the weekend.
I love reading books and this sounds great. I wish I was from USA. :)
