Hey friends,
This past Sunday I launched The Book Exchange forum. I've been thinking about doing a book exchange for our community for over a year now. I wasn't able to previously because it required a small start up fee, which I am thankfully able to take care of now. I did some looking around and I found that I could still bring my idea to life because I'd yet to find a completely free and interactive website to exchange books. Thus here we are - I decided to try my hand at creating one myself with The Book Exchange forum. I personally felt that for this purpose, a simple format was the best way to go. So I decided to embed a forum into Shelf Addiction instead of having to maintain another website. Plus, forums are easy to use and navigate.
The Book Exchange is open to everyone. This is the perfect outlet for those of us that are bibliophiles that collect a lot of books. We get books from publishers, from authors, as gifts, and we buy them ourselves. If you have books that you've either never read or read once that you'll probably never read again, this is a perfect outlet to exchange those books with other readers who want to read them. In exchange you'll receive books that you want to read also. The Book Exchange could become an awesome resource to exchange highly coveted ARCs as well.
