This is true. We are pretty awesome!

[Mary]

[Cindy]

Mary-Sign up at the site paperbackswap.com and start posting books that you no longer want. You can come back here and post your username or look through this discussion and send a buddy request to chicks. Have fun!

[Meg]

Can you all add me as a buddy, my buddy button is not working

[Cindy]

Meg you are my buddy and I sent you a note!

[Jamie]

I want to start doing the PBS (and registered today) but I am not quite sure I understand it. Do I have to have 10 books listed AND sent out before I can request a book? Does it matter what type of book? I don't have any books listed yet but I will try to get to it tonight. And I don't know how to add buddies. My username on there is jamiesue2 if anyone finds me!

[Cindy]

Hi JamieSue, If I remember correctly you only have to list 10 books and then you get 2 points. Right after I listed my first books, several were requested so be prepared! I just sent you an invite (cyndil62).

Shelby, I just added you as a buddy on PBS. I thought you were already my buddy....Anyway, I have like three of your wish list books on my shelf that I still need to read. Will post them for you when I finish them!

[Shelby *trains flying monkeys*]

Oh great! Thanks Cindy!

[Rose]

Thanks Cindy for posting to this thread. I couldn't find it and I wanted to add COL buddies to my list! :)

[Rose]

Hey Miss Tera, can you edit the title of this thread to PaperbackSwap?
(So we don't think it's for the Public Broadcasting Channel :)

[Vicki]

Rose, I added you to my buddy list, in case you were wondering who I was:)

[Rose]

Vicki, glad to have a chick buddy on the Swap! :)

[SarahSaysRead]

I just joined PBS like a week ago, but I'm loving it!

I have no idea what my display name is, but my email is sarahmay227@gmail.com if anyone wants to add me. I sent out some buddy list invites already.

[Cindy]

Sarah, I just added you as a buddy! I think the invite I got must've been from you. Great!!

[Holli]

I'll do that for ya Rose!! And thanks for the invites everyone.. my account is on hold right now until we move to our house and I have access to my books I want to swap.

[Rose]

Thanks for doing your magic, Holli!

[Angela]

Hi all - I just added most of you as my buddies over on pbs. I will keep adding until I get everyone, just not all today.

[Cindy]

To my buddies on PBS, I finally splurged and got the Deliverance Dane book at Target this evening. I have it on my PBS Wishlist and am hesitant to remove it because I am finally at Number 34 of 635 wishing for this book. Not sure how long it will be before I am actually offered the book, but do any of my buddies want it when it becomes available??

[Holli]

i would love it :-) go figure right? i swear u and i are in total sync with books Cindy!

[Cindy]

Holli, I will let you know when it becomes available. I think that I can just enter your address for the person to ship it to.

[Holli]

Wonderful!! Thank you so much!

[Sheila , Supporting Chick]

Okay PBS buddies. I will admit I am pathetic. I have been entering blog contests to try to win Michelle Moran's new book Cleopatra's Daughter (in fact I have entered 20 separate giveaways for this book. LOL) Well this morning I was a second place winner, and will be receiving not Cleopatra, but instead her book The Heretic Queen. I am excited to win, but wasn't worried much about getting this book because I am #1 on PBS for the paperback version of this. So my question is...would anyone like my PBS copy of The Heretic Queen when it comes available since I don't need it now? The Heretic Queen is the sequal to Nefertiti, which we read here on Chicks a few months back.

[Cathie]

This sounds like a great site. I also heard about it on facebook. Think I will join too. Hard to find some of the books i want at the library.

[Monica]

Hi All!
I just joined up as well! I love it!!!

Sheila, I have The Heretic Queen on my PBS wishlist (I think), so I'd be very excited if you wouldn't mind sending it to me! Just let me know when you're about to post it by PMing me, pretty please :o)

[Sheila , Supporting Chick]

Sarah, I am going to keep the copy of The Heretic Queen that I won, and am passing on the wishlist copy that could be available any time (since I am now #1 one the wishlist at PBS for the paperback copy). So if you want to private message me your mailing address, I'll just have PBS ship The Heretic Queen to you when it comes available (since it allows you to enter an alternate address to ship to).

[Tera, First Chick]

bumping this for those interested in PBS

[Rebecca]

I am intrested. What info is needed? I didn't know about this until recently. I thought bookswap was the same thing it appears it is not? Thanks Tera for the message and for bumping the thread up for us. :)

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Here is the link to the first help page at paperbackswap.

[Rebecca]

Thank you Elizabeth. I put your name in for the referral so hopefully you get the credit. Thanks. I was able to join. Seems like a nice set up.

[Cindy]

Rebecca! I know you will really enjoy Paperback Swap! It is a great site and I have gotten several good books. Right after you join, be prepared to get several requests for your books...then it slows down. I have a lot more books to read on my bookshelf because of this site and GoodReads!

[Rebecca]

Thank you for all your help. As i fumbled through it last night setting my account up I wondered if I should try to keep PBS and goodreads bookswap. There are things I like about both of them. So I will.

[Cindy]

Great Brenda! What is your nickname? Mine is cyndil62....
It says the domain address is http://cyndil62.paperbackswap.com

[Sheila , Supporting Chick]

Hi Brenda, I sent you a Buddy request on PBS too.
I am http://sheila09.paperbackswap.com/

[Sheila , Supporting Chick]

On the pbs website on the "my account" tab there should be a spot to click that says "buddy list". That will show you all your buddies. One nice thing about the buddy list is then you can browse your buddies bookshelves, and if you see something you want you can order directly from them (instead of buying it from a stranger). And you can look at your buddies wishlists too, and if you see that one of your friends has a book listed that you have, you can send it directly to them (instead of sending it to some anonymous person on pbs who might also be wishing for it).

[Holli]

I sent you a buddy request too Brenda!

[Rebecca]

I am rdrn2009 I am thrilled to be getting rid of books I dont' want to shelf or read. :)

I did too Teri. I am glad someone set me straight and was thrilled to find the site. :)

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

I finally "get" how to add buddies. I am ESRichardson and would welcome buddies.

[Sheila , Supporting Chick]

Elizabeth and Rebecca, I just sent both of you buddy requests on Paperback swap.

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Thanks, Sheila (and Holli)!
