Just joined BM, my name is Shardae (US: GA). I'm looking for some 1001 books,nothing in particular but hopefully one of the thicker books. Thanks!
I just added Black Dahlia to BM and PS if anyone is interested.
Posted a copy of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings to BM.
You could also try bookcrossing.com and go to the bookrings/bookray section of the forum. Many people list available 1001 books there and all you have to do to be able to read them is agree to be part of the bookring (book sent from one person to the other then ends up back with the originator of the ring) or bookray (book sent from one person to the other then the last person on the list gets to keep the book and do what they want with it). When you sign up you will be asked to state your postal preferences so that helps to keep the cost down. Generally people only offer up paperback books too so that makes it pretty cheap and convenient.I have found this a great way to read books which I find it hard to get on the 1001 list. It's also a great way to dispose of my used books to people who really want to read them.
Psoted I know why the cage bird sings and around the world in 80 days on paperbakcswap. My name is shardae
Just posted copy of Age of Innocence to BM.
I have The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams and Of Love and Shadows for Isabel Allende that I will be posting to PBS and BM. If interested let me know.
I'd love to get a copy of "Of Love and Shadows". Will you be posting it on bookmooch?

Yep, figures! Thanks anyway.
Looking for a 1001 books! If anyone is posting anything to bookmooch soon, I'd love to get a chance at any titles I don't already have! (Just a little encouragement to some of you to hurry up and finish your current titles!)
I still have The Colour waiting for you Judith....
Oh, oh, Laura, I still want it; but you are out of my country, aren't you? I only have 1 bookmooch point to trade right now. Let me know if you are in the U.S....in case I remembered incorrectly.
I should be finishing Remains of the Day tonight. If anyone is interested in it, let me know and I can reserve it for you on bookmooch
I'm not on Bookmooch, but I did recently add Cloudsplitter to my goodreads swap if anyone is interested. It's a chunky, so postage may be higher, but it's in good shape.
Dessa wrote: "I don't have anything up for grabs at the moment but I'm sure I will soon. I'm Dessa (USA,MN) on BM."I'd like to add you to my friends at bookmooch also, Dessa.
I just posted a copy of The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood in the Goodreads Bookswap if anyone's interested.
I have tons and tons of mystery and chick-lit books for swamps:)
I will swap on Bookmooch or PBS, Surfacing by Margaret Atwood.
Anyone posting anything new from the 1001 Lists on bookmooch soon? I have points!
I am planning to read Blanche et Marie by Per Olov Enquist, in French.
Laura wrote: "I am planning to read Blanche et Marie by Per Olov Enquist, in French."Alas, Laura, I can't read French. My high school course would never suffice for the challenge! Wish it could!

I wish you manage to get it pretty soon Judith.
This has been asked here before, but its been awhile...Has anyone used the goodreads bookswap feature?
I am looking for these books if anyone has them and wants to swap. Go Tell It On the Mountain by James Baldwin
Junkie by William Burroughs
Watt and The Unnamable by Samuel Beckett
I have a good trade edition of "Captain Corelli's Mandolin" that I'll post on bookmooch. Let me know if anyone here wants me to reserve it for them.I also have a rather beat up and yellowed copy of "Song of Solomon" posted there already. That one is mass market paperback size.
will be listing i, robot, the hours, ragtime and ethan frome on bm either tonight or tomorrow afternoon (rosebrok).
I am thinking of adding the following books to my inventory on BookMooch, but they don't seem to be very popular, so unless someone here wants them (they are all on the list), I'll just get rid of them some other way.Myra Breckinridge
The Mill on the Floss
The Scarlet Letter
Fathers and Sons
Fear of Flying
Kiss of the Spider Woman
A Boy's Own Story
The Last Temptation of Christ
I won't be adding the books right away, but when I do, I'll reserve them for you. My BookMooch ID is elise327.
(I also have a bunch of other list books, which I'll tell you about here before I post.)

I think I have three of the four of the Alexandria Quartet, of which Justine is one of them. It's somewhere in storage though, which means it'll take a while to find it.
Judith wrote: "Oh, oh, Laura, I still want it; but you are out of my country, aren't you? I only have 1 bookmooch point to trade right now. Let me know if you are in the U.S....in case I remembered incorrectly."The other method of attaining points (in addition to listing books) is to actually have a book mooched from you. That earns you one point. Also leaving feedback with your trader earns you .1 of a point, so the system is somewhat inflationary.

Excellent! You'll get first crack when I post them (probably sometime this month).

Hubert: I'd be interested in any of the books in the "Alexander Quartet" except "Justine" as I finally found a copy of that one. Let us know here when you post any of the others. please.
Elise - I would be interested in those as well when you are ready to list!
So would I Elise! I'm yrinsyde on BM. I've got some 1001's to add to BM shortly,

If no one else claims The Mill on the Floss & The Last Temptation of Christ, I would be interested in those two.

I just signed up for Paperback Swap as well, because out of the 600 books I have on my BookMooch wishlist, about 4 or 5 are available for mooching. So if you use PBS, friend me—my username is still elise327 (if I've already promised you a book through BM, I won't give it away to anyone else, don't worry).

I have a bunch of the books and am happy to send them your way when done with them, or could lend before reading. Check my bookshelf, but I have more, so if there is something particular you want, just ask.
Hey, there. I'm new to this website, but I noticed that you're looking for "Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit" (which is a great read, by the way). I have a copy if you'd be interested in swapping. :)
Elise, let me know if there is anything you're looking for. I sometimes have books I haven't put on the shelf yet. I might be looking to trade something for something.
I have Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood if anyone is interested in a swap. I can use PBS or Bookmooch.
I'd like it, please! Please reserve it for me if you can!thanks,
Judith (AZ)
