** LOL. Before finding Bookcrossing, my DH told me I needed to stop spending so much money on books (meaning, I had to stop ordering so many books from the mail-order catalogues - Doubleday, etc). I agreed. We really didn't have the money for it, anyway. Then I joined Bookcrossing. Now my DH rolls his eyes at me and says, "you stopped buying books from the clubs, but you've just found another way to spend money on books!" LOL It's true, too! But, I also agree with you, Susan! I've read/been introduced to authors I'd never have tried if not for Bookcrossing, and I'm always, ALWAYS spreading the word! I've put up flyers about BXing in my local grocery store, and I TRIED to put one up in the library (they said 'no', for whatever reason. >:-/) I spend a ton on postage (Canadian is awful compared to US!) and on mailing packets and on printer ink (for stickers/labels), and things like that. One good thing, though, is that all the "impulse buys" I get from my library sales are now going to good homes instead of sitting here collecting dust! Usually, at those sales, I get about 15 books I *really* want, and 15 that I probably could've done without. :? Thank the Lord for Bookcrossing, is all I can say! ;) Jenn <>< http://books04.bookcrossing.com ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca ------------------------ Yahoo!
