I love cash gifting, but I also love books! I have more than I can count and am constantly borrowing from our library via their inter-library loan system.

Last week I found a website called Swap Tree and was super excited so I tweeted about it, and was planning to list a bunch of books there to trade. Well, today I logged on, only to find that I can’t bear to part with any of my books! Each one I picked up I thought to myself, “I might need this one someday” “I might want to read this again” “Oh, I can’t possibly swap this one!” and on, and on…

I guess I’ll have to go up to the attic and look at what I have up there. I must have some books somewhere that I am willing to let go. Heaven knows my husband would be thrilled. Mostly if we ever move again because, as you know, books are heavy….

I mostly read non-fiction but last month learned about the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. Before that I had just bought “The Lost Symbol” by Dan Brown which I thought I would jump right into when I got it, but then I started  “Outlander” and found that couldn’t put it down! I bought the second one in the series, “Dragonfly in Amber,” along with the next two, from Alibris.  They are still in transit, so I’m also borrowing it from our library so I can have it for this weekend. Any Gabaldon fans out there?

Meanwhile, my update on my cash gifting is that I have my domain name, and I have been assured that my site is in the co-op marketing rotation. By next week the tracking will be in place so I can see how many leads I’m getting and from where.

Warmest,
Tracy
