I recently joined PaperBack Swap ("PBS"). If you don't know what that is, I strongly urge you to click here and check it out. Basically, for the low cost of postage, you can trade books (and audio books) with other readers. I decided to give it a shot as a way to keep myself in audio books because I have become absolutely addicted to them for my daily commute. Now I feel slightly addicted to PBS!

Wow, you got a lot of great looking audiobooks!
I have had The First Princess of Wales on my shelf for the longest time! Maybe your review will inspire me to finally get it down and read it!!
I wish PBS worked for Canadians (postage is too high so it's not worth it). But wow, what a great lot of books you got this week! There are several I want to read...
Lovely books this week :)
I particularly like The First Princess of Wales as I'm always looking for good historical fiction, and the Louise Penny book as I have heard such great things about that series.
Enjoy your reading!
Great additions. Hope they satisfy your mind.
The First Princess of Wales looks really good. After reading The Brothers of Gwynnedd Quartet by Edith Pargeter, I am very interested in books that use Wales as a backdrop.
Great books. I have my eye on "Still Life" by Louise Penny. Right now I'm reading her latest one called "Bury Your Dead."
Welcome to PBS. I've been a member since the beginning and enjoy it. There's also a group of us on PBS who swap tea monthly. If you like tea, check it out in the Games section.

I wish PBS was available in Canada. Is there somebody out there who would be interested in starting a Canadian chapter?
I'm on PBS, but haven't really used it; the idea of going to the post office and paying to ship someone's book to them really doesn't appeal :). I do Goodreads swap, though, since I only pay for the postage of books that I request (I like that idea just fine). I must admit to being totally addicted THERE, until the piles began teetering, and I said to myself, "You have to stop! Get the piles down to a manageable level, THEN buy or swap some more!" I have Middlesex (the book, not the audio) in my challenge pile, but I don't think I'm going to get to it in time (there's always hope!) You got a great bunch of books, though! Enjoy!
