 Cheesy - that's my problem. ButI find the books I put up are usually gone in a trice. My wishlist books.. not easily found (or if they do turn up gne before I get the notice they are available) Still I'd rather my books found a good home than languished somewhere unread. =)

Cee - I can see why your books would disappear quickly romance / chick lit are hot topics. =) moving again.. your done with your masters so quickly?

 I have been on BookMooch for a couple of years or so and usually can list my books and send them off very quickly. I'm in the same boat as cheesy for finding ones, though.

I did find one yesterday that I've wanted for a long time. Actually, I found it 1 week ago but it was reserved for someone. That reservation expired yesterday and I was able to send the mooch request/reserve.
Today I got my answer: "sorry but I already promised it to someone"

:blink:

if it was sent as a reserved request, how can it be promised to someone else? :sigh:
:scream:

Exceptionally Obsessed

 When I list books on BookMooch or PaperbackSwap, I *tend* to list them both places. The books listed for trade at these sites are put into a plastic bag and set apart from the rest of my books so that I don't accidentally offer them in VBBs or swaps here at BookObsessed. They are still marked "available" on my BookCrossing bookshelf so if I get a request for one I can decide whether to direct the person to BM/PBS or work out a private trade.

Unfortunately, I seem to have mostly books that popular and not in high demand -- and the ones on my wishlist are more rare. Just my luck!

So many books, So little time!

 I list my books on both PBS and BookMooch, but the vast majority are requested through BookMooch. I am constantly shipping out books via BookMooch and occasionally through PBS.

I find that I like the wishlist feature for getting books via PBS because I know that I will get the books eventually no matter what. That is mostly what I use PBS for.

I find books to mooch more often on BookMooch but mostly I only mooch wishlist books, therefore I currently have in excess of 100 points on BookMooch. Someday I will get to use them. LOL
