Paper Back Swap

I've talked about this website before on the family blog, but I've really found it useful lately and figured I'd mention it again.


This website is pretty awesome. You post the books you no longer need or read or use. People will request them. You ship the book to them using media mail (not very expensive.) You earn points for every book you ship. You "buy" books with your points. It's generally one point per book. Books on CD are 2 points.

They have EVERY kind of book you could think of. I even put some OLD college text books on there and they were requested within a couple days. I didn't think anyone would want them. You can't even get a few bucks back from selling them. But they were picked right up, and now I can get a book I want - for me, or chris, or the girls.

It's crazy easy and I love it. :) Just spreading the word. You should check it out!

We also love www.swapadvd.com! Same principle, but with MOVIES!

Google Chrome


Just wanted to say I downloaded Google Chrome after reading another blog about it all the pros associated with it.

Verdict so far... I LOVE IT. The screen is HUGE. And it's so easy to navigate, downloads are crazy fast, as are uploads, and it pulls up pages in an instant. This is the first time I've ever strayed from IE, and I think I might stay with Chrome.

If you haven't tried it yet, you should test it out. It'll make a believer out of you!
