You create an account-for free. Then you create your ‘Wishlist’ of all books you would love to own/read; and then create your ‘Inventory’ of books you own but wouldn’t mind getting rid of. You earn a certain number of points for a certain number of books you list on your Inventory. You earn points every time you successfully send one of your books that another member has mooched. And you give points to the member you mooch from. You don’t HAVE to mooch a book from the member who has mooched from you unless they have a book you’d love to have. Theres forums and you can become friends with other members regardless of where they’re based (!), you can give ‘smooches’ to members and quite often, you get sent the loveliest notes or bookmarks from members you’ve mooched from; BookMooch recommends books you might like based on the kind of books you’ve mooched. Needless to say, I LOVE BookMooch. I became an active member in January of 2008 & in a space of 18 months I have mooched 157 books and away 72 books! The only cost involved is the postage you pay to send the book.
