book swap anyone?

i'm a big fan of spring cleaning. not that we have spring here in the Philippines, but that's beside the point.

i periodically assess my stuff to see which ones i really want to keep, and which ones could probably find a better home. this is partly due to OCD, and all those makeover shows in cable tv. marie and i have been doing this for the longest time, and the only reason why we get to trade is because we're a size or two apart. she stays the same size, and i fluctuate. WALANG HIHIRIT. >:(

anyhow, i've accumulated several books along the years since i'm a bookworm like most of my friends. i've tried to sell them off in bulk, but the price apiece was utterly pathetic and it won't do justice to the books. i read this article about some Filipina who started a book swap group overseas to promote a coffee shop as well as create an avenue for social networking.

so i figured, why not start a book swap group of my own? or maybe, if there are exisiting book swap groups in the metro, maybe i could join too? the group could meet once a week, or maybe every other week. venue could be static or it could change from time to time.

this isn't just for those people i personally know. whoever's interested could also be a part of this group (if it actually pushes through). i think a group of 5 at a time would do, and maybe each person could bring 2 to 3 books which they'd want to swap.

please reply if interested :) then we could schedule a date, time and venue.
