It’s Contest Time! Free BookMooch Credits!

It is Bloggy Giveaway Time again already! If you are here for the giveaway - welcome! Please take a peek around my blog. I’m a conservative, born-again Christian, wife and mother of 3 so far. Here on my blog you’ll find a lot of book reviews - mainly of interest to Christians, homeschoolers and children, parenting insights, cute pictures of my children etc. I also host a giveaway here at least once a month, I’d host weekly if I had prize sponsors.  Contact me - jennifer at quiverfullfamily dot com if you’d like to sponsor a giveaway here.  I’d love to meet you, so feel free to leave me a comment as you browse.

Now for the giveaway!

I am giving away 4 free BookMooch credits! With 4 credits you can request 4 used books of your choice to be sent to you by mail for free domestically, or 2 used books internationally! The BookMooch database has many, many books to choose from. My inventory is here if you’d like to take a peek!

So - what is BookMooch, and how does it work? Members add books to their inventories that they are willing to send to others (each book added earns 0.1 points). Members with points can then request books that are inventoried and available (1 point per book domestically, 2 points per book internationally). The member who is ‘mooched’ from receives 1 point domestically and 3 points internationally (BM throws in an extra point to cover shipping). The member with the requested book sends it in the mail, no money every exchanges hands. When the requesting member receives the book they mark it received (0.1 points for this), and leaves feedback. Voila! Book trading by mail!

I have received 373 books, and sent out 163 - yes I am a book, and BookMooch addict! And remember - BookMooch is an international book trading service! Many trading sites are country specific, so this is a bonus! Members can choose to send within their own country only, internationally, or ‘ask first’ which means they are contacted by international members and asked if they will send specific books internationally. There’s much more to learn - wishlists, deals, charities etc. but you’ll need to join up to learn about all of the features.

I will transfer the BookMooch points into your BookMooch account after you win. No need to sign up for an account in advance if you don’t already have one, but this is such a fun service that you may feel compelled to join! Note: I don’t receive any incentives or monetary reward if you sign up, I’m just a happy user!

CONTEST RULES:

This contest is open to everyone worldwide with an email address. Winner will be contacted by email, so be certain to include a valid email with your entry (it will not be publicly displayed).

To enter visit BookMooch and use the search function to see if any titles you’d like to read are available. Leave a comment on this post with a book title that you would like to spend your free BookMooch points on if you are the winner.

To earn extra entries (one extra entry per choice, leave an additional comment for each additional entry earned):

1. Subscribe by email to my blog updates. Sign up box is in the left hand sidebar.

The contest will be closing Friday, August 1st at Midnight MST. A winner will be randomly chosen by one of my daughters on Saturday.

    I’ve been meaning to get my books on Book Mooch for awhile now; maybe this will be my motivation (time permitting anyway…). One that I’d like to mooch (and that had one copy available at least at the time of this post) is: A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian by Marina Lewycka. Thanks for holding the contest!

  12. Colleen

    July 29th, 2008 at 12:29 am

    The only book I can think of that I’ve been meaning to read is Trace Adkins’ A Personal Stand, but they don’t have a copy right now. Meanwhile, my mind is consumed by being pregnant, and thankfully, there are lots of choices in that department. Thanks for the giveaway! Stop by our blog for a chance to win a Country Home magazine subscription.

    Hi there! I’m one of them happy BookMoochers, my BM ID is dova113 and you may find me here: http://www.bookmooch.com/m/bio/dova113.

    There are SO many books on BookMooch to choose from… but right now I’m trying to get books off my wishlist, so as all my mooches are international, I’ll probably mooch the two Star Trek books (’Dark Passions’ Books 1&2 by Susan Wright) that have been sitting there forever, unless something new pops up.

    I’m a member of several other international book-swapping sites (see my BM bio, if you’re interested), but none of them compares to BookMooch in the least. If you’re just like me a person from a non-English speaking country where books in foreign languages are almost unavailable and very expensive, then Bookmooch is just the right thing for you, trust me.

  18. Aga

    July 29th, 2008 at 8:05 am

    Hm… I think I gave you my desired books, but you don’t have my BM ID and address ;)

    So, I’m Aga (agatatera) and my address is agatatera@yahoo.co.uk. And I’m the same person as the one who write the first 2 comments ;)

    There are SO many books on Bookmooch I want, that it’s quite hard to choose, but as I try to mooch only books from my wishlist right now, I think I’ll be mooching the ‘Star Trek: Dark Passions’ Books 1&2 by Susan Wright (all my mooches are international), unless something else pops up.

    As I’m from a small non-English speaking country, where books in foreign languages are quite rare and expensive, BookMooch is my dream come true.

    I would pick a HP Lovecraft book for DH - there’s a couple he’s had his eye on, so one of them (if I win, and give him this, he won’t say anything to the pile of books I’ll bring home from the next half price sale on books at our local St Vincent’s thrift store! ;)

    I use several trading sites but bookmooch is my absolute favourite. I have received hundreds of books that I have been looking for a very long time. Almost everyday I have a new book come avaible on my wishlist so right now I am in need of points very badly, especially because a lot of my wishlist items are imports.

    Sorry that I could not narrow it down to just to books!
