Found Not Lost

I found this list and thought it worthy to note here for future reference and to share with you. I think you will find many of these sources valuable too. With all the free ebooks online, I still enjoy having a good ol’ bound paper book in hand while sitting under the tree in our backyard that’s why I have been taking full advantage of my membership in The Paperback Swap. I now have several books lined up for reading and that is strangely comforting, like having something to look forward to. I’ve listed quite a few books from our collection and sometimes I end up wishing for barcode scanners just to ease the job of listing them, but for now I simply list them on paper then take my list to the computer and enter them in the Paperback Swap database.
