Preloved books - Real Mum story on MoM

17 Comments

I have been lucky enough to win books here on Mouths of Mums & have enjoyed them, I share them with family & friends & I asked them to write a few words how they enjoyed the book on the inside cover including name & phone no. Once they are returned I give them to my Mum’s church group to sell at their fete. It’s rewarding that so much joy is shared with others & I get the occasional phone call from unknown people that have read them too!

I love books too, normally I will donate them to the library once I finished reading or exchange them at work.

What a great way to recycle your books and make new friends!

That’s a lovely idea and I may try it.
I’ve built my little library up with pre loved books, as the cost of a new one is often out of reach for us. I know some say it’s cheaper to invest in a kindle and download or whatnot but I can’t immerse myself in a screen as I can with the rustle of paper and the weight of a book.

I love sharing books too. I just hope I get them back, as more often I don’t and I hate to ask!

A nice idea, I’ve heard of people reading books and writing a note in it with the place read and then leaving them in airport lounges. Then someone picks it up and takes to read and it’s cool to see where the book travels to.

  That sounds great as well. Could only image so of the far of destinations one book could reach

What an absolutely awesome idea! So wonderful that you share your books but it would also be wonderful to read what others thought and then share that with others yet again. Beautiful

Good on you! I love passing on books too; better than them sitting on shelves and gathering dust as books love to be read!
