I have two new (healthy) addictions. Discovery’s new channel, Planet Green, and Swaptree. Which actually plays into each other quite well because Swaptree promotes less consumer purchasing and therefore is the greener way to buy books. Thanks to “A Little Greener Every Day” for the heads up on Planet Green!

By the way, neither one is paying me to write this  just really like them.

On planet green I’ve been watching “Greensburg” a show about a small town that was completely destroyed by a montrous tornado and they are rebuilding green. I also like “Wasted” which makes me want to go pack up my family live on a commune to reduce our carbon foot print, which I’m sure is quite large.

As for Swaptree, don’t get me started. My husband couldn’t believe it when he found me camped out in front of the computer searching for more books for my want list at midnight. Normally I’m snoring like nobody’s business by nine (sometimes earlier) but that’s what happens when you have three kids.

Anyway, on Swaptree you list the books you want to trade and the ones you want and if yours matches someone elses you can set up a trade. All you pay is postage, which you can even print on Swaptree. I’ve already shipped one out and have two books to go out tomorrow which means three are headed to me. So exciting. I know, I’m a dork.

My son and I are waiting for one book to come up that we’ve both been eager to read. Still can’t believe I read the same books as my son.

Anyway, I need to go list more books now. I made a special trip to the basement to rummage through old boxes of books to trade.

Any suggestions on good books for my wish list?
