the_rckI just sent out about twenty BookMooch packages. I have another ten books in queue that I've delayed until the beginning of June. One moocher objected to the delay and informed me that she'll be canceling. I don't object to her canceling, but I will admit to being a little surprised that she feels so urgent about a three year old romance novel. Still, no problem for me. There are a bunch of other people who have it wishlisted, and no one else is giving it away right now.
I have another twenty or thirty books that I want to put up on BookMooch (probably a lot more than that once I look downstairs again). I'm delaying putting them up, though, in order to limit the number of packages I need to send all at once. Then again, if I post them all at once, maybe I'll increase the number of people asking for multiple books. I'd rather send two or more at once. It's cheaper.
There's one book I need to haul up from the basement to weigh. My guess is that it's a couple of pounds, and I have to decide whether or not I'm willing to send it to Australia. Knowing the weight would be a starting point both for my decision and for negotiating with the person who wants it. She says she's willing to wait, willing to mooch additional books or pay extra points if I ask it of her. I'm willing to send the book, in theory, but I don't want to go much over $3 per point I get.
I'm also feeling little hurry to get more BookMooch points right now as I have more than 100. Things that I want simply don't come up that often (though, when they do, there're often several all at once). Plus, I'm not reading very rapidly. Half the books I'm getting rid of right now are things I haven't read, things I got on BookMooch, thinking that I would reading them.
