With the conversion of
swap.com to a book
reselling site ("valet service"?), I have defaulted back to selling my secondhand books on Amazon. This is not as great --- the books get exchanged into money, and some of the money is tithed away; I prefer books getting
swapped into other books. Plus there is no "media mail" in this foreign country where I live, so shipping inevitably eats up my supposed profit.
That said, I do have a lot of books. Which I am trying to whittle down to my core library of essentials. I'm one surplus book closer to this goal. Huzzah much-neglected

Suggestions for other ways to find new homes for my books are welcome.
This post's theme word is awumbuk, "the feeling of heaviness and sorrow you feel after your guests have departed."
Selling or trading books leaves me no awumbuk aftertaste, although recycling or trashing them would.
