Here are a few less expensive ways to get the books you love or need to read for book club... (from Family Circle mag)
www.booksfree.com $11/month lets you borrow two paperbacks at a time. Shipping is free.
www.americasbookshelf.com A $12 annual fee buys you a membership to this swapping club and covers postage. You pay $3.50 for each book you borrow, and you lend your books to others as well.
www.bookmooch.com When you mail someone a book (you pay for shipping) you earn points, which you can redeem to get your own book.
www.betterworldbooks.com Purchase gently used paperbacks and hardcovers donated by libraries, or sell your own. Proceeds help promote global literacy.
AND SURE TO BE MICHELE'S FAVORITE...
www.bookcrossing.com Recycle old books by leaving them around town for other people to find; then register their locations on the site. Or you can discover a few new reads of your own.
Or of course you can just get them from the library!

I just started using www.paperbackswap.com, which runs like bookmooch--no membership fees or anything, you just pay to ship the books others request from you.
I have several books I was going to post on paperbackswap, but I'd be happy to bring them to book club and give all of you first dibs on swapping with me! :)
That's a good idea...maybe we should do a book swap. I have a couple of boxes of books I was going to try to sell to frugal muse, but I'd be more than happy to swap them with you ladies!
