By Deana (PBSDeana) – PaperBackSwap Team
That’s right, it’s our 7th birthday!
We’ve passed some great milestones in the last year including 5 million books posted, the 10 millionth book mailed and received, donating over 32,000 books to schools & 17,500 books to the military. We’ve also swapped hundreds of thousands of books and added plenty of fantastic new features to make the Club even better. We’ve added new members, made new friends, found new authors we never would have tried, played games, laughed and shared and cried with each other, and learned so much along the way. We are delighted to see how the Club has grown and evolved in the past 7 years, and look forward to many more years reading together.
It’s no secret that all of our volunteers and members are what makes PBS the wonderful community it is today. In celebration of all of you that have made the last seven years so incredible, the PBS Team is turning the tables and giving YOU the birthday gifts! We are a group of readers, so of course there’s no better present than book credits!
To enter our Happy Birthday to Us Drawing, just respond to this post and tell us how long you’ve been a member of PBS. If you aren’t sure how long you’ve been a member, you can find it in “My Profile” under “My Account”. If you haven’t chosen a nickname or made a profile yet, now would be a great time. Simply go to “My Account”, choose “Settings” and click “Set Up a Profile”. You can also see the date you joined on each forum post you write.
We will draw 7 responses at random to receive 7 credits each! The contest will end on Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 7:00 pm. We will announce the 7 winners of 7 credits each on Wednesday, September 7, 2011. Do you see a pattern here?
Good luck, and go eat a piece of cake for us!

I’ve been happily swapping since 5/26/11, and looking forward to doing so for many years to come!
I’ve been a member for about 7 months now. Love the site.
I’ve been a member since 3-30-07, and love it so much! I have swapped so many wonderful books. I tell people all the time about the club, and will continue to do so. Love it, and plan to keep on “swapping”! Happy 7th Birthday!
I’ve been a member since January 18, 2010. I’ve gotten rid of a ton of old books and received some much-wanted books in return. Happy Birthday and here’s to many more!
I’ve been a member since 12/18/07. Seems like yesterday! Happy Birthday PBS!
I’ve been a member for only about 3 weeks (since Aug 16), but I’m already in love with the site.
Happy Birthday, and many more to come!
I have been a member since 1/20/2008. I have just shared the sight with an eight-year-old friend of mine (and his mom). He raided his parents’ bookshelves to get enough to join the club. LOL. The English teacher in me loves it when kids get excited about books!!!!! Thank you, Paperbackswap, and Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday! I have been a member since: 6/4/2010. I love the site and also enjoy B-O-B swaps. You have helped keep our book shelf full of great books that keep the whole family entertained. (Plus I am so happy that we can transfer credits for DVDs.) I think that our Library, Used Bookstore, and P.O. miss us. We are having too much fun without the “late fees”, you have more new releases, and the printable postage is great! I am afraid that this site has become an “everyday” addiction. Once again, Happy Birthday!
I have been swapping books here since 8-10-2006. It is the greatest site and I tell everyone I know who loves books!
I have been enjoying Paperbackswap.com since February 4 2011. I love this site. I have gotten several great history books that I have enjoyed and received the rest of JD Robbs books that i have not read yet. I am always reading the book bazaar to find great deals.
Woo Hoo! Happy Birthday PBS!!!!

By the way, I forgot to mention in my previous comment that I joined in July. 2011. Many more years!
My membership started on August 30, 2008. I am addicted to PBS and love sending and receiving books. Going to the second hand stores and garage sales to find books is my hobby. It is such fun to be able to share them with so many great people. Happy Birthday PBS.

I have been a swapping member at PBS since July of 2010 and wish I knew about you sooner.I’ve gotten lots of great books for the whole family here. Happy Birthday !!
I have been happily swapping since 6/2008 and love the club. I have received so many great books and found great new authors through your club. My kids also has received many books that they could not find at the local library through the club. Thank you so much . Happy birthday!!
I was introduced to the club by my sister, an avid reader and joined in August of 2009. This is the greatest idea swapping books with others that love to read.
