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 a member since 7/17/06 & agree with what Carrie J. (akalawolf) wrote above. It’s so cool to find a package with the paperback logo in the mailbox! I’ve sent and received over 500 books! Thanks for existing.
I’ve been a Member Since: 2/15/2009 and I’m so grateful I found this site! I just passed my “half century” book mailed/received. Reading new authors rather re-reading my old favorites I found new favorites! I also discovered that the Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov is not the end of the series! What a thrill!!!! That was worth the price of admission right there!!
Keep up the good work. Here’s to another 7, and another, and another, and ….

Happy birthday PBS!!!
I’ve been a member for 3 years and 2 months. I love it here!
I’ve been a member since 3/12/2007, and I’ve met the most incredible people on this site. No day is now complete without a visit to PBS!!
I’ve been a member since 8/19/2010 so it has been a little over a year.
I joined in December of ’05. I am a junkie, hoarder and lover of books, and although I did donate about half of my collection when I moved recently, it was my best loved favorites that were lost in the move. I am presently trying to replace them on this wonderful site! I love you guys! Happy birthday!
I have been a member for 2 years this month!!! This month is also my birthday!!! Yay!

I have been a member since jan 11 of this year and I love this place . Happy Birthday
Happy 7th Birthday. I have been a member of this terrific site since June of 2009. I am an advide reader and have enjoyed PaperBackSwap since I joined it. Thanks for the great site and keep up the good work!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY indeed to an excellent, commendable, fun, and incredibly innovative site & program!!! I joined only recently; approximately two weeks ago, but I am truly excited to be a part of this because of all the rewarding opportunities – and, of course, the books! I’ve been reading all my life ( a lot), and continue to read every chance I get. This is also a great way & affordable method to promote reading to others as well as future generations. I truly believe if more people would pick up a good book, there would be much less drama & gossip in the world because getting into good literature is always better than sticking noses in other people’s business.
Ooh…I love this! I haven’t been a member long..only since 2009. This year though, I have became more active on the site. Thank you for this giveaway and being here for 7 years! 🙂
I’ve been a member since May 13, 2009. Thanks so much for the chance to win book swap credits!
