BorrowMe for Book Clubs
I was working away the other day and I began looking around our living room for some inspiration, when my eyes fell upon our book-shelf. I forgot about what I was doing and stared at all the books lining the shelf from top to bottom, purchased, read and filed. Now they sit there, collecting dust, their stories yearning for another mind to absorb their fantasy, fiction and reality. They seemed so lonely, so unappreciated, so… dusty.
It got me to thinking about how many other people had similar shelves in their houses, and how many thousands of books were out there, just waiting to be read. Then I remembered that people tend to join Book clubs! So I thought, why couldn’t they use BorrowMe.com for their group?
They can, very easily! Think about it. If you have 5 avid readers, each with 20 books listed, that’s 100 books to go through (80 not counting your own!), now think about the avid readers you know who only have 20 books. Most people who like to read have 50-100 books on their shelf EASILY, if not more. I had one friend who had 3 full bookshelves in their living room, plus 15-20 boxes in their basement.
Imagine the opportunities to read that many books, without having to shell out $10, $30, $100 to read it! You can fulfill your minds need and craving for knowledge, at a fraction of the cost (If any!). Here are a few examples of the different types of books you might have on your shelf that would be of interest to others:
- How To Books
- Horror Fiction
- Recipe Books
- True Crime
- Photography
- Historical Accounts
- Romantic Novels
- Childrens Books
- Autobiographies
There are so many different types of books out there for every kind of reader, it’s time we started opening our bookshelves to others and see what else is out there for our imaginations!

Vertical Farms, Coming To A City Near You?
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
I remember back to the days of my childhood. We used to drive out to Grandpa’s farm every weekend to get fresh farm eggs and have Sunday dinner with the family (Dysfunctional family stories will be reserved for the psychiatrist). It was a good 30-45 minute commute depending on traffic (Read: if we ended up More >
When DIY Isn’t Worth It
about 1 year ago - No comments
Growing up, we weren’t rich by any means, but we weren’t poor either… I guess we could have been considered lower middle class. Anyway, to save money, my mom pinched pennies (No Name Brand food, etc.) and my dad did stuff around the house. His thinking was “Why should I pay somebody else to do More >
BorrowMe for Scouting
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
Since it’s inception in 1916, the Cub Scouting movement has taken millions of young boys through the skills of knotting, the togetherness of camping and the general rituals of growing up. They learn first aid, how to tie knots and go hiking with their packs, and there are generally multiple packs or groups within a More >
How Much Could We Save?
about 1 year ago - No comments
I find it funny, ironic even, that I hear so much on the radio (I don’t have cable) about this Government or that politician whining about how in debt the City/Province/State/Country is in, and how there will be cuts to this, that and the other thing; I have even heard about politicians accepting *GASP* a More >

BorrowMe for Freecycle Users

The ideals behind the Freecycle Network are noble and geared towards helping the planet. They have thousands of groups with millions of members across the globe, but they have been facing the loss of members and groups left right and center (Most notably in the UK where Freegle has sprung up in the upheaval). Many More >
Success Story #42 – Pickup Truck
about 2 years ago - No comments
We have all been there. We’re forced to move, or need to pick up a large item, but we just can’t pack it into the Kia no matter which way we bend, push or fold. Most people call a friend who has a truck and get it dealt with Tout de suite (Look at me More >
BorrowMe for Offices
about 2 years ago - No comments
We spend 8 hours or more a day with our co-workers, yet many of us have little to no interaction with each other outside of the throws of work. It would be nice if we could get to know our co-workers a bit more, and save some money in the process. I’m not saying we More >
BorrowMe for Condo/Apartment Complexes

We nod slightly as we pass in the halls, wave a quick acknowledgment from across the lobby or parking lot, but that’s the extent of interaction most people have with their neighbors. One definition for neighbor is “a person who shows kindliness or helpfulness toward his or her fellow humans“, yet we seem to have More >
