Anyone still here?

I started on RISI a couple of months ago and first came to LT through it. Anyone else here still using RISI? Have you got any good books through there lately?

I'm on RiSi (svh_mad), I haven't done too many swaps recently, but I'm on the forums a lot!

Hi Elkiedee! I've recently returned to RISI after a break of about six months and am loving it all over again. I've just finished Solace of the Road a YA swap which I hadn't heard of before and really enjoyed it.

Is your username elkiedee on RISI too? I am still Soupdragon!

I still use RISI, along with other book swapping sites.

Unfortunately, none of the books I want to read have shown up on there in the last 12 months.

I'm still using RISI, though most of the time I simply use it passively: I add books I've read and don't want to keep and wait for people to request them.

Yes, I use the same username in most places, Soupdragon.

I've had a flurry of activity on RISI this week after using it passively as described by Smigs for a few weeks. I've had lots of rejections but also agreed 8 swaps.

Does RISI works outside UK?

There was a group of RISI that covered Europe. Whether or not it's still running I don't know. They tried to run it as a Yahoo Group, but it was difficult to keep track of books.

Otherwise, try sites like Paperbackswap or Bookmooch.
