Book Lovers Take Note!

I enjoy watching a good movie now and then but I just don’t have the patience to do it that often. I have every intention of sitting down and watching the new DVD that I pick up for the kids but somehow, I never get around to it.

Now books are another matter Whether it’s a new novel that catches my eye at Wal-Mart, something I read about in one of my many magazines or just an impulse buy at Borders or Waldenbooks, I can hardly wait to get home to start reading. And usually, within a day or two, I’ve finished the book and wish I could exchange it for another.

I’d bet that there are plenty of others out there who are the same as I am. We’re the ones who love libraries. And there are surely those who, like me, just don’t get to the library as often as we’d like. Sometimes it’s because of the hours or maybe transportation but getting to the library just seems like such a chore at times.

I’ve found a new online service, though, that is made for people like me. Very similar to the popular Netflix for movies, Booksfree allows subscribers to order books, read them, and send them back. You can keep the books as long as you want and shipping both ways is free!

Booksfree.com offers over 88,000 titles from classics to the newest best sellers. Whether you’re looking for fiction or non-fiction, paperback or audiobooks, you’ll find them at Booksfree.com.

If you’re a stay-at-home mom or a 9-5er who can’t get to the library, this service is perfect for you. Monthly membership fees are as low as $8.49 per month and you can cancel at any time. This is just so affordable and so convenient! There are even a number of selections for young readers so I can choose some for my kids as well. Sure makes monthly book reports easier!

Now, excuse me while I make my list of books I’m going to read over the summer.

As a founder of BookSwim.com, and online book rental library club similar to Netflix, I wanted to announce our limited launch of our Alpha service to a few select individuals. We will have paperbacks and hardcovers delivered to your door with no shipping or late fees. Unlimited rentals per month.
