I generally read fiction because I like stories. I especially like love stories. Lately however I have been bored when I read, so I tried switching it up. This is what I have read in the last couple weeks.
The Simple Dollar by Trent Hamm
What Wives Wish Their Husbands Knew About Sex by Ryan Howe, Richard Rupp, Stephen Simpson
Mountain Rain: A Biography of James O. Fraser by Eileen Fraser Crossman
Still to read...
Crazy Love by Francis Chan
Hadassah: One Night With the King by Tommy Tenney

To Do Today (or soon!)
I have a book review I have been meaning to write. I finished the book a month ago. I probably need to read it again now to refresh my memory.
I have another book I recieved several months ago. I was excited to read it, but have yet to finish it. It's boring.
I need to fufill my commitments.
It is my last night of swimming lessons for this session.
Laundry is NEVERending.
Granola needs to be made. I love homemade granola!
I hope to find some good deals at the grocery store.

Salty or Sweet?
You know how after you eat something salty, you want something sweet?
And after you eat something sweet, you really need something salty, right?
This is a dilemma. My solution: a handful of Dove chocolate with peanut butter and a bag of pepperoni.
Yes, I sat on the couch and read a book with both of these beside me. Wonderful. (And pathetic.)

More Free Books...
I really do love them!
So, here are some more ways to get free books.
My kids each get a book from Dolly Parton each month through her Imagination Library. This program is not available in all areas, but it is worth checking! If it is available in your area you can sign up your child if they are between birth and age 5. Then a books is sent to you each month. We have gotten a couple of repeats with the second child, but they switch them up frequently. (Thanks to Amy for reminding me about this!)
Review books for a publisher. Usually all you need is a blog, which are so easy to set up if you do not already have one. I review for several Christian publishers, but I would suspect secular publishers would have similar programs. Search their websites for 'book review' or 'media requests'.

Garage sales and thrift stores are not free, but they are inexpensive and have many undiscovered treasures. You can get a steal on a book that has barely been read.

Free Books
I like books. It's true. I am cheap. Also true. And books are expensive. I review books so I can can get them for free. However, there are other ways to get free books if you do not want to be obligated to review them.
Amazon routinely offers free books for Kindles. Classics, like Frankenstein, Pride and Prejudice, and Little Women are always free, but there are other books that come and go. The easiest way I have found to know what these are and not miss a good deal is www.ereaderiq.com You can click on the 'Free Kindle Books' tab at the top of the page and see what books are currently free! Amazon also has a list of the current top 100 free books.
You don't have a Kindle? Because they cost $139 and up. Yeah, me either. Don't worry. Amazon has free apps for your Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone, Blackberry, or Android. You download the app to your device and you can order books that are delivered to you wirelessly.
So easy and FREE!
