Free books. Does anything on earth rival free reads? Perhaps free beer. Maybe free pizza. But that's it, as far as I'm concerned. It's been a slippery slope. Way back in 2005, Amazon.com announced a new program called "Prime." It was a simple proposition: pay $79 a year for the annual membership, and you'd get free two-day shipping on most of my orders. Now, several years later, Prime comes with a bunch of free content, including books. Of course, that's merely one source of free books. One of the best things about Amazon's digital bookstore is that many of its most popular books are offered completely free of charge during brief promotional periods. If you manage to find and download a book while it's offered free, it's yours to keep-forever. It's a great way to sample a new genre, or perhaps discover an author you hadn't noticed before. Hundreds of websites have popped up across the Internet to highlight free and discount Kindle books. Sometimes it seems like we're being overrun by free content. But really, just some of it is worth bothering about. This book will help you figure out what's worth your time.

The #BookSpinBingo fates always know, don‘t they 😆 I got a June book for my June #BookSpin this time. I am really going to try and obliterate all the free spaces this month. I also want to work on creating a reading space in my apartment this month. I haven‘t really done that since I moved here last June and that needs to change. 🛋️📚🕯️

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Looks fabulous!!! 11mo

I have officially reached the saturation point. I have more books than will fit on my bookshelves (and the myriad other places that I have now designated as bookshelves regardless of their original purpose) and I have no more room in my house for additional shelving. 😭😭 So, I‘m culling. Pictures are a stack of ARCs I‘d like to rehome. Please let me know if you are interested in any of them and I will send to anyone with a US address.

DGRachel First come first serve, of course, and you don‘t need to want all of them, but you can pick as many as you want. I just need to get them out of my house and as ARCs they can‘t go to the used bookstore because you‘re not supposed to sell them. 3y
vivastory I'd love City of Light, City of Poison & Kingdom of Copper. 3y
DGRachel @vivastory Send me your address - my email is ucfdg97@gmail.com and I‘ll get them out to you in the next week or two. ☺️ 3y

vivastory Done. Thanks! 🙂 3y
Megabooks Oh no! I‘m running into the space problem as well. I donated 4 bags of books to the library sale. 3y
DGRachel @Megabooks I have a medium staples moving box that I filled today and a large tote bag that I filled pre-COVID with the intent of taking it to the used bookstore. I‘m going to donate them all, but I just don‘t know what else to do with the ARCs that I either have finished copies of or didn‘t enjoy and don‘t want to keep. 😔 3y

Now, what to use it on? That is the question....
