Oh that’s a very interesting concept, thanks for sharing!

I do have to pay the postage (use “media mail” for the cheapest rates) to send a book to another member, so in essence you ARE paying to read books through this site, but it basically boils down to about $3 each. It’s not just paperbacks either – hardcover and audio CDs are available too, as well as large print

I have been a member on this site for a few years now and just love it. It is free to join which fits my frugal budget.

I wanted to reach out to you and suggest another website! Definitely check out owleyes.org – we’re a free e-library with hundreds of books, expert annotations, and classroom support. We’re browser based, so we work on any device (rather than being an app). Really handy for phone-addicted people like myself – I’m 3/4 of the way through Pride & Prejudice already!

Thanks for the heads up Michy. I’ll have to give that website a look!

The site is like an online library, but on the page, librarything.com/more/freebooks, there are hundreds of paperback books, eBooks, and audiobooks for free, and won in simplegiveaways! There’s no limit to the amount of books you request either.

Paperback shipping is paid by the seller, and all you have to do in exchange is give a review on Amazon, or anywhere else.

On the page, there are two headings, one for Early Reviewers and one for Member Giveaways. Early Reviewers is a monthly cycle of giveaways, whereas Member Giveaways is an informal way of members sending out unneeded or unwanted books to those who would like to receive it.

I can confirm that all the giveaways are real, given that I’ve received multiple paperbacks, and quite a few eBooks. I personally prefer to hold the thick pages in my hand, rather view a book digitally, and I have been shipped books where the authors themselves have signed it and packaged it!
I even have had a Holocaust survivor sign, and personally write out the mailing address. One author had his own stamp, where his profile picture was an adorable cat!

Thank you for reading this extremely long comment and I hope you benefit from this!

Thanks for the tips, Diane! I’ve seen some of the giveaways on Goodreads but I hadn’t heard about Freebooksy! I’ll have to take a look.

Prices are from $.25-$’s
I have found great books, both hard back and paperback books for really cheap prices. ‘
I have found many history/military/WWII books for my husband, plus fiction/cooking/health books for myself. Have also bought kids’ books for relatives and friends’ children.
When finished with my books, they go to friends to pass on and on.
