Hey y'all fellow bookies! Have any of you tried any sort of book rental programs? I’m thinking of trying BookSwim – they have this 3 books per month plan that starts at $10. Has anyone here tried it? Out of all my research this is the site that sounds the best and has gotten the best reviews. TIA!! :up:

I've never heard of it. But I would be interested in finding out more about it. It definitely sounds like a worthwhile adventure.

Never tried it, but they are based right near me. My wife interviewed with them a while back. Sounds like a good idea. But I would MUCH rather see people support the local library. You can get any book at the library, even if they do not carry it. Just have them order it for you from another library!!

I work at my local library...there is talk of closing many smaller libraries, but they still have a good service to offer. Support your library!!!

I've tried Booksfree.com and wasn't very impressed with their selection. I agree with the last poster and say just use your library.

The library is always the best choice in my opinion.

I fully agree - support the real world of imaginary worlds, support the library.
