Bookworms can read as many books as they like for free just by joining the local library. But nabbing the latest best seller could take a while.
Amber Lawson reads between 15 and 20 books per month and joined Bookswim.com after realizing she was spending $125. every month in new and used book stores.
Now she’s down to $30 per month using BookSwim.com. “You can get as many books as you want for one set price and they send me all the books I want,” she said. Prices at bookswim.com start at 9.95 per month. Bookswim.com has different plans depending on how many books per month you want to read.
The books are mailed to subscribers along with a postage paid return label. “I send back the books I’ve read and they send me the next ones on my list,” said Lawson.
Lawson said she also has the option of purchasing a book she wants to add to her collection rather than returning it.
