We talk a lot about the hassles of Thanksgiving– all that cooking and dishwashing, needing to tolerate Aunt Edna who keeps asking why you don’t have a job/life partner/child yet, concocting ways to keep Uncle Fred from asking Cousin Billy about the truck incident again.

So after enduring all that, just one thing we here at BookSwim want to say. This has been a rough year for many, and we’re grateful our once-small company can now celebrate its third Thanksgiving with you.

You have a few days off from work. Enjoy it! Here are a few ideas.

How about some light reading?– You’ll have BookSwim books to cuddle up with– and, if you’re surfing online, check out the newly reopened Literary Life blog for a laugh or two.

Stretch your brain while having fun– Have you seen our newly released word game Well Versed? Learn how to play in less than a minute and see if your vocabulary will take you to the High Scores table! Visit: http://www.bookswim.com/games/wellversed.html

Duck the Black Friday craze and enjoy painless gift shopping– In case you haven’t heard, we’re making it easier than ever to pass on the convenience of book rental. Check out our Holiday Gift Cards page where you can give a $10 eGift Card absolutely free to everyone you know. Or, apply your $10 toward any eGift Card purchase– and receive a complimentary $50 Restaurant.com gift certificate free with a purchase of $50 or more!

Remember: life could be worse. We hope you enjoy your time away from work with your families. For the most important things, reading can wait!
