5 Cheap Ways to Read



I love reading! I have spend way too much money on books. A while back, we were struggling a bit so buying books was put to a pause. Here is how I read for free!

Library

My library lets you borrow e-books. I downloaded Libby...entered my library card info and was able to borrow or put some books on hold all on the app. 

NetGalley / BookSirens / LibraryThings

NetGalley has a huge library of books, mostly ARCs. Usually you request a book and you will either get approved or denied by the publisher. BUT they even have a read now section, that doesn't require approval. Make sure to leave a review for each book you borrow, even if you didn't like it! BookSirens has a nice library of ARCs as well. Remember to leave reviews! 

Goodreads

Goodreads Giveaways! I have won several book with Goodreads! 

Amazon

Amazon sometimes has $0.99 books! You have to be quick though. Deals usually last one day. You will also see some deals for $5 or less! 

Thriftbooks

This is one of my favorite websites. $3.99 and up for used books. I am sure you can try a local thrift shop too.

With the flexibility to skip months and customize each box, BOTM makes it easy to discover new reads, especially popular fiction and thrillers.
