This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to commentor #7: Mary512!
Do you love to read but do not love having to buy your books only to read them once? Are your shelves and nightstands falling over with stacks and stacks of books? Well, BookSwim has a solution.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
BookSwim is the first online book rental library service lending you paperbacks, hardcovers and now college textbooks Netflix®-style directly to your house, without the need to purchase! We stock all the latest bestsellers, new releases, and classics with free shipping both ways! Read your books as long as you want — no late fees! Even choose to purchase and keep the books you love!
MY REVIEW
I checked out their website and think they have a great thing going here. I’m a big Netflix fan and I love the idea of incorporating this system into the literary world. There are so many times I’ve bought a book on someone’s recommendation or a review I’ve read only to find that it just wasn’t for me. You can sell the book on Amazon.com or eBay but you probably won’t get the same price that you paid.
With BookSwim, you can make a list of books from their never-ending inventory and have them sent to you for free! Take your time reading them and when you’re done, just send them back. However, if you come across one that you absolutely love and must add to your library, you always have the option to buy.
They also offer gift cards for the book lover on your holiday shopping list. And better yet, for every gift card sold, BookSwim, in association with Eco-Libris, will plant a tree to offset the environmental impact of producing paper for books.
Memberships start at $9.95 per month and you may cancel at any time. No contracts. No commitments.
Reading just got a whole lot easier and affordable!

This sounds neat!! I’d definitely want to get The Help by Kathryn Stockett, because I can never get my hands on it at my local library, and Best Friends Forever by Jennifer Weiner and The Host by Stephenie Meyers for the same reason.
