Try as I might, I almost didn’t get this post out tonight. Oh, hey, that even rhymed. But really though, this little dog of mine was driving me absolutely up a wall. Every time I sat down and started typing, he would come over, climb all over me, bark in my face, run around, and throw his ball at me or drop it on my laptop. I imagine this must be what it is like to have children.

I finally shut him up by filling up his treat ball with Smooches (yes, that’s really what they’re called) and he’s now busily rolling it around and eating. Fingers crossed he falls over and passes out soon.

Anyways, what I’m actually supposed to be writing about is BOOKS! Yes, yes, I know, some of you aren’t the biggest fans of my book posts, but I think this one you can get behind. Mostly because there are more books out there than just fiction, YA, and chick lit. Things like cookbooks, memoirs, biographies, graphic novels, business books, self-help books… the list could go on and on forever. And because I know everyone reads one type of book or another, I thought you might enjoy hearing about how I get books for FREE. Yes, free.

Now a couple of caveats before I dive in – these services cater towards those who leave reviews, mostly book bloggers. While I may blog, this is definitely not a book blog and I rarely leave reviews anywhere besides here because… why bother? I just don’t have the time. Regardless, I still manage to snag some good ones like Veronica Mars, Michelle Phan’s Makeup, and The Rosie Effect, which means you can too. And here’s how I do it.
