Hello again, savvy savers! A new day, and a new way to save with today’s No-Spend Month Challenges! If a mug of soup, a cup of hot tea, and a great, new book sounds like your perfect night, than that makes two of us! If you are anything like me, than you are nothing short of a bibliophile! Well, you are in luck, as today’s challenge centers around being able to score free books.
How can be score free books?
- You can become a book reviewer, with one of several dozen online book reviewer programs.
- The best part is that you do not need to be a designated book blogger, to be able to review books.
- You simply need to have a love of the written word, a social media following, and a verifiable mailing address.
- Each blogger will need to apply for book reviews, and just wait for the reviews to come in.
- Keep in mind, you will need to keep reviews legal, by always disclosing your reviewer status.
- Beyond this, you will need to review books online, as well as reviewing on an online purchasing outlet, such as Goodreads, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble.
