Last night I was checking out bookswim, which I think is a fabulous idea and was super psyched to try it out, especially when I saw that they were servicing my area! That never happens. Then I saw the monthly fee ($19.95 for 3 books a month plus $4.99 S&H) and I'm not sure if it's worth it...
Pros for joining
- a lot of books I want to read aren't available at the library and are available here
- I buy a lot of books for book groups that I don't really want to hang on to
- I can easily browse for new books
- I can start a queue of interesting books I hear about but aren't quite ready to read
- I'd read more
- I'd read more of the books I want to read through out the year verses waiting until my birthday or Christmas when I get a ton of books I want to read all at once and then only read half
- the monthly incentive would motivate me to finish books for the next swap
- a lot of books are available at the library
- I currently only buy 1 book a month around $10-$15 if that
- it's an increased monthly expense
- I don't get to keep the really good books
