Hooked on Reading

Hi I'm Cathy and I'm addicted to reading. I can't go anywhere without a book. If I'm without a book for too long a period I go through withdrawals.

Perhaps you know someone like me. Is this person on your Christmas List? Not certain just what book to buy your bibliophile? Well have I got good news for you. Thrifty Jinxy turned me on to a book club after my own heart.

It's called Book Swim. You can rent hardcover and paperback books and the best part is they are sent directly to your house. My husband and I have netflix and this works the same way. You request a book you receive a book. You read the book. You return the book.

Worried about shipping? Don't be shipping is FREE both ways!!!!

Late fees? NOPE There are no late fees or due dates.

What about choices?

They're all here, best sellers, the classics, new releases and so much more. As a matter of fact on the home page one of the featured books is a book I read last month. The Black Swan. Very interesting book, oh there's some math involved but this book really gets your mind working. For example, what are the odds of flipping one coin 50 consecutive times and having it land heads up each and every time. No I'm talking about a real coin with a heads and a tails. Why is this worth knowing? Read the book and find out.

What about price?

You can get your first month of unlimited books (3 books at a time) for only $9.99

A Gift That's Uniquely Yours

As a Grandma, I can say with a great deal of authority that the gift I'm hoping I will find under my tree this year will be ANYTHING with photos of my grandkids. (IMHO the most beautiful kids in the world).

I just love Shutterfly. You can create great gifts like mugs, tees, aprons, and more that would rate a TEN PLUS on the happiness scale for recipients.

This Christmas I am giving my husband several gifts I purchased from Shutterfly. One is a collage poster. I incorporated photos of some of the happy times we've spent together over the years. I also made him a mousepad with a special photo taken at our wedding. I can't wait to see his face when he opens it. He always said he loved that photo and now it will always be right there for him to see.

I've always included family photos with our cards and this year is no different. I know my Mom and Dad just love getting photos. Guess that's where I got it from.

Anyway. If you haven't already opened an account now is the perfect time. Just by joining you get 25 FREE (that's as in no cost to you) photos. Already have an account? NO PROBLEM. There are two more great deals going on right now.

Now our photobook will help us treasure these memories.
