I think the first free book site that ever came to my attention was BookBub. It’s a huge site that boasts hundreds of books every day that it seems to be giving away. To me, it sounded too good to be true: must be either a scam or some kind of pirating deal that will, at best, infect my computer with a virus, and at worst, is cheating authors out of their royalties.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Authors spend money–in the case of BookBub, hundreds of dollars–to get their books featured on these sites.
New free-and-cheap book sites are popping up all the time. They gather the e-mails of avid readers and send out newsletters to let them know where to find the best deals. Some even have contests in which readers can win things like e-readers and gift cards. And it’s all perfectly legit.
If you adore books but your wallet can’t handle all that love, I suggest you subscribe to some of them. In fact, you can start here, at BookDoggy, where The Magician’s Curse is featured today. Here’s the link: https://bookdoggy.com/
Happy reading!!

It can be good. However, it can be tiring of reading too much. Pay for the books can be a good thing. One tend to have more focus and appreciate more.

Certainly if I go out and buy the hardcover of a book it means I really wanted it. 🙂

Hi! Yes, I have, twice, received emails from BookBub about free (or really, really inexpensive books) but….EVERYDAY is too much so I discontinued. I can’t keep up with the ones I get from library, audio, and loaners I pick up here and there. I’m glad you looked into it more.

BookBub is the mammoth of all free book sites – hundreds of books a week. I only open their e-mails when I need something to read.

Good plan. I always opened…I didn’t want to miss a good deal on a good book. But I hate having to go thru and delete mail…I get tons so I have to do it daily.
