I love books. Reading is one of my favourite past times. My husband often struggles to understand my need to buy yet another book though. If I'm honest I can't always find a good justification for spending more money on my reading habit... especially when I still have several unread books still waiting for me on my bookshelf. I definitely need a bigger house with bigger bookshelves if I want to continue buying more print books for my collection.

How to get free books
So, how do I feed my need for new books to read without breaking the bank? By getting free reads!
Now, I have to take a moment to remind you to NEVER get a pirate copy of a book. You'd be amazed at the number of sites out their ripping off poor authors by pirating their books. It's happened to me numerous times. There is never a good reason to grab a book from one of these sites. There are plenty of legitimate ways to get a free copy of a book.
Here's my top 5 places for free books:
1. Amazon
If you sign up for Kindle Unlimited you can grab books for free in the lending library. Amazon also offers plenty of kindle books for free.
As an author, I often make my books available for free for limited time only promotions. It's my way of letting readers know I appreciate them. It also shows that they don't have to get copies from pirate sites, but can instead show their support and get a legit copy.
2. Net Galley
I LOVE the Net Galley site! The site offers a wide variety of genres, and also gives you the chance to get your hands on ARC copies of new releases.
3. Book Tours
I work with book tour companies all the time hosting their authors on my website www.WritersAndAuthors.info. As reviews are in such high demand they often offer review copies in exchange for your honest review. I've discovered some awesome books through hosting authors on my site.
4. Giveaways
I love reading other book blogs and they often feature giveaways. In fact, when I host an author on my blog they will sometimes offer a giveaway to be included in the post. These are usually done using an app like Rafflecopter.
Then there are sites like Goodreads that offer a giveaway feature.
5. The Library
When you're not bothered about keeping the book, you can always borrow a copy from your local library.
