This isn't exactly a book report. It's more a "WOW.....look at this site related to books" report. Check out http://www.bookswim.com/ if you love to read. It works just like Netflix does for movies. You create your to-read list and sign up for one of the plans they offer. For $24 per month, you can get 3 books at a time with no late fees, no due dates and no shipping charges. Pretty nifty, huh? If you can spring for $30 a month, you can get 5 books at a time. A prepaid return bag is supplied for you, too. No more trying to find shelf space for all the tomes you buy and lug home.
I browsed their offerings a little bit and found that they offer lots of the newest titles. They have a listing of the NY Times bestsellers and an "Oprah's List". You can choose from biographies, cooking, mystery, children's, fiction (of course).......... all the usual suspects.
I love my Nook e-reader, so I'm not sure that I would use this service much. But I like having it as a choice. You might, too. I'll never give up actually buying books. There are too many I need to actually touch, savor and make notes in the margins. But this could definitely whittle down my stash.
