Free Books

I was on facebook the other day when I saw a fellow milspouses status. It said she was sitting down to read the book Water for Elephants which she had received free from military one source. I clicked on the comments to see how she had done so

Apparently if you create an account on military one source.com you are eligible to receive 10 free books a year. I went and created my account and started searching for my free books. I was excited to get Water for Elephants. I had looked at that book ever time I went to a book store but never picked it up. I hear it's amazing and is being made into a movie with Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson.
I guess the books change frequently so that was the only one I ordered. Some books you could get for free was You on a diet, What to Expect When Your Expecting and Army Wives by Tanya Biank. The books take about 7-14 days to arrive. I can't wait to get my book and keep searching to see if they've changed the book list yet!

Word of advice- if you go on to register or have an account, it's a little difficult to find the site for the free books. So after I signed in, I was taken to the home page and clicked on the tools button. Then I typed in free books in the search box and a listing for free paper back books came up. Then you were brought to the library page and all you have to do is click on fiction or non fiction and start searching!

Anyway I just though I'd let y'all know. This book nerd is so excited to get free books!

    I LOVE Water for Elephants! The author has written a couple more books. If you like Elephants you just might love the others too.

    That book was surprisingly good. I really didn't expect it to be but I couldn't put it down!

    The only problem for me is that the Coast Guard is not DoD so we get excluded from Military One Source and many other helpful military family programs. My Navy wife friends are always telling me "go here, you can find ___ for free!" ... and then I get there and I'm excluded :( As if I'm not a military wife *sniff*

    OK, enough pity party... but it really does stink.
