Frugal Friday: Blogging for Books

I have always been an absolute book worm. I try to use the library for most of my book needs, but sometimes they don't certain books that I am looking for. I was delighted to learn that as a blogger, publishing companies are often more than happy to give away free review copies of the books they publish. All you have to do in return, is to write a review post about the book. (It just needs to be an honest review; they do not expect all reviews to be positive.) There are several blog tours available for bloggers, such as Waterbrook Multnomah, who has a blogging for books program. Every month or so, they share with you what books are going to be released, and if you are interested, you may participate in the book tour. Blogging for books has been a real blessing to me, as it has saved us money, and has made it possible for me to read a variety of books that I otherwise wouldn't have access to. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them in the comments section. For more Frugal ideas, visit Life as Mom.
