Word of Mouth Monday- - Books

Anyone else hate shoe shopping with children? "Where is your toe? Wiggle it? Is that it there? Does it feel like you have enough room? Well, is there TOO much room? Can you run? Let's see. Does that hurt?" All of these questions are met with indignant responses, "Yes, that's my toe! There is a little room. I can run! Watch me!" Zoom, Zoom, apologies in my head to the shoppers who have to dodge my speed demon in the new shoes. Get the damn shoes home and walking to school "They hurt my heel." "Tough you are wearing them." Tears, more tears, "But they hurt and I can't run." Losing it, "I SAW YOU RUN! You ran all over the store!"

grrrr

So, Word of Mouth Monday is brought to you by another round of shoe shopping! It has nothing to do with shoes, but it DOES have to do with my FAV.OR.ITE subject....BOOKS, oh glorious books!! If I could I would work in a bookstore where the main task is to read the books. Huh? I'd have to actually work? Forget it, I'll just use this next service that is literally making my mouth water! I loved school simply because I got to get new books every semester!

You've all heard of Netflix right?  Well, BookSwim takes that same principle and apply it to books.  You choose your plan, 3, 5, 7 or 9 books at a time.  Keep them for as long as you like, send them back with FREE shipping and then get the next set from your "pool" list.  It gets even better!  Let's say you are a geek like me and you love business books and you end up highlighting the book, turning down pages, taking notes in the margin, well,  simply let BookSwim know and you can buy the book!  I love the try it before you buy it approach.

Is it just me or are you drooling right now?  Us geeks need to stick together.  It saves on gas, the shipping is free and really, could anything be better than a package on your porch with a new book just waiting for you?  The one thing I was worried about was that they might not have all the books I wanted, so I checked out my favorite authors, Seth Godin, Jeffrey Gittomer, Jack Canfield and it looked like they had most of their stuff. ( I warned you I'm a geek, but didn't warn you that sales and marketing and SUCCESS are my biggest interests.)

Mom and dad (who don't read my blog) and Aunt Sheri and Angie, doesn't this sound like something you could sink your teeth into?  How about the rest of you?

What book are YOU reading right now?  I'm reading How Starbucks Saved My Life.
