Do you Love 2 Read? Well, this week I went looking for a free read~ and I found some great resources for free eBooks and downloadable books! Not only do you save money, but you can save paper by reading online or on a reading device~ good for your wallet, your planet and your brain!
Freebooks.com calls themselves "the most popular website for Free Books"~ just ignore the annoying pop-up offer for a free gift card~ as much as I like free things, I don't like them with tricky strings attached! I didn't find very many choices but there were some all time favorites.
 |
| Pride and Prejudice from Freebooks.com |
 |
| Grimm's Fairy Tales from Freebooks.com |
I loved
Kobo where they invite you to "Read Freely"...and offer about 180 titles including many classics.
 |
Aesop's Fables from Kobo
|
|
 |
| Jane Eyre from Kobo |
You can "go to the mall"~ the
eBookMall, that is! They have about 125 free eBooks you can download to your "eReader, smartphone, tablet, PC or Mac. But they say their list is updated on a regular basis and that the same books are not always available, so grab them when you can!

| Walden from eBookMall |
Just Free Books is a search engine you can use to find free eBooks for you! I searched for one of my daughter's favorites: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and found 10 pages of results! Some better than others and a bit varied from the title, but it led me to a nice find called
Storynory where you can download or just listen to audio books for children. They had a wonderful version of Alice in Wonderland that is illustrated and clearly read with lovely diction.

| Available at Storynory.com |
Just Free Books also listed another audio version from
BooksShouldBeFree.com that is dramatically read and uses different readers voicing the different characters.

| Available from BooksShouldBeFree.com |
Of course there are tons more sites out there~ including
Amazon.com,
Audible.com,
Project Gutenberg,
PlanetPDF.com,
ManyBooks.net,
FreeKidsBooks.org and
MagicKeys.com.
I hope you'll have fun browsing for your favorites like I did~ when you find a good one all you have to do is find a comfy spot and enjoy a good read for FREE!
