Tech News Beats

If you have a passion for reading and cannot have enough of books. If buying new books is cutting your pocket then don’t worry. As I will show a book review program which gives you free books to read in return for reading it fully and writing an honest review on your blog, other book review sites like Amazon.com or on their site Booksneeze.com. This program is completely free and is very complimentary for bloggers. As bloggers can get free books to write review on. But this program is not only for bloggers.

To get free books for review you need to sign-up on Booksneeze.com. Once your application is approved then you can request for an available book. I become very enthusiastic when I saw this program but after I signed-up my enthusiasm died down. Unfortunately, there were not many books – 7 to be precise. Hardly anything of my choice. I feel as this program is from a Christian publishing company, you will mainly find books related to Christianity. The man behind this project is Michael Hyatt.

If you are a blogger with religious posts then this may be of some help. But if it works then you will also receive a link to Booksneeze.com which can help some SEO for your site. In case if the people behind Booksneeze can increase their genre and number of available books then it will be really interesting.
