So, I recently could not think of the title of a book, and found this group on Goodreads: What is the name of that book????

I actually found the book after I made the post, but did not get notifications of people responding to me, so I just found it, and they figured it out as well! The group has a lot of people just wanting to help you remember that one book you read...that one time....where the guy does that thing.... It's worth joining if you forget books sometimes, or even if you are just wanting to help others with you book knowledge! :D

Marika | 187 comments If you're interested in free Christian books/Bibles. Tyndale has a rewards site. In less than 10 minutes I "earned" enough points by doing just a few really simple surveys and I was able to order a devotional right away! (they have multiple options including fiction and non-fiction) Anyways if you use this link to sign up I get 10 points :)

Thanks Marika! The items you get from your rewards, do they get mailed to you or come in e-book form?


message 7: by Dana, SuperMod (new)

Dana Burkey (danaburkey) | 1690 comments Mod
Found the answer to my own question! haha It looks like they send you paper books in the mail! In just half an hour I got enough points on the site to get 3 books! :)


message 8: by Marika (new)

Marika | 187 comments WOW! I only had enough to get one book lol! kudos to you!


message 9: by Marika (new)

Marika | 187 comments watch out though some are pdfs...kinda lame

Dana Burkey (danaburkey) | 1690 comments Mod
I just got YA books, so I can pass them on to some of the girls at work! And, the ones I picked were all books, so that is fun! I don't have many ways to earn points now though, so I might have to wait a while before I get anything else... still cool tho! :)


message 11: by Marika (new)

Marika | 187 comments yeah I think I'm in the same spot. But I guess they send you emails periodically and you can fill out surveys so over time points will accumulate and I can get more books :)


message 12: by [deleted user] (new)

So I just started this group called Christian YA Readers. It is so we can talk about the different YA books we have read from a Christian perspective. If anyone is interested, here is the link
