How Did I Not Know About This?!



I might just be the last person on the planet to know about this. That happens to me a lot, actually. But just in case... This is the coolest thing ever! It's a website chockful of the newest and coolest books. Beautiful illustrations. Silly, fun books. Classics. There are hundreds and more added all the time, apparently. They are free to read.

But here's the super cool bit. You have to make an account (takes less than 10 seconds with your facebook account) and then it will log what you read. You can add favorites to your library. Then after you read each book you hit the button to give a book. You choose the campaign you want to read for (Africa Library Project, World Vision, Read for Central America, etc.) and then a book is donated for each one that you read. Is that not the best win-win ever?! My kids are hooked!
