BookSwim is a website that works like Netflix for books, or a mail-order library. Sign up for a subscription with them, and you can make a list of books that you want to read. When the books become available, they'll send them to you. Depending on the subscription you buy, you can have between 3 and 11 books out at a time, and there are no late fees. Once you're done with the book, you mail it back to them (you don't pay for shipping), and the next book is sent to you.

To publicize their company, BookSwim also gives away one free book every week in their weekly Bookaways giveaways.

Entering is easy. Once you've registered (registration for the giveaway site is free) and logged in, you can enter the sweepstakes with a single click.

The free books cover a wide range of genres, so if you don't like this week's book, check back next week.
