Book Giveaways and Contests

One I’ll mention above all the other is Commuto.com. It appears to be a swapping site. There are something like 20 of these for books alone. Commuto’s deal is that they hook you up with people in your local area. Anyhow, they are promoting themselves with a book a day contest during August. They pick one of their members and end ‘em a book from their wish list.
