Tightwad Tuesday — Free or Affordable eBooks — The Olympics

Share Button

Wel­come to another excit­ing edi­tion of Tight­wad Tues­day. Being that every­one … well, almost every­one, OK, some peo­ple have Olympic fever I fig­ured I'll have my cheap butt go out and found some fun and afford­able books on the subject.

I remem­ber as a child that the Olympics were a really big deal. I lost inter­est as an adult and it seems that so did many other peo­ple. I can't blame them due to NBC's lack­lus­ter cov­er­age (lots of hype, lit­tle con­tent which is delayed by half a day). I think that it's too bad, the Olympics are a won­der­ful event and full of spirit.

Hope you enjoy.
