Dishin' With Rebelle is holding a Facebook Fan Sweepstakes for a bag of choice from Bag Blaze! They have a lot of bags that would be great to carry your books or your e-reader in!

Here are a couple I found that would be great!

I know a lot of my readers are in college right now and are paying out of pocket for so many things that are not covered by scholarships. Books are one of the biggest purchases made most semesters and they come with astronomical prices. What is a college student to do? Well thankfully for you there is a site called Campus Book Rentals. With Campus Book Rentals you can rent the text books you need and save 35 to 90% off your book cost. Don't believe me? Let's check the facts.

Campus Book Rental price for Western Civilization Vol. 1- 33.59 USD
Amazon Price for Western Civilization Vol. 1, New- 93.81 USD
Savings - 60.22 USD
My first question was " How is the quality of the books?" After searching through their site it wasn't long until I found my answer:

All textbooks are in an acceptable used, like new or new condition. We strive to provide you with high quality textbooks similar to new and used books in your school bookstore. After all, we'd like to rent the book to someone else once you're done with it, so it's in our interest to provide quality textbook.

Then I wanted to know what would happen if you dropped a class and needed to return the book? Would you be out of a rental fee? I know everyone hates to waste money so this was a very important question. Again, after searching the site I found the answer quickly and easily:

We offer 30 day worry free guarantee. If you drop your class or change your mind for any reason, return your book within 30 days of your order date for a full refund.

That almost sold me but one more question, What happens if you need to keep the book because god forbid you fail a class. Again, I found the answer easily:

Our rental periods should provide ample time for you to complete your classes, but if you find yourself needing to extend your rental period or re-rent the book altogether, simply access your account, select the book or books you wish to extend or re-rent, and you will be led to several options prior to checkout. You can extend 15 or 30 days, or re-rent the book all together at a stellar discount.

Also if you decide to keep a book you will have the option to purchase the book at a discount. How could you go wrong? It is tougher and more expensive to attend college these days. Little costs add up and are NOT covered by scholarships. Your book purchases could mean the difference between eating Ramen for the semester or upgrading to Chef Boyardee. When the time comes you should really check out Campus Book Rentals for all of your books. They provide free shipping, she can highlight the books, and they have flexible renting periods.

As if that is not enough to convince you, Campus Book Rentals donates a portion of every text-book rental to Operation Smile, how amazing is that! Also, they set aside $90,000 in textbook scholarships to be distributed to students in communities just like ours. That’s a lot of books, and  they hope to touch a lot of students who could use a hand.

Campus Book Rentals is definitely the best choice for all your text-book needs!
