This week we’re giving something out to all those people who are starting a business or are already running one – even if you’re a part of the big machine, this book is for you!

We’ve chosen a winner! Sorry, but this Freeday is closed. Stay tuned for next week’s!

Stripped of all big words and fancy strategies, Rework’s collection of short, inspiring essays advocates a “less is more” approach to starting your own business, handing out tips on increasing productivity and debunking myths in business. And based on the success of 37Signals, the software company started by authors Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, looks like their advice is worth holding on to. (via FastCompany)

Not that I’m complaining, but presents for all the moms in my life adds up! What about us dads? Alright, alright. So we have fathers day coming up in June. Still, why not grab a gift for dad – just for being dad – and make him feel better for neglecting him on Sunday.

Enter My Quotable Kid. An awesome little book with the outrageous things kids say, and tons of pages for dads to write their own quotes! Now, don’t say I didn’t warn you when he writes down something stupid you said and brings it up a few years down the line!

And at roughly $10 on Amazon, you can’t go wrong!

And you may or may not know that it’s part of a hot trilogy by Swedish novelist Stieg Larsson that has received much international critical acclaim. The trilogy consists of three incredible tales – The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl who Played with Fire, and The Girl who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest.

The series follows an unlikely heroine, Lisbeth Salander, who is brilliant, strong, but vastly a mystery to everyone who knows her, as she unravels horrible crimes while struggling to bury the secrets of her past.

These books are chock full of mystery, intrigue and such fast-paced action that you’ll be holding your breath with every chapter! If ever you were looking for a realistic story that’s also a modern day page-turner, this is it.

If you know an avid reader who would much prefer to enjoy the reading experience than watch it on screen, then now’s the time to cash in on this amazing deal from Amazon. For a short time only you can get all three hardcover books in the trilogy for the incredible price of $49.11 – more than 40% in savings – and free shipping with Super Saver Shipping!
