You are PAYING for all this with your tax money - USE THEM. Most likely systems will have all 3 or 2 out of 3, so if you aren’t sure call your local library’s reference/information desk and how you can get set-up or started.
PROTECT YOUR PUBLIC LIBRARY
A lot of libraries also have KANOPY which includes the criterion collection and a bunch of other Cinematically Important™ type movies, as well as a lot of the great courses/teaching company lectures!
I use all of these services and they offer what they say on the tin: FREE ACCESS to current movies and books, as well as classics. Easy peasy, library squeezy! GO!
USEFUL INFO: OverDrive is now called Libby.
QUESTION: Can you use Libby to take out books from libraries other than your own?
I use Libby to access audiobooks from my local library, where I have a library card. Unfortunately, my local library has almost none of the audiobooks I want to listen to, and the ones it does have generally have wait lists several weeks long.
To audiobook or not to audiobook? That is the question. As for me, I LOVE audiobooks. Here’s a quick rundown on why I adore them:
I can read them while I’m travelling/commuting
Whether you’re trying to hit your reading challenge or you want to keep your mind busy while stuck in road traffic or doing menial tasks, listening to an audiobook can be a god-send when you find the right audiobooks!
There’s really just something about thrillers that makes me want to consume them by listening to their audiobook versions. Maybe the creepy and chilling atmosphere? The transition from normal to crazed voice by the narrator? The game of figuring out who the killer is or what crazy thing could happen next or how it would end?
If you all don’t know yet, I LOVE SCRIBD. I wrote a post back in…
Do you listen to audiobooks? If so, what are some of your favorites? Or, what are some you’ve loved recently?
Happy Wednesday, Bookworms! We are halfway to the weekend! Are you having a good week? Would you rather the weekend be here already? I’m enjoying my vacation, but also am very excited to go back home on Friday.
Do you listen to audiobooks? Care to recommend some awesome ones?? I looooooove audiobooks! They are really the best things ever, especially lately when my brain will not let me focus on books for very long. Being able to listen while I multitask is awesome. One series that I love on audio is the *Percy Jackson* series! The audio is so good, and if you haven’t already read the series, now is the perfect time to do so to be ready for the upcoming adaptation. I definitely plan to relisten to them soon. What about you? Any favorites or recently loved audiobooks? I need suggestions!

Demons. Monsters. Witches. James Crowley’s sacred duty as a Black Badge is to hunt them down and send them packing, banish them from the mortal realm for good.
He didn’t choose this life. No. He didn’t choose life at all.
Shot dead in a gunfight many years ago, now he’s stuck in purgatory, serving the whims of the White Throne to avoid falling to Hell. Not quite undead, though not alive either, the best he can hope for is to work off his penance and fade away.
This time, the White Throne has sent him to investigate a strange bank robbery in Lonely Hill. An outlaw with the ability to conjure ice has frozen and shattered open the bank vault and is now on a spree, robbing the region for all it’s worth.
In his quest to track down the ice-wielder and suss out which demon is behind granting a mortal such power, Crowley finds himself face-to-face with hellish beasts, shapeshifters, and, worse … temptation. But the truth behind the attacks is worse than he ever imagined …

Every month Book Club for Masochists: A Readers’ Advisory Podcasts chooses a genre at random and we read and discuss books from that genre. We also put together book lists for each episode/genre that feature works by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, & People of Colour) authors. All of our lists can be found here.
For this retroactive genre (or in this case, format) from Episode 27, we’re featuring non-fiction audiobooks by BIPOC authors published in the last 2 years.
anyone else listen to the star wars audiobooks and want to die when there’s background noise like please i’m trying to process the words and the asmr background noises make me want to bang my head into a wall and now i have no idea what’s happening in the story
recently I’ve been listening to a lot more audiobooks because I get them free from the library and i love them for my commute, but the one bad thing about audiobook is I don’t get to save quotes I like ! with physical books I fold the corners and ebooks I highlight but audiobooks? am I supposed to commit it to long-term memory??
Now Available From IP Audio: SHINE OF THE EVER, Written & Narrated by Claire Rudy Foster
A literary mixtape of life, love, and queer community.
By turns tender and punk-tough, Shine of the Ever is a series of short stories of queer voices out of 1990s Portland. This collection of interconnected stories explores what binds a community of queer and trans people as they negotiate love, screwing up, and learning to forgive themselves for being young and sometimes foolish.
Claire Rudy Foster is a queer, nonbinary trans person in long term recovery. Foster's short story collection Shine of the Ever (Interlude Press, 2019) was named by O Magazine as one of the best LGBTQ books of the year and was also included on the ALA Over the Rainbow long list. They also co-wrote Unsettled: How the Purdue Pharma Bankruptcy Failed the Victims of the American Overdose Crisis and American Fix: Inside the Opioid Addiction Crisis - and How to End It (All Points, 2018) with Ryan Hampton. Their other writing can also be found on NPR and in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Allure, among others. They live in Portland, Oregon.
