Thought I could handle a spooky little horror novel—did not expect 'em to come at me with the existential horrors of being a queer child of american evangelicals 😰

Don't need adrenaline sports or drugs, I get a rush from winning a game of audiobook chicken with my local library.

I am 🌟 COLLECTING 🌟 library cards

Reminder that the Libby App (library app - has books, audio, graphic novels) let's you add multiple libraries, you just need your card number and pin, and when you search for materials will search all of the data bases you have access to! Making the chances of you getting the book (and quickly for example if one library has a wait-list for the book, another might not) much better!!!

Don't buy books from Audible/Amazon when you can use free public resources even if you can't leave your house! You can even apply for library cards online without going in and usually get a 30 day grace period before having to go in with a license/id for a permanent library card 💖💖💖

People already talk about the benefits of the Libby app for free ebook reading (and audiobooks) through your local library but I gotta say, it has a lot of font and type space and size options. I've been reading with the open dyslexic font and wide line spacing and it works really well for me and makes reading soooo much easier than the default publisher styles. So if you've had problems reading ebooks before maybe try the accessibility settings out!

getting second hand embarrassment HARD from sixteen-year old Levana bc what the hell do you mean you’re coming on to this man mere hours after his wife died while he looks at his newborn daughter through the hospital glass and also he has to be AT LEAST ten years older than you, probably 15 girl please what are you doing

J’adore audiobooks

[leeromeestudies]

Even with university still on-going, I've had time to read, to the point of two novels in a week while still studying & working.

I've been wanting to read these books forever, & was able to check them out through my library the day I realised they were in the catalogue. Bless libraries, & bless online library catalogues ♡

l already knew the libby app somehow knows whether I own an ebook because if I've borrowed an ebook on the app and then I buy a copy of the same ebook then libby will be like "your loan has ended" and delete it off my library shelf. which is hilarious. the wizard librarian all sternly like "you have this virtual book at home. the virtual library copy is for people who do not. therefore *poof*"

anyway awhile back I asked the app to add me to the waiting list for a certain book if my library acquired a digital copy of it, and then got tired of waiting and bought it, but forgot to un-ask libby for it

so libby just sent me a notification like "your library has acquired a copy of this book..." and instead of "and we have added you to the wait list," or "but we see you already have a copy," it was just followed by nothing. like a digital disapproving stare. like "we came here to tell you something but..." (eyes slide past me and fix accusingly on the digital copy on the virtual shelf behind me)

Finally on Libby! (Deep Search + Notify Me tag) OAK KING HOLLY KING is a queer romantasy wherein a fearsome fae warrior destined for ritual sacrifice seeks a Victorian clerk fated to save him.

[e-b-reads]

Sometimes Libby's "similar" tag is useful to find new books within a genre/vibe, and sometimes I say "hey Libby, show me books similar to this sort of historical pulp horror by Barbara Hambly" and Libby shows me 20 books that are not a similar genre at all but are all written by different people named Barbara.

Thought of the day: The Libby app was named in Libby's honor for the book girlies because she is also an underrated book girlie who will literally be stuck in the tiniest cozy nook she can find when she is in the middle of a good book. Do not disturb her for she might hiss at you when you find her. Avery and Nash learned the hard way.

That is all. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

i'm so silly 😂 a hold came through for book 2 in a series this morning but i suspended it coz Libby was saying i wouldn't get book 1 for 6 weeks

[edmundpevensiesqueen]

i’ve had to stop listening to winter and take a moment to breath because WHAT DO YOU KEAN LEVANNA IS LUNAR GIFTING KAI INTO SAYING THAT SHIT ACTOSS THE MOON IM GONNA LOSE IT

I haven’t even fully finished his speech to the lunars because i just CANNOT and im imagining cinder’s reaction and everything is horrible and im not even 50% through with the audio book i can’t do this 😭

[turning-pages-seeking-sages]

I wish there was a way to sync my StoryGraph TBR list with the Libby app, so it could automatically check if the e-books or audiobooks are available in my connected library.
