A reading thread for ๐Ÿ—ก THESE HOLLOW VOWS by Lexi Ryan

I'm actually reading several things at the moment, but I wanted to do a thread/liveblog here and picked this book up on a whim!

Sometimes, I wish I was a protagonist in a YA novel but then I remember that requires running

Free Audiobooks and Ebooks on OVERDRIVE.

Free Graphic Novels (DC, Marvel, Image, etc), Music, TV shows, and music on HOOPLA.

Free music that you can KEEP on FREEGAL

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 arenโ€™t sure call your local libraryโ€™s reference/information desk and how you can get set-up or started.

Hey, highkey from a library worker:ย 

Overdrive has a new mobile app called LIBBYย I find it easier to use.ย  Itโ€™s the same content as Overdrive just better for mobile.ย  Overdrive and Libby both let you send items to your kindle as well.ย ย 

Can confirm Overdrive is amazing.ย 

I work in the largest library system in my state (17 branches in total).

I use it not only for ebooks, but movies as well.

Other FREE resources to check with your library for are:

  • Freegal Music (download and keep music, including current music)
  • Hoopla Digital (borrow ebooks, e-audiobooks, e-graphic novels, stream movies)
  • Kanopy (stream movies; also available on Roku!)
  • Axis360 (usually hot or just released ebooks)

If you donโ€™t have a library cardโ€ฆ

GET ONE!

If someone says libraries are a thing of the pastโ€ฆ

BOOP THEM IN THE NOSE WITH YOUR KINDLE!

Donโ€™t discount libraries asย โ€œquietโ€ places.ย 

THEY ARE ALIVE!!!

THEY ARE LOUD!!!

THEY ARE YOUR DOORWAYS TO KNOWLEDGE!!

iโ€™m not in the states - does anybody know of something similar for other countries/continents? one of my resolutions is to consume more books this year and iโ€™ve been using audible on my commute as a part of that, because i donโ€™t know of an alternative. if anyone can recommend one i would be eternally indebted to them!!!!

pro tip, if youโ€™re ever feeling overwhelmed or upset for no reason, check the holy trifecta

  1. have i eaten?
  2. have i had water?
  3. have i showered?

these questions will literally change your LIFE. if youโ€™re feeling icky for no reason, thereโ€™s a 90% chance itโ€™s one of these.

4. have i slept enough?

5. have I been outside in the past 24 hours?
