Honestly getting Libby on my phone was what got me back into reading. I love love physical books and going to the library but when I was super busy and already walking around the city with all my stuff I'd need that day I didn't have the bandwidth for physical books. But a couple pages on my phone seemed much more doable. It's helped me discover so many books I probably wouldn't have picked up physically. All reading is good reading. But support your libraries!!
This is real af! Im trying to balance my desire to read more with the reality that I can’t carry a million books around the city a day. I also change my bags around a lot so I always misplace them!
Libby paired with an e-reader has gotten me back into reading in a big way. The lending power of your local library with the convenience of digital delivery is a great combo! You can read in the app as well if you don’t want to fully commit to getting an e-reader.
the only reason i got my library card was to use this app, read books in the comfort of my home, and not have to buy used copies of books for my romance book club
First you need a library card which is also something I highly recommend. Libby is my favorite recommendation and I will talk about it whenever I get the chance. Because it’s also free. You can read magazines which will give you something to do on your phone instead of doomscrolling. You can listen to audiobooks too and they have literally everything. You can look at an eBook of a cookbook and get a recipe.
It's so lawless. You’ll see the weirdest things and no one will care. People are so unabashedly human here. Dead expressions, exhaustion, boredom. You’ll get a coffee, someone else will get a bloody mary, the time is irrelevant. Your priorities will be tested, everything costs at least three times as much as it should, it won’t matter. I love liminal spaces.
