We are out of town for a chiropractic seminar and it‘s pouring rain ☔️ we are actually at the beach, but the weather it terrible! I‘ll just hole up in this room with my books! No complaints here! 📚📚📚

KathyWheeler Sometimes when we‘re at the beach for a few days, I love it when it rains and we can hole up in our room and read. 15h
willaful Last year I was staying at a San Francisco hotel with an outdoor rooftop pool, and you know what Mark Twain said about summer in San Francisco... so I didn't even try to swim, just holed up in the hot tub with my waterproof ereader. 😎 15h

MaleficentBookDragon I‘ve read most of them. I‘m a little behind on the recent ones. This one is one of my favorites. 1d
Eggs I read/liked It Girl, One by One, Turn of the Key, Lying Game, In a Dark Dark Wood, Death of Mrs Westaway ~ Lying Game was my least favorite 1d
marleed I discovered this author 3 books in, have kept up with her releases and read the two earlier books. I don‘t believe I‘ve given any of her books my 5⭐️ rating, I‘ve liked some of her works considerably more than others, but always have fun reading them. I think your posting and the tagged may be my favs! 17h

ChaoticMissAdventures Both Cicely Tyson and Viola Davis' memoirs are amazing. Heavy by Kiese Laymon and Men We Reaped by Jesmyn Ward both changed the way I think. If you can read it (all the trigger warnings) Know My Name by Chantel Miller is one of the most beautiful and moving books I have read. 1w

Sociopath: A Memoir | Patric Gagne
post image

“Think you know a sociopath? I‘ll bet you‘re right. But I‘ll also bet it‘s the last person you suspect. Contrary to popular belief, sociopaths are more than their personality markers. They are children seeking understanding. They are patients hoping for validation. They are parents looking for answers. They are human beings in need of compassion. But the system is failing them. Schools aren‘t recognizing them. Professionals aren‘t treating them.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks They quite literally have nowhere to go for help.” 1w
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Finishing this one on audio this morning with Tux on the porch 🐾 This has been a very interesting book. Super scary though! I‘m fairly positive that I have dealt with someone in the past who fits into this category. He scares the hell out of me 😱 thankfully I made it out of that situation 🙏🏻 1w

Well… I‘ve literally gone down the rabbit hole 🐇 I recently listened to Crystal Hefner‘s memoir and I‘ve been watching the documentary, Secrets of Playboy. Wow, the things that went on in that house have blown my mind 🤯😳 the celebrities, the drugs, the deaths, the women who worked for Hefner were atrocious and covered up so many horrible things. Like I said… mind blown 😵‍💫

This will be my 4th audiobook! Yay me! 🎉 I‘m trying Everand!

mrp27 I‘m not a big audio book person either but the few books I‘ve enjoyed on audio tend to be memoirs and non fiction titles and of course narrator/narration is always key. 3w
perfectsinner Nice! I just read this one recently after being on hold for it for 6 months. It was interesting. I used to watch the TV show and always wondered about Holly & Hugh's dynamic as a couple... and wondered what went wrong, and how she felt about Crystal marrying Hef after Holly had seemingly waited so long. 3w
UwannaPublishme Your 4th audiobook! Woo hoo! 👏🏻 2w

Crazeedi I get mine on libby 3w
TieDyeDude I had a gift card to Audible, and splurged for a few months after, but it is pretty expensive. I renewed my library account before we left Colorado, so I still use Libby through them. The Alaska digital system isn't great (and I think Libby is out of their price range). Try this list - https://everyday-reading.com/where-you-can-get-a-non-resident-library-card/ 3w

Kristy_K One of my libraries uses cloudLibrary and one uses Hoopla. Maybe try those? 3w
willaful I think the libby subreddit has info on where you can legally get cards in other places. You might have to pay a yearly fee but I bet it's cheaper than audible.

Also see if you can find a library with Hoopla.

Ruthiella I don‘t use it anymore because I have Libby & Hoopla access through my library, but Everand/Scribd is a subscription service $12 per month, and unlimited audio and Ebook access. Also Chirp audio is a non subscription service, you buy the audiobook, but they have pretty good sales. 3w
MaGoose Like @majkia, I use Chirp. 3w
Susanita Libro.fm is an indie alternative to audible 3w
RamsFan1963 I use Audible, Libby and Spotify. 3w
Soubhiville Libro.FM supports independent bookstores instead of Amazon. It‘s the same price though I think. Check and see if your library has another audiobook option. Hoopla is the other one my library has. It‘s also possible you might be able to get a free membership with another library in your state which does use Libby. 3w
BethM Everand which used to be Scribd. I listen to way to Many for audible to be cost effective . 3w
Lcsmcat Brooklyn public library allows out of town memberships for a reasonable rate (it was $50 a few years ago) and has lots of great audiobooks. 3w

mrp27 Oh man that sucks! Libby is the only place I use for audiobooks and I‘m lucky that my city uses Libby and as a resident of California I have an LA library card so I‘ve got two large library catalogs to borrow from. 3w
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Soubhiville my library has hoopla! Just signed up! ❤️🎊🎉 2w
Soubhiville Oh good! I hope you can get a good selection from them. 2w
