You can borrow audiobooks on this app through your library card. Useful for all those socially conscious non-fiction books you see quoted and have been meaning to read. Also great for celebrity memoirs and long dead writers who recorded their own audio (C.S Lewis had such a lovely voice). For whatever reason I canât pay attention to fiction audiobooks but maybe thatâs just me.

libby is an app that connects to your local library (through your library card #) and allows you to check out audiobooks and e-books. it works a lot like a physical library in that if they're not available, you can't check out book right away. you place holds on the books you want and they can take weeks or months until you can borrow them.
i used to hate that, but if you have many holds (up to 12) then you can read/listen to them as they become available and by the time you're done, the next is likely ready to be borrowed. you can borrow them for 21 days at a time.
there are other similar apps that offer similar things, some where you can borrow them right away, but libby has the best collection of books, including most new releases. i think libby blows audible out of the water, in that once you use libby, paying for a subscription and buying audiobooks seems absurd.

I am truly obsessed with the Libby app. If you have a library card, a phone, and an e-reader, it is a free library in your phone/tablet/whatever. Billions and bazillions of audiobooks and books and more for free. A great way to try new books or audiobooks at your own pace, and there are no late fees. Perfection.

I donât know if people are aware that you can easily borrow ebooks and audiobooks through your public library using this app. Also, I just recommend the library in general.

Posting this only so people know the NYT games of wordle, connections and the mini crossword etc are FREE everyday. I think if youâre really good at the spelling bee and are going up past 30 points (and who is?) you have to be a paid subscriber, but you can get basic brain training every morning for FREE. Better than Wordscapes and no ads! Letâs all delay dementia together.

If youâre an aspiring screenwriter I highly recommend doing a film challenge. Itâs fun and takes you out of âI havenât written today, I donât know how to write!â anxiety brain and reminds you that you like movies for actual deep and personally fascinating reasons. It also is a great way to show you what your film taste is as youâll see links in the films you pick each day. I attached a pic of one I made if you want to do it :)
