Call Me Cheap

Am so very thankful for access to my library card.
If I had to buy every book, I'd have no money.

The library allows me to read an ebook or a 'real' book, and to listen to audiobooks.

Some of the titles that I've enjoyed recently:

Joy Ellis: "Echoes On The Fens", book #15 in the DI Nikki Galena series, police procedurals in Lincolnshire.

Kelley Armstrong: "Cold As Hell", book #3 in the Havens Rock series, a secluded and exclusive town in the wilds of Yukon, Canada.

K. L. Armstrong: "Every Step She Takes", a thriller that moves from Rome to New York, with twists and turns when a past social media fiasco is splashed across the news again, with a very different ending.

Mason Cole: "William", artificial intelligence in ways you've never thought about, and they will scare you to death, with a complete surprise ending.

Dana Thomas: "Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of Clothes" is an overview of worldwide clothing manufacturing, the pollution caused by dyes, fabrics, the sweatshop mentality in all parts of the world, and those entrepreneurs who are rethinking the process to make clothing humans sustainable, healthy, economically viable, and aid a societal uptick in recycling, minimal waste, and healthy environments for workers and buyers.

Gillian McAllister: "Famous Last Words", a novel in which a London-based writer ends up in a hostage situation at the office building where he rents an office, but he's the one holding the gun. 

Let's Hop!

  2. Love my books. I only read books I can hold in my hand. I've tried a few from Hoopla with my card, but I don't like looking at a screen that much.

  3. I read constantly...usually from "real" books. My DIL and I swap ours so we both get to read good stuff and get in our book fortune discuss them.

  4. I prefer "real" books. When I have finished them, any I know I won't read again I take to the chemotherapy ward to leave, and pick up a couple from there.

    1. That's a commendable way of recycling reads, for sure. This reminds me I've been meaning to donate books to the YMCA. I should go pack a box or bag right now. ~nods~ Thanks for sharing these interesting reads and be well, all.

  6. Aren't libraries fabulous?! Affordable is another real attraction to libraries. If I were to buy every book I've read not only would the second floor of the house collapse but we would be in the poor house for sure!

  9. Libraries are amazing. The idea of making over the fashion industry to make it sustainable and pay better wages to workers while keeping us all clothed -- it's something I've mulled for years, wondering if anything would change. Let's hope so.
