Five on Friday: My favorite Audio platforms

-


 Hey guys so while I love to read a physical book; I don’t always get the time. Do you have a full time job, babies (fur or non fur) to take care of,  a house which seems to never stay clean, and many other day to day routines? But you want to finish that new release? Well let me share my five favorite audiobook apps with you today!!!


LIBBY

Free

Meet Libby: local libraries offer millions of ebooks and audiobooks. You can barrow them for free, with a library card. 
Plus side- its free if you ave a library card. Downside- is that the popular titles do have a wait period.



HOOPLA

Free

Meet Hoopla: All in one digital library app, with over 800,00 titles. Allows you to barrow movies, music, audiobooks, and ebooks. 
Plus side- free with library card and no matter how many people are checking out one things there is no wait list. Downside- is some librarbies put a limit amount to how many you can barrow. Mine library only allows 10 barrows. 



SCRIBD
$9.99

Meet Scribd: an American ebook and audiobook subscription service that includes one million titles.
Plus side- it’s one fee for access to all books in both platforms. No hidden costs. Downside- is that sometimes you have to wait for certain titles to become available. Especially new titles.



LIBRA.FM
$14.99

Meet Libra.fm: If you want to support your independent bookstore then look no further. This one is a membership of 14.99 a month which guarantees one credit for any audiobook. 
Plus side- you support local businesses. Downside- for multiple books means more cash out of your pocket.



AUDIBLE
$14.95

Meet Audible: Each month you receive one credit which will get you an audiobook. This app is linked to your Amazon account so to getting more books is made easy. Plus side- user friendly and popular. Downside- can get expensive. 


 
I hope you give some of these a try if you like audiobooks or have been looking into giving them a try. Do you use any of these platforms? Do you have any more great friendly user audio book apps that I should 
give a try?

    I use Audible, and yes it can gt expensive but I really only listen to about one book a month so I am not purchasing multiples. If I end up doing so, I have always been able to find something in their free library to keep me entertained

    I just discovered Hoopla last year ! It has such a great selection even with the limits. I've used all of these except Libro.FM. Have you heard of Audiobooks.com ? They are like Audible but they had the 'purchase-in-app' feature first.

It Is Monday What Are You Reading??

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organize yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and er… add to your groaning TBR pile! This meme by  Kathryn at   The Book Date It has been since October that I have had any fun with all the weekly things I do here on the blog and I am so glad I am back! So let's get right into what I am reading! NIGHT SHIFT BY ALEX FINLAY I really enjoyed Alex Finlay's previous book Every Last Fear, so when I saw Night Shift on Net Galley I knew I would want to read it. I am reading this on my kindle so I am a bit slower at finishing it due to mostly reading it at night when I do not want to bother my husband with lights being on...I mean I have to be nice, he gets up early to go to work. He tells me it doesn't bother him, but I feel like it is a nice thing to do! Here is the summary: It’s New Year’s Eve 1999. Y2K is expected to end

Can't Wait Wednesdays: Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo

Can't-Wait Wednesday is hosted by Tressa at  Wishful Endings  and gives us a chance to highlight books we are patiently waiting to fill up our TBRs with. I love spooky season, not all the pumpkin spice items they now have that stock the grocery shelves, but the creepy books I can snuggle up with wearing a comfy sweater. Who am I kidding...it is still too warm here to wear a sweater in October. Despite the sweltering 100 degrees weather here on the Oklahoma prairie, I am thinking about all the creepy and thrilling books I can stack my TBR list with, and Summer Sons is really close to the top of my list! SUMMER SONS BY LEE MANDELO Hardcover ,  384 pages Expected publication: September 28th, 2021 by Tordotcom Andrew and Eddie did everything together, best friends bonded more deeply than brothers until Eddie left Andrew behind to start his graduate program at Vanderbilt. Six months later, only days before Andrew was to join him in Nashville, Eddie dies of an apparent suicide. He leaves

Sunday Salon: Diningroom is finished!

 The Sunday Salon is hosted by  Readerbuzz  I was born into the military, both my parents were in, my entire life was spent on military bases around the world, I married into it, and I also raised a boy who grew up to be a military man, so first and foremost I would like to pay a small remembrance to the 13 servicemen and women who lost their lived this past week in Kabul and also the families left behind. It saddens me that these young men and women lost their lives at such a young age. --------------------------------------- We finally finished our dining room. It actually went so much easier than most of the rooms we have done! I know I said I was unsure about the blue, it seemed too bright, but once everything was put back in I loved it. When living in a 100-year-old house there is always the next project, so on to the Butlers pantry which is between the dining room and kitchen. We have ordered wallpaper for it and it will not arrive until September 9th so we have a bit of a breath
