What are you reading?

I have the audio books I listen too speeded up.

I had a look and it looks like my local library uses Borrowbox rather than Libby. I remember now why I couldn't use Libby. There nearest libby library is over 50 miles away from me. I might apply for a library card and try borrowbox. Google freebie listings are still limited having looked through yesterday.
 
BorrowBox is good too 👍 I have a card for the county library service, it’s not limited to just the local library, so you may still find Libby works for you.
 
Thanks for the advice. I joined the local library service. Did it online last night, downloaded borrow box and it then let me download audios. More choice than Google books so all is good.
If i want to physically borrow books (which i dont) then i have to go into the library to upgrade the membership.

Just to update. Thanks for getting me back into the books. I seem to be listening to an audio book a day currently. Borrowbox has been working well for me so far.

I am glad it's working.
I am trying to get into reading before bed like I used to, to unwind.
Even if it's not a full chapter it's a start

Just done a tot up. I've managed to listen to 80 books so far since April, thanks to the push to get the borrowbox app.

I've never read that many in my life.

I relish my night time read. I absolutely love cozy fiction or, murder mystery. At the moment I am enjoying Shari Lapena. She's almost as addictive as Frieda Mcfadden. I tuck the cats up about quarter to eleven then stumble into bed with my Kindle device and enjoy a few chapters. It helps me sleep and relaxes me. Else I fixate on things and get no sleep bar a few ridiculous nightmare filled hours. Edited to add; I read about one a week, so hoping they either write more or I find some new authors as I'm running out fast. Good job I have a kindle else I wouldn't be able to move in the house for stacks.
 
I bought some books from the library. So I going to make the effort to take the book to bed and read a chapter.
The evenings are drawing in, so that will kick start things.
Plus it's wet so even more likely.
 
I am a fan of Dilly Court and picked up one for £1, just need to check what I have read of the series.
Would like to read all the The Number One Detective Agency

However I bought the Traitors book and Series 2 Celebrity starts October, so I need to get going on that. It's multiple choice and I really loved that as a kid (bet I am going to hate it as an adult)

Also has anyone reread any kids books they read as a child from an adult perspective?

Kids books - most definitely me. I seek solace in an easier world. I love Little House on the Prairie books, Little Women, I Capture the Castle. I had a mmigraine the other day and went to bed listening to Beatrix Potter books on BBC. It was perfect. Just the right level for my hurting head.
