For everyone participating in a substack read-along, Librivox has free audiobooks of hundreds of classics and a free app with which to listen to them. I'm currently using it to listen to Moby Dick, but there are so many other titles available and all for free.

I just found out that Spotify now offers paid audiobooks. The thing is, if you have Spotify premium, you still have to pay for each audiobook you want to listen to. Which makes sense in the context of audiobooks as a whole but not on a platform I’m already paying.
So, anyway. Friendly reminder that you can access audiobooks for free on the Libby app. All you need is a library card.
And if you’re a minor, you can get a Brooklyn Library card even if you don’t live in NY. And their access to books is RIDICULOUSLY big! It’s a dream!

If you read any of my Ao3 fics, I'd love our input!
I think I've come up with a probably legal way to make my fics into audio files I could upload here for free listening. I don't want to make money from my fics, I just like entertaining my fellow fans, so I'm not planning on having any sort of fees or prices attached.
I've written for #Wintersberg, #Gentlebeard, #ClarkeSlayer or #DoomSpace, and #Serennedy primarily, so these would be the fics and series I would focus on. It would be a bit of work but if there's any interest I'd like the motivation to test it out.
Let me know how ya feel. If you haven't read my stuff but like any of those ships you can read all of my stuff here, and only here

Project Gutenberg link for Flatland: A romance of Many Dimensions
It has 33,852 words
I give it 9/10. Fascist shapes in Space.
(Edit October 4th 2023. I'm changing my rating to 10/10. It gets even funnier the more you read it.)
Oh here's an absolutely fantastic and hilarious audiobook version on the web archive.

How I Spent January 2024: Exploring the World Through Free Audiobooks on the Libby App
Shaina Tranquilino
February 7, 2024
Tumblr media
As we kick off another year, many of us find ourselves seeking new forms of entertainment that are engaging, enriching, and easily accessible. In January 2024, I embarked on a personal challenge to listen to one audiobook each day using the Libby app connected to my local library. Little did I know that this simple decision would lead me down an incredible path of free entertainment, clutter-free living space, and a wealth of information.
1. The Power of Audiobooks:
Audiobooks have been gaining popularity in recent years, offering a convenient alternative to traditional reading. With busy schedules and limited time for leisure activities, listening to books has become increasingly appealing. By utilizing the Libby app, which connects users with their local library's vast collection of digital content, I discovered an extensive catalog of audiobooks waiting to be explored.
2. Free Entertainment at My Fingertips:
One of the most significant advantages of utilizing the Libby app was the cost-effectiveness it offered. Unlike buying physical copies or subscribing to audiobook platforms, borrowing from the library through Libby allowed me to enjoy countless hours of captivating storytelling without spending a single penny. This not only saved me money but also opened up doors to genres and authors I may not have otherwise considered.
3. No Clutter, No Problem:
Another unexpected benefit I experienced during my month-long journey was the absence of physical clutter caused by accumulating books at home. As someone who appreciates minimalism and values a tidy living space, relying on digital copies eliminated any concerns about storage limitations or adding unnecessary bulk to my shelves. It was liberating to indulge in diverse literature without worrying about where to store it all afterward.
4. Gaining Information and Expanding Horizons:
Beyond mere entertainment value, my audiobook challenge allowed me to gain knowledge and broaden my horizons. Each day, I delved into various subjects, genres, and perspectives, ranging from biographies to self-help books, historical fiction to science fiction. My understanding of the world grew exponentially as I absorbed insights from different cultures, eras, and ideologies – all while going about my daily routine.
5. Developing a Daily Ritual:
Listening to an audiobook each day became more than just a challenge; it turned into a cherished ritual that enhanced my overall well-being. Whether accompanying me during mundane tasks or providing solace during long commutes, these narrated tales transformed formerly monotonous activities into moments of inspiration and intellectual stimulation.
My January 2024 journey spent listening to one audiobook per day through the Libby app connected to my local library was nothing short of transformative. Not only did I uncover a vast array of free entertainment options but also found myself immersed in captivating stories that expanded my understanding of the world. Moreover, by embracing digital copies instead of physical clutter, I maintained a clean living space without sacrificing literary exploration.
If you're looking for an accessible way to enjoy an abundance of literature while minimizing expenses and decluttering your home, I highly recommend exploring the wonders offered by your local library's partnership with apps like Libby, or even Audible, Spotify, and YouTube! Embrace this modern form of reading and embark on your own adventure through the power of audiobooks!

For all you physics nerds (or aspiring physics nerds) out there!!! I just came across a podcast/audio version of the Feynman Lectures. This is great for those of you who don't want to spend $300 CAD on the box set.

I need to get on my soapbox for a second. There’s this app called Overdrive (that is now called Libby) that you can use for free and it connects to your local library. It allows you to read and listen to any books that your library has available. It’s literally the best thing I’ve never spent money on.
I’ve read SO many novels, graphic novels, and listened to a ridiculous amount of books on there. If you love reading and you love saving money, consider checking the app out!
I’m sharing this as someone who lives on a budget. I have not spent over 20 dollars on books this past year. I’ve bought some books because I wanted to pre-order from favorite authors but this app has single handedly changed my life. Hopefully, it helps you too!
