If you are still on the fence about switching to Libro.fm, this should be the thing that pushes you over. Audible would never. So much so, they have exclusive audiobooks that they don’t even send to libraries, the only place that makes everything acceptable to everyone. Make the switch!

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.
Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

My sister Olivia was able to live for 19 years because of Medicaid. I am voting NO on the Republican Budget Resolution for people like my sister and the 1 in 5 people in the US, and 125,918 people in our community, who rely on Medicaid.

Great British Bake Off is such a delight. Catching up from the last few years and season 9 has some of the best bakers by far. The semi-final was so hard to watch someone go home. Such a much needed bright light 💕
