I love reading and the library in my area sucks. They are never open and if they are open it’s weird hours. Now they are closed for “remodeling”…right! I try to support authors and buy books but sometimes my budget isn’t there and let’s be honest. Once you read a book its a done deal. You just spent 15 bucks for a book to collect dust. I am tired of doing that so enter Scribd. I came across a while ago but never really paid any attention to it. Then one of my blogger buddies mentioned it to me and I took a closer look at it and realized that I love this concept. It’s like the Netflix of books. You pay for a subscription and you read at your own pace. Now, this might not work for those who like to read real books and turn the page or for those who read on Kindle and like to highlight certain sections. A quick fix for that is to write down in a journal some of the key pieces from the book or you can put it in a blog post like I do for future references. I had a chance to ask Scribd some questions about their services see their answers below. Would you use Scribd for reading? How do you read books?

April 24, 2019 at 2:48 pmI’ve seen so many people in the booktube/bookish world rave about Scribd. I just might look into it because our local library is starting to have weird hours as well. Plus, hold times for certain books can be outrageous. Also, there’s definitely no perfect way to make guac in my opinion. I’ve had a few different recipes and they were all equally delicious.

April 24, 2019 at 8:54 pmI have heard of Scribd, but never got more familiar with it outside of the concept. I hate waiting for books at the library (even the digital ones), so I just might have to give this a try. Thanks for giving us a thorough description of the program.!

April 26, 2019 at 9:40 amScribd sounds like a subscription site that would be great for my family. I’d totally sign up next year, this school year I’m already paying for several subscription services.
