I'm being gifted a "Little Free Library" for my birthday and I'm super excited to get started.

This is the one on the way:

While they're good at listing the EXTERNAL dimensions, they don't really cite the INTERNAL dimensions.

Any idea? I've never had to shop for books by size before. LOL.

I've got MORE than a few ideas after working in an actual library and bookstores for years and years, but I'm interested to know...

If size were no object, what books would YOU give away for free? 🤔

Here are some of the best new books out this week, what they are about, and why you should add them to your TBR!

• What book is currently on your nightstand?
• Who is the author?
• What genre?
• How do you like it?
• Would you recommend it to others?

I would like to better manage my time reading and not get carried away. While I can set a time limit on any ebook app, I would prefer to limit myself by amount read (e.g. words, pages, chapters) so that rushing through the story is not incentivised.

I use an android device but feel free to mention apps on any platform.

Add a few new titles to your art reading list this month, including a Whitfield Lovell catalogue, a guide to making your own paint out of plants, and much more.

Paramount has agreed to sell Simon & Schuster to private equity firm KKR for $1.6 billion in cash, after more than three years of trying to offload the book publishing powerhouse.

These overrated literary classics have had more than enough time in the sun. It's time to spend our time with some others!

I'm looking for recommendations. I usually use Overdrive with books I've downloaded (I think in the epub format). But now I hear that Overdrive is no longer being supported (I think the company wants people to use their Libby app instead). I'm hoping to find something open source and privacy minded. Also not wild about what Overdrive is doing to public libraries

Global investment vampires have positioned themselves to suck our libraries dry

“Huckleberry Finn,” a book written by Mark Twain, is a famous American story. But, some schools in the U.S. don’t let students read it. Even though it is an important book, some people don’t like how it talks about race and uses bad language. It has now a censored version, too.

What are your thoughts about eBooks?

I recently bought a PocketBook to motivate myself to read more. So far, it helped alot. I startet to carry it where ever i go. The thing is, its obviously not a real book. You dont have the same experience you get if you would read a real physical book, which is a bigger problem than i thought at first.
So tell me about your thoughts about eBooks :)
