A #scribdpicks of #womenintranslation. This time from Japanese and non fiction. This is about the importance of language and how much can be lost if we all focus on just one.
I'm really intrigued by this one and its another #tbr

mhillis This looks so interesting! I loved her book 6y
Weaponxgirl @mhillis I've been looking at that one too! I'm hoping to get to this one this month 6y
rockpools You may well have explained it to me before (bear of very little brain right now) but tell me about Scribd. It's like an online subscription library with print and audio? What would I need to know? 6y

Weaponxgirl @RachelO yes, it's basically like Netflix for books. I use the app on my iPad and you can read as many books as you want a month for Qe.99. But you do get a month free to see if you like it first. The thing I find hard about it is browsing, it's great if you know what your after which is why I've been doing these #scribdpicks. Ask away if I've missed anything! ? 6y
rockpools @Weaponxgirl Thanks. I might have to give the trial a go. I'd need to stop audible if I subscribed, but I'm definitely curious. Do you tend to read on your phone? 6y
Weaponxgirl @RachelO I stopped audible when I got this as I felt it was better value with the combination of ebooks and audiobooks. I read on my iPad but I think you can read on a laptop too. I like the app as I can download books to read on the go. Only other complaint I have is the sleep mode is for set amount of time when I like it to end at the end of a chapter. 6y
rockpools I suppose I'd have to be thinking of it as primarily an audio replacement. I don't have a tablet & my laptop's too heavy to read on right now. I'll definitely do the trial month, tho might save it for a couple of weeks til I'm more caught up - you're finding lovely stuff! 6y
Weaponxgirl @RachelO my huge problem is reading quick enough to keep up with what I find! But that is the never ending struggle of us bookworms 6y
