Well… I finally did it. ☝️ I canceled my Audible membership. Sucks, because I took full advantage of premium status; the Great Courses lectures were one of the best things I had ever come across. But the amount of ‘included-with-membership‘ books made it possible for me to save a huge chunk of titles purchased with credits. Which will give me some time before I (most likely) move to LibroFM.
A pretty fantastic #bookhaul for #independentbookstoreday! I needed to buy enough to get a free tote. 🤷♀️
Happy Independent Bookstore Day! I'm off to catch the last six bookstores on the Greater Charlotte Book Crawl. Support your local indies today! 📚

pickSeems like an appropriate way to celebrate Independent Bookstore Day. Honestly, I haven‘t missed them in the two months since I quit Amazon.
so-soIt‘s not terrible. 🤷 It‘s not so much a history as it is a highlight of bookshops the author found interesting. Not a problem, but some of them were not to me. I also do not like the way certain historic events were worded. Eg. In the chapter about “radical” bookstores, he states that Eugene Debs (an American socialist) went to prison. No context. It makes me wonder about other facts he tossed around.
Back to work today. I almost left without a book and had to just grab one as I was heading out the door. :D Guess I‘ll be reading this next. I cannot read ebooks or audiobooks when students are in the room and I like to set an example of reading for them since many tell me they never read. :( #education
