Hey there, readers! I should probably be writing something about Mexico, or missions, or leaving home, or Mother's Day, or (most importantly!!) the greatness of God! However, I am too overwhelmed by all of those thoughts at the moment, and will have to wait until further reflection to delve back into those waters. In the meantime, I wanted to share with you all a resource that I have found to be absolutely wonderful, and I hope that you may be able to enjoy it as well! :-)
In January, I was considering subscribing to Audible, since I really wanted to challenge myself to read more books. I was a bit disillusioned by the thought of paying for it (especially since I had already done a trial run, and didn't end up using it enough to justify the expense). Accordingly, I set myself to researching alternatives. It was through that process that I discovered the app called OverDrive (Here is a link to the website, if you'd like to explore it some more! https://www.overdrive.com) This lovely little resource is a free app that you can get on your smartphone, or access online, if you prefer. To use it, you must simply have a free library card that is connected to a library with OverDrive resources. From there, you just need to follow a few quick steps to set it up. It's all free, and I have been so pleased with the number of good books I have been able to find on there! I can say that, at least in my experience, I have found a ton of resources through the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. I would imagine that many other libraries have similar programs.
Ok, well, that's all for now! I will let you all look into that, if you're interested, or contact me if you have any further questions or need further glowing reviews! ;-)
P.S. I am somewhere around 6 books down so far this year ... and counting! (I might be forgetting one or two, but that's all that are coming to mind right now! I also didn't include unfinished books on here.)
