PLEASE TELL ME THE CAST FOR READY PLAYER ONE ISN’T TRUE

Olivia Cooke as Art3mis?? Really?

Art3mis is literally described as having a Rubenesque figure and you cast Olivia Cooke?

SUPER excited to start this!!

Imagine this magical book that the instant you touched it, it can sense what book you need at the moment and it becomes that book? NO MORE READING SLUMPS.

[jezatrixreads]

My jaw literally just dropped in awe. This is the best idea ever.

When downloading books illegally is the only way you can get them  ¯\_(ツ)_/ ¯

Hey Nonnie,

I get that. I’ve been in that position, I’ve downloaded books illegally, because I didn’t see any other option and I didn’t realise how much this hurt the authors. However, in the years on Tumblr and getting more involved in the writing/reading/publishing world, I found out how wrong I was in what I was doing. Writing is not a high paying job as it is, and by pirating books, we’re doing so, so much damage. 

I’m leaving some links here for places where you can get books online legally (I don’t know how many of them actually still work, because the posts I got them from are pretty old, but it’s worth a try):

link 1  link 2  link 3  link 4

Also, most cities have a public library - use it! Libraries are a godsend and more people should be making use of them. Borrow from friends/relatives. Save up for book sales. There are always options if you’re willing to commit to it. 

But please, please do not pirate books. 

Have a lovely day! <3

Hi! I hope you don’t mind that I’m butting in, but: Project Gutenberg is a goldmine if you like older books/classics. And Openculture.com has both old and modern stuff (Asimov! Borges! Gaiman! Munro!), as well as audiobooks. Both are completely legal. 

[books-and-cookies]

Thank you so much for chiming in! <3

[nerdybookster]

You can also sign up for sites like Freebooksy and BookBub th at send out lists of books that are cheap or free on a variety of platforms like Kindle, Nook, or Kobo.

[books-and-cookies]

Yaaass, thank you! <3

[books-and-cookies]

this is for the people harassing @vaveyard

There are always other options to pirating

[joanaintheskywithbooks]

Also check out Riveted! (it used to be called Pulseit) You can sign up and they have these free books that you can read on the website! I’m going to start Amy and Roger’s Epic Detour soon! And if you’re from the US (I’m not, sadly) they have AMAZING giveaways!

the new booklr ask meme should be “send me an aesthetic and i’ll give you a book rec based on it”. or maybe “send me the title of a book i’ve read and i’ll write you an aesthetic based on it”
