Now that we don't have zlibrary here are some websites you SHOULDN'T use in ANY circumstances. They let you download books for FREE so you should steer clear of them unless they are legal like some of these:

Archive.org: works like a library but online, gives you access to a book for up to 2 weeks with possibility to extend. It's legal!!

Zlibrary.to: apparently a backup domain for zlibrary or something but completely separated from the normal one bc it's the only one i've found that works. Seems to have less books than the original or they are harder to find, but a big database nonetheless

Libgen: not a very nice interface but it has a lot of books too, zlibrary got many of their books from here

Project gutenberg: over 60 000 free ebooks but mostly books with expired copyright. Seems pretty legal

Oceanofpdf: pretty nice interface but idk the amount of books in there. They believe that knowledge and information should be free and accessible

Pdf drive: over 80 000 000 ebooks in pdf format. Messy interface with overlapping buttons and other things but looks like it could be used to get books easily

Z-epub: has a lot of books but only free domain. This means it's a legal website so it would be good to use

You definitely SHOULD NOT use the sites that aren't mentioned as legal above, I'm just telling you so that you know which ones to avoid!!

[aroaceofthesea]

Some more sites you should also avoid AT ALL COSTS:

booksfree: a platform where you can download any book for free! Without even redirecting or a download limit! Super horrible i know

Yes pdf: also completely free, with millions of books to choose from! It even recommends books like z library did!

Reading sanctuary: Not only can you download books, you can also watch their movie adaptations! It also gives you a LONG summary of each book (beware spoilers if you read it though!)

Epubpub: over 10 000 books to download in epub format. According to them, the largest distributor of indie ebooks

The free online novel: tons of books to choose from, also (according to them) has research papers

Novel80: read the books online for free. It doesn't let you download them but they seem to be complete. They rae divided in "pages" which don't always correspond to a division in the book, but they make it easier to not read it in one go

All books hub: not a very nice interface and the book covers are like very distorted but has quite a lot of books too

Bookreadfree: similar interface to the free online novel but has a lot of categories to choose from

Allfreenovel: lots of books and a kinda nice interface

Libretexts: lets you see textbooks online for free. Not sure to what point they are accurate or not

And you want to know what's the WORST part? They appear all as the first result when you search the titles I've put here! Make sure to AVOID them and stay safe!

Z-library alternatives

So z-library is down, which is an absolute tragedy, but for those looking here's a list of alternatives under the cut.

Books

Open Library: this works like an actual library, where there's a waiting list and you can borrow books for x time.

Library Genesis: my personal favourite of the ones in this list, both for entertainment or academic books. Here you can download epubs or other formats, and there's a great ISBN search function.

The Pirate Bay: it doesn't have that many book options, and it has pop up ads, but still a good option.

Sci-Hub: this is for research papers, but you have to type the exact title of what you're looking for.

IT eBooks: books on IT and programming.

Ubooquity: has to be installed to use.

Simon & Schuster: I haven't actually tried this one, but it has a mailing list which you have to sign up to in order to get the books.

eBooks 3000: this doesn't have that many options and there are some pop up ads.

PDF Drive: there's no limits or ads, but it only has PDF formats.

Read Any Book: here you can read books online or download them.

The Eye: sort of an archive with pretty much everything, but you can't search things here, and it's tough to navigate. I think they have audiobooks too.

Audiobooks

Audiobook Bay: here you can download audiobooks.

Booksonic: this is for audiobook streaming, and you have to download the app or install the software on your computer.

Tokybook: this one has many options, and it's easy to navigate.

I know none of these are as good as z-library was, but hopefully they'll do the trick. This could really help people, so pass it on and add if you have more!

ok so

everyone knows about this meme, right?

but does anyone else know the woman who made the food? no? time to educate!

This is “Mother Mary”, the owner of Blackberry’s mother.

She made all the cakes for the restaurant while it was open. Chef Gordon Ramsay tried her red velvet cake, and spoke this meme-able line:

He then called Mary over, complimented her food, and gave her a peck on the cheek.

Look how happy she was to hear that!!!

anyways, I hope she has been able to continue her love for baking since the restaurant closed down.

[nelleana-deactivated20250625]

I remember this episode & how happy I felt. I hope she’s doing so great.

I'm unstanning whoever involves in the nth room. The whole issue is absolutely sickening and no women deserves to be treated that way. The moment they release the list of ppl who are involved including idols I WILL immediately unstan tf out.
