We heard AO3 is down.

May we suggest...

...the humble Libby while you wait?

(We happen to have unlimited licenses of the Heated Rivalry audiobook at the moment, too. If that's, you know, something anyone might be into...)

I wondered, do you know any safe resources for pirated books? I've had an itch to read some dystopian novels lately but I'm not in the financial means to buy any books, and I thought you'd be knowledgeable on this given what your page is about!

Quick easy methods:

Anna's Archive (combines results from numerous other download sites like LibGen, Sci-Hub, zlibrary, IPFS, etc. extremely popular and successful, check this Wikipedia page for working links, since they change)

Scribd (very irritating because they keep trying to get you to pay, but noteworthy because its all user-uploaded with little oversight, leading to some weird, unusual, rare, and diverse offerings.

Things that aren't technically "piracy" (and thus not as cool), but still very helpful:

Internet Archive (more older books, but you might be surprised how many modern ones they have)

Many local libraries in the US now offer free services like Libby or Hoopla which let you digitally check out books to read as much as you want
