There have been an alarming number of posts linking to pirated copies of books floating around lately, so I thought it’d be productive to share some of my own legal ways of accessing books instead of fighting the posts themselves.
If you would like to know more about book piracy and discussions surrounding the issue, here are some links:

Now on to some free books!
Libraries
Libraries are wonderful. A collection of books that people want you to take home and read. What could be better?
If they don’t have a book you want, have a chat to the librarians. They are usually all very helpful and would love to hear suggestions of books, and even get the book you want in stock for you.
Library cards are a wonderful resource, but depending on your library you may need a permanent address - if you can’t supply this that’s fine! You don’t need a library card to use libraries. Go in, grab a book, read for a while.
Many libraries now have e-book borrowing services available. It is well worth checking whether your library offers this if you prefer reading e-books or even listening to audiobooks.
Overdrive is a marvelous program that partners with many libraries to provide e-book lending, check the site to see whether any libraries near you participate!
Classics
Books in the public domain can be accessed for free in many formats
Project Gutenberg offers a huge selection of public domain books in html, epub, kindle, and plain text format.
Books in the public domain can also be found directly through the Kindle or Kobo stores. Both stores offer free apps for mobile devices and computers.
LibriVox has an impressive collection of audiobooks of public domain books read by volunteers.
Misc.
PulseIt features different young adult books every week that you can read online for free.
If you enjoy reviewing, recommending, or blogging about books you might want to check out some sites offering review copies e-book copies of books. I personally use Netgalley. I’ve also heard good things about Edelweiss.
Giveaways are another way to source free books, even if there is no guarantee of winning, what’s the harm in trying? Goodreads has a staggering number of book giveaways all the time, and there are always a few circulating in the Tumblr book community.
Kindle and Kobo also offer free or heavily discounted books often, so it is well worth checking them every so often to see if any of the free books catch your eye.
These are the only completely free and legal ways to source books that I know of - feel free to add your own ideas.
Go forth and read responsibly!
This post is amazing!
For free and inexpensive ebooks (priced by the author in most cases), I cannot speak highly enough of BookBub. I’ve built up a library of 200+ ebooks for about $25. You can even get bestsellers for $1.99 or $2.99.
LibraryThing has a robust book giveaways system as well.

“Just … isn’t giving up allowed sometimes? Isn’t it okay to say, ‘This really hurts, so I’m going to stop trying’?” “It sets a dangerous precedent.” “For avoiding pain?” “For avoiding life.”

I see the way you look at me and I can feel how real it is. I can feel the truth in your emotions, and in the way you touch me
Ruin and Rising Quotes
warner & juliette: ignite me quotes
"I don’t think you’re crazy. And I don’t think you’re a psychopath. I also don’t think you’re a sick, twisted monster. I don’t think you’re a heartless murderer, and I don’t think you deserve to die, and I don’t think you’re pathetic. Or stupid. Or a coward. I don’t think you’re any of the things people have said about you."

This. This is everything. - a au revoir Warnette fanmix; So I finished reading Ignite Me and I thought it would be nice to make something like this. This is basically how their relationship changed through books, put in songs. There is also a bonus at the end which I think sums up everything. Goodbye, Warnette. "I love you. I love you and I want you and I wanted you then. I wanted you so much and I still want you, I want you right now--" + listen

I want you to make a list of all your favorite things, and I want to be on it.
Okay so I'm finished with Ignite Me and I really loved it. Like really really loved it. And I'm a bit emotional right now
Plus, the cover of Ruin And Rising is so pretty
I am so tempted to look for Ignite Me spoilers I am almost in tears and I am starting it today but I want the ending to be a surprise
I am struggling
