JudithIs anyone having trouble with #BorrowBox ePress today?
Today's subscribed newspapers are not downloading and I can't even see today's papers listed.
katharinaJust finished listening to the "marble hall murders" by Anthony Horowitz on the fantastic borrowbox app. I always enjoy his books so it should come as no surprise that I loved this one, too. Also continued knitting my little scarf.

I'm listening to the #audiobook of The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams at the moment. I borrowed it from my local #library. I thought it was a little slow to get going and I nearly abandoned it but I often feel like that about books and I am glad I kept going.
It is set at the end of the 19th century and into the 20th. I'm now listening to the period of the Great War and it's heartbreaking. So much sadness; which seems even more poignant given the current state of the world.
I have about an hour and a half left to listen to but I'm going to the beach with Mum and her dog in a short while so I shall probably finish the #book this evening.
Public #libraries are great!
Yes, I have to wait my turn for some books but that just heightens the excitement. đđ

That feeling when you finish a brilliant library book, and the next in the series is out on loan #borrowbox #childrenoftime
David MasonAlso, off the back of this, if you have access to one: use your local #Library !
In the UK at least:
- Interlibrary loans are free or cheap, which gives you access to a huge catalogue
- Many have access to #Audiobooks and #eBooks via #BorrowBox
- You can access magazines! I like #Wired, #NewScientist, #BBCGoodFood, #NationalGeographic but there's many more via #Libby
Your taxes pay for this, and it's shocking how many people still pay for these #subscriptions separately!
HeatherI've discovered #BorrowBox today. I don't know if all #libraries are signed up, but through those that are, if you have a libary card, you get free access to books, magazines and papers through your phone. I've spent much of today ambling through The Rugby Paper, BBC History Magazine, a couple of naff knitting magazines and now BBC Easy Food which is giving me lots of ideas for easy meals, as I've got a bit bored with meals lately. It's an incredible system.
Finished listening to "the life impossible", Matt Haig's latest book. It is about an elderly English woman who inherits a house on Ibiza from a woman she hardly knew. She decides to travel to ibiza where she finds a mysterious note left to her by the previous house owner that will end up completely changing her life. I enjoyed this book and even decided to gift it to my mum! It's a feel good book celebrating life.
