Just finished listening to King: A Life by Jonathan Eig. Struggles. Victories. Relentless opposition. Inspiring and disheartening at the same time. I found myself surprisingly anxious as I neared the conclusion - not least due to Dion Graham's tremendous narration.

Where do we go from here? Asked by King in 1967, but the question feels more topical than ever in 2025.

#WalterMosley is one of my favorite authors and certainly my favorite living author. His latest book Every Man A King is a follow up to Down the River Unto the Sea, both apart of his new King Oliver mysteries.

In any case, the audiobooks are masterfully narrated by Dion Graham and just absolutely enjoyable.

You can find many great books and audiobooks via your local public library and listen at your leisure. Two of the most popular apps are #Libby and #Hoopla .

Libby provides e-books and audiobooks, and Hoopla delivers "audiobooks, eBooks, comics, movies, TV, magazines, or music everywhere you have a screen"

https://www.overdrive.com/apps/libby

The federal government has conveniently set up a website to help you search for your local library: https://www.usa.gov/libraries and https://www.careeronestop.org/LocalHelp/CommunityServices/find-libraries.aspx

Or you can just search for "Public Library + Your City or County and State"

I am typing all of this out real slow Riley Freeman style because people are busy and tired and sometimes forget that we have these resources at our fingertips.

Also because this is what the Republicans, third party candidates and those telling you NOT to vote want to take away from all of us.

E-books, audiobooks, movies, music and TV series available at your local public library for you, your children, your siblings, your elders and your friends, free of charge and best of all, no late charges because the content is returned automatically on the due date.

We all know this, but sometimes we get tired and we forget.

In any case, you can pop over to #FOSS @omnivore https://omnivore.app , start a free account and save any of these links as bookmarks to review at your leisure.
