Nyssa, who is expecting a bout of bad weather here, so more

Do you use Libby and Hoopla digital? With your local library card

you

can get access to thousands of ebooks. Libby is tied into my

state's

library system, so I can find books that my own library doesn't

have.

Between them and arcnive.org and its affiliate openlibrary.org I

can

usually find everything I want to read.

 My main go-to for ebooks is libgen.is. lt's got a huge
database including history, tech, and science non-fiction
plus some older publications. I find enough of what
I'm looking for to keep my Kindles fat and happy.
 Another site I check each moring is ebookhunter.net.
but just for category/suspnse, especially for new
releases. Most of what they have is romance and
historical fiction (romances set in the past) which
I don't care for at all, but I've found some new-to-me
authors in the suspense/thriller section that also
has cozy mysteries.
 Most are in epub format, but Calibre fixes that
for Kindle consumption.
 Give it a try; you might find that one book that
seems to have disappeared on other sources.

Yeah I hate that one book is not to be found in a whole series. I just ran into that with Ian Rankin, the second to last book published in the Rebus series isn't anywhere, even though the latest books is. And from the blurb, it sets up the later  book. So I requested it from my library, they usually end up buying a book if they've got most of the series already.

front moving in as she types
 

Ours just left, and most of the snow melted. I'm going to go out for a short walk this afternoon.
