Can anyone recommend a good sci-fi thriller (think Alien or Contagion by Erin Bowman). I’d read Contagion but Scribd doesn’t have it.

@Jessica thank you!

Oh! And Hoopla if your library offers it. Goodreads is more for organizing your books you want to read/have read, and Hoopla is for borrowing books and other things.

I like Goodreads, and recently joined Litsy (recommended by a member from the BuzzFeed group), which is like an Instagram for books.

I got Litsy too recently, but I have 2 friends on there so I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing 😂

If you are able to get more than one library card that is the way to go because then you usually gain access to more than one library app. For instance, I have three library cards (1 county, 2 city cards) so I am able to use Libby, Hoopla, and Cloudlibrary.

Litsy is nice because the community in very involved and it’s very much like the family group that we’ve been under the buzzfeed group. I mostly use goodreads to keep track of my own reading and check reviews before I read. Not that I usually pay those reviews any mind 😆
For actual reading apps I pretty exclusively read on the kindle app on either my phone or tablet. Even library books because I can highlight and I’m used to the functionality. Libby’s ok if the kindle version is unavailable for some reason.
