It's a fantastic site for international book bloggers like myself to be in with a chance of getting ARCs. <br /><br />I love libraries. I paid just €5 for a year library card and it means I can check out films, and music, as well as books. I can order in copies of books they don't have on the shelves, and get to go to events they organise. My library card also gets me discounts at a whole bunch of other places including events, museums, cinemas, etc... I consider my library card one of my best annual investments.Jo Linsdellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171614924012108261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700796366656778335.post-16490819058371835692019-02-07T12:14:27.724+01:002019-02-07T12:14:27.724+01:00I've not tried booksprout yet but I LOVE Net G...I've not tried booksprout yet but I LOVE Net Galley.

As I live in Italy I don't always get approved when requesting copies though as I'm out of their geographic target. I have a very international following and so feel it isn't always fair. I have received some awesome books though and been put in touch with some great publishers and authors through the site.Jo Linsdellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171614924012108261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700796366656778335.post-89487981943057683962018-05-24T12:09:00.448+02:002018-05-24T12:09:00.448+02:00I love the Amazon KDP program... both as a reader ...I love the Amazon KDP program... both as a reader and as an author :)Jo Linsdellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171614924012108261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700796366656778335.post-72575000451024904752018-05-24T12:07:34.853+02:002018-05-24T12:07:34.853+02:00The struggle is real...

Piracy is a real problem for us authors and so not necessary. By bringing attention to ways readers can get books for free I hope it will help them realise that they don't need to use pirate sites that rip off authors.

They cut the hours down, so only open on certain days and it is always full of kids messing around (they have a huge computer section in the main part of the library). A lovely one I used to go to shut down due to budget cuts.Whispering Storieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05240594888727791665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700796366656778335.post-53856757313429402902018-05-24T05:06:01.442+02:002018-05-24T05:06:01.442+02:00I love this!
