No it’s a library system in Alabama.

Our library system uses Cloud Library and it’s so antiquated. Updates just make it worse. I wish we could use Kindle or Libby. Useage probably affects library funding.

Reply to Toxic book fans by sunforthemoon
I won’t read booktok books and I deleted TikTok A long time ago. After Verity, which I didn’t like, I won’t read boosted books. I mean c’mon. It has 200K reviews which is ridiculous.

Different situation…I couldn’t read fiction after a certain event in 2016. It was severe anxiety. I could read non-fiction but even then not much “just for fun” reading for a long time. Also, I was on social media too much and shouldn’t have been. I hope you get better with the therapy you’re receiving. It’s a really frustrating problem.

Reply to Thoughts on self-help books? by Artsyshoelace
I read 10 Percent Happier and enjoyed it. I related to Dan Harris’ anxiety issues. Tried the mindfulness and meditation so I did find it helpful since even though I’d read about meditating before, I’d never really tried it. I still meditate when I’m feeling stressed even though I’m bad at it.

I believe it. I’ve been getting cheap or free books from Prime lately. It’s so annoying.
