You’ll have to get a library card and use that info to login. Then you’ll click on the building icon on the bottom to browse your library’s collection and the stack of books is what you have borrowed

I second this. Why do you not consider it the same thing? What do you get from reading a book that I don’t get from listening to it?

Love audiobooks! There are moments at work were what I’m doing doesn’t take much brain power and listening to an audio book helps pass the time. Libby is my go to for audiobooks, it’s free and helps support your local library.

After reading Circe by Madeline Miller I really got the craving for more so I tried The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker and was really disappointed. I think partly I misunderstood the synopsis because I thought there would be more about Helen in the book which there wasn’t. But also the writing just was not my style. If your looking for a good feminist Greek retelling I suggest Circe, The Song of Achilles was also amazing.
