I looked through the wiki and only found audio bay as a resource for audio books, which seemed limited. I’m mainly looking for non-fiction, especially of the “self help” and psychology variety. Books about dealing with mental illness or trauma to listen to while doing chores. Anxiously Attached is the main title I’ve been looking for, as an example.

      Actually yeah. I use the hell out of my library.

      Total cost, 10 minutes to go in and get my card. 18 years ago.

      Fucking love Libby.

      It even took my original library card from when I was a child. So I didn’t even have to go back in for one.

        Check if you have other library networks nearby. If you have city and county, might be 2 different library networks with more book selections. I have like 6 and some libraries even let you sign up remotely. I had a new York card for a month.

          Great idea, I just checked and unfortunately my state library system DID have online sign up, but they have a post saying it got overwhelmed during covid and they are moving it to another server….and I guess that’s going to take the normal amount of time the bureaucracy will allow…lol

      Thank you for reminding me to finally make an account. I’ve had that app downloaded for months.

    It’s a private tracker with an application to get in, but IIRC it’s fairly easy to get in - myanonamouse.net

    FWIW: MAM has Anxiously Attached but only in eBook not audiobook

    I have found most of the things I want through a combination of piratebay and 1337x for torrents, soulseek, librevox for old stuff and a library app. I have then mirrored what I have got via torrents up on to soulseek.

    I have recently been using the scribd free trial so might be worth checking there, they do a 30 day free trial then when you go to cancel the sub they will offer an additional 30 days free too.
