One of my goals on my 101 in 1001 list was to read 20 Books. I have loved reading for a long time, so enjoyed this challenge a lot more than others. But I have always been hesitant to buy all of the books that I want to read, because I end up with Amazon as a large line item on my budget every month.
The Overdrive app has been a complete game changer. The app connects a library card with an Amazon account, so you can rent books for free! My biggest complaint is that the books can only be checked out for 14 days, but if you are reasonable about not checking out too many books at a time, then it is no problem at all!
Even though the challenge is now over, I think I’ll continue logging the books that I read here :)
