Savannah | 312 comments Okay, now I'm excited. Scribd has a bunch of the books from the YA list. Scribd is so fantastic!

I'm not a big mystery fan. I don't really know why; I've just never really enjoyed them. Occasionally I enjoy a paranormal mystery, but that's like, once in a blue moon.


message 9: by Savannah (new)

Savannah | 312 comments I really want to read A Great and Terrible Beauty (Gemma Doyle, #1) by Libba Bray but since I can't find anyone who has it then I think that I am going to read Pretty Little Liars (Pretty Little Liars, #1) by Sara Shepard . Thank goodness for Scribd.

It's better, I think. I like Kindle Unlimited but Scribd has a lot more options when it comes to more popular and newer books. It also has entire series instead of just the first one or two. For example, they have the entire Immortals After Dark series. It's only $8.99 a month with a free month trial. It also has stuff you can do to earn free time, like when you share the link on Facebook, you get a free week and if any of your friends sign up through the link, you get the week plus a free month, and every email you send with the link earns you a free day. One of my Facebook friends signed up and got me a free month. You just go to scribd.com to sign up and then you can download the app. You can read the books online or download them to read them offline. I use it constantly. I love it! I don't have any stock in it or anything. :-) I just think that my friends here who read as much as I do would love it.

Do they take the ebooks back or do you keep them Savannah?


message 13: by Savannah (new)

Savannah | 312 comments Oh, it's not like that at all. You get unlimited reading time with unlimited books as long as you have the subscription. You just search for the books you want, put them in your library or onto individual shelves in Scribd that you create (kind of like here) and just pull them up whenever you want to. It isn't like Kindle Unlimited where you get 10 books and then have to return one to get another. You have access to every book they have anytime you want. I have about 100 in my library at the moment. :-) And they recently added audio books; a huge amount of the books have the audio option and you can switch back and forth between the two. And don't forget, you get a free month trial. :-)
