Libby exists...at least support your local library.

[(Anonymous)]

i really don't think there is anything gained from poor people denying themselves pleasure in life to maintain some vague idea of moral purity

[(Anonymous)]

I really don't see anything wrong with this and I don't understand why you'd feel bad about it. If the book isn't available at my library or through Libby, I just don't read it. I don't want to buy a book based on the summary and then end up hating it and feeling like I wasted my money. That being said, have you tried NetGalley for free books, OP?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think you should have to feel so guilty for not paying for things you want to consume. This is a byproduct of capitalism. Being poor shouldn't be a reason as to why you can't have access to books or movies or tv shows or music, etc. We need art to enjoy life and want to keep living life is to enjoy it! Art is important. Please try your best to remember that you alone not paying for the things you consume isn't going to hurt anyone. I mean, I do enjoy purchasing things for fandoms when I can afford it but I've been poor enough that I could barely pay my phone bills, and I would download music and burn CDs at a friends' house. Print fanfics at the library so I can read them when my phone had no service or I was at home where we didn't always have access to the internet. Got books, magazines, DVDs and CDs from the library <3

OH! And there was this Asian general store where they sold bootleg DVDs of new theatre releases! Once bought "Gone Girl" the weekend after it came out in theatres for $3. My brother got that "X-Men First Class Wolverine" bootleg with the unfinished graphics and stunts for I think the same price the weekend that movie came out. I remember thinking the ending was so bad that I was like, "No. This can't be the real ending right? Because it's REALLY bad." LOL

You know who else is broke AF? A lot of authors, because a lot of people seem to think they don't deserve to get paid.

I tried to use the look inside thing on amazon yesterday and it didn't work

[(Anonymous)]

Why? Libraries exist and are free. I mean, I get this when it comes to movies, tv, or music. Yes, libraries have some of them , but much less so. But most books are accessible either physically or electronically through libraries.

Why do it an illegal way when you can do it a legal way?

[(Anonymous)]

Omg USE. THE. LIBRARY. It's a win/win - authors get recognition (and libraries buying their books), the library gets funding based on how many people use it, and so the library can get more books and provide more services.

[(Anonymous)]

That's what libraries are *for* though.

[(Anonymous)]

On one hand, I think it’s fairly common for people who actually can afford things to use “I’m just too broke to afford it” as an excuse to not pay for something when they can get away with it. Which sucks.

On the other hand, another thing that is sadly common is fucking poverty. So if someone really is scraping by with little to no disposable income, then I don’t personally have any issue with them getting their media for free however they can--though I would argue that their local library should be their first resource, especially for written works.

[(Anonymous)]

Hey OP - just checking, you know you can put in requests for books at the library? As in, you fill out a form and they will try to buy it.

Not being facetious here - librarians love it when patrons give them some indication of what they want to see, and the author wins too.

[(Anonymous)]

Does your public library offer ebooks? Mine does, and it's a ridiculously straightforward process to get the books on your phone. You don't get to keep them but at least you don't need to waste energy trying to find a way to access them.

Not a Bloody Roar fan technically but I feel you with every fiber of my being, OP.

Agree. I know animals die in the wild all the time. I do NOT need some extended death scene (where ten docu crew are watching some poor creature suffer horribly), paired with sappy 'sad' music or over-dramatic 'tragic' voice over.

As someone who struggled through book 4 before giving up, you're better off.

The thing is, before Martin, that was never a worry for me. If the cover said it was part of a trilogy, then you got a trilogy. Books might end up late, sometimes, but it was never for years on end.

Nay & Yay!

[tabaqui]

Nay - Woke up feeling like absolute shite; sore throat, congested, dizzy.

Yay - Got the doggo (dog sitting for exSO) to walk up and down her ramp (used to get into the car) several times, both in the house (propped on books), and into my car. Previously, she had utterly refused (though I think some kind of stairs would be better for her than the ramp, but it's something). She has arthritis in her hips and we gotta do something for her.
