I "read" this as an audiobook during my commute and really loved it. Despite not being a huge fan of audiobooks, I loved Gaiman as a reader.

Well Worth it Reading App
I love the Scribd App! This is my main source of Audiobooks because they have such a huge variety. Plus they offer most new releases in Audiobook format! I also use this app for Ebooks. My only complaint would be that they advertise as an unlimited app but in reality your access is in fact limited. Any high frequency books, or if your working your way too quickly through a series and the app will limit your access until the following month. I’ve only run into this issue a few times and this isn’t my main source for books so it didn’t affect me too much. Just be aware that it is an issue with the app.

I Downloaded it because I wanted to listen to books while I was at work or cleaning at home but unfortunately, you only get a few free audiobooks and still have to pay for the others even though you pay monthly for them. Its not worth the money.

Lists! (0 more)
I had been wanting some kind of something to keep track of everything I have read or an audiobooks I had. I had just been writing them on paper and then I was introduced to this app. I can make different and as many lists as I want. I can rate things and follow friends. I think that this is by far the best app I have ever used!

I love the Overdrive app, because it lets me carry books with me all the time. It is easy to use and I have a mile long wishlist of books because of it. The only thing that I do not like is that, I have tried to download audiobooks on my phone and they for some reason will not load. If that could be fixed I would love this app even more.

I love Libby. It is very user friendly as opposed to Overdrive. Log in with your local library membership to gain access to eBooks and audiobooks. It's great if you randomly want to read a book and it's on Libby and available. Downside is just like a library not every book is available and I once I had to wait for 2 months to get an eBook as it had been reserved by a few others before me.

I can no longer support this podcast
I really loved this podcast up until I found out some of the sketchy things that Alexa Riley (Lea & Mel) have done. They're known scammers who have book stuffed on Amazon, stolen plots from various authors and have been subsequently banned from Amazon.

I still love that you can get free professionally narrated audiobooks but I cannot listen to this podcast anymore due to the above issues.

Original Review:

I love this podcast because I get to try new authors and listen to professionally narrated audiobooks in bite-size chunks. I'm not one to listen to podcasts, so when I heard about this podcast through a Skye Warren post, I knew I needed to give it a try.

This podcast is a great way to read new authors and find some new favorites. I haven't had a chance to listen to all of them, but it has been fun catching up to the live airing and listening to all of the different novellas.

It it really does stink. I enjoyed the free audiobooks but I haven’t been able to stomach listening to the podcast since reading some of the threads on Alexa Riley.
