The Overdrive app is one of my favorite things ever. It’s a free app that you can use with your Public Library card to check out books and read them on Kindle.
Here’s a list of some of the books I’ve read from my library for free using the Overdrive app:
Wanderlust by Rebecca Solnit. The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferris, Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver, Principles by Ray Dalio, How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan, A Colony In A Nation by Chris Hayes, Educated by Tara Westover, Hamilton the Revolution by Lin Manuel Miranda, The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman, Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, A Tale For the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki, An Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sacks… the list goes on.
Everytime I hear of a good book, I open up my Overdrive app and put it on my Wishlist, then when I need another book to read I just open up my wishlist and see what is available for checkout. Now I always have a book in my pocket wherever I go and I can keep on getting nerdier and nerdier.
The amazing thing about Overdrive , other than it being always free, is that the books return themselves. Since I started using Overdrive, I have never paid a late fee for my books, and when I check out the book again, my highlights and notes are still there.
