Thanks! I just heard about Overdrive a couple months ago. Now I'm going crazy with Goodreads Challenges. I love finding books that work for several different challenges.

Overdrive is the best :) I love it for audiobooks. Best of luck in 2018 reaching your goal. Hope you find some great books on Overdrive and otherwise :)

Thanks! Looks like my library system isn't on Hoopla yet but I live in California so I can get a Los Angeles library card next time I'm in the area. That will open up their Overdrive and Hoopla too!

Best of luck in the coming year!

Good luck with your goal and happy reading Kat!

Two months down ten to go. I hope you are enjoying your book adventures so far this year you are doing great!

April Showers bring May flowers I hope May brings lots of great reads and sunshine!
