56,45€ that I didn’t have to pay

There is a small lifehack to use in my library: twice a week or so, they massively add new books. First came first served principle. Otherwise, it’ll take weeks to get some of those books, if not months. So, I diligently look through the “newest added” section. Today those 3 were added and I have downloaded them on my Pocketbook. If you look at the screenshot, in pinkish red are the prices for Kindle (I didn’t check kobo store or ebooks.com, but it can’t be very far apart). 56,45€. The library card is 10€ per year.

Yeah, no conclusions needed here 🥸

p.s. 99 ways has been on my wish list for a while, so I am glad even more

Fry a day keeps gloom away

For the last weeks I have been marathoning the books of Stephen Fry about Ancient Greek Myths. The order is completely jumbled as I get the audiobooks from the library on Libby (VÖBB in Berlin gets a shoutout every time!). Today I have started the 3rd book about Troy, after completing and thoroughly enjoying Odyssey and Myths. And boy Mr. Fry makes mood better with his voice alone!
