They have a nice selection also.
Best thing I done was put the library extension on chrome. Now when I am on a amazon book page and a goodreads book page, it pulls up the options of all 3 libraries right there on the page.
This year I'll be heavily using the library and reading the books I already own, of which there are many. I have books from 2008 still and I am not going to buy a lot of stuff anymore. Some of the stuff I bought years ago, I am not sure if I am even wanting to read now. Thankfully I got also a lot of historicals, back list and then new stuff that I will always want to read. But I think it was 2011-13 where I went nuts with the sales.

I can't justify buying books when we need so many things. The library is the best option for me. My local library only carries recent titles and their overdrive selection is next to nothing so for $50 a year for Brooklyn and I do have FLP I can get a title if I need it most of what I read isn't popular so I don't have to wait long. I also concur that they are great buying books you recommend.
