So many books, so little time

So I'm not sure where to begin this post but I'll start off with that I've been visually impaired for almost a decade now. Reading books without the aid of magnification is almost impossible and as a kid who grew up reading everything I could get my hands on it was kind of depressing as my condition slowly progressed.

I ended up getting a kindle and that was great for awhile, I could read on the bus and increase the font size and it was great. I could read a little bit every day on my way to work or to school and it was great. But then as time progressed I started to lose even more of my vision and it became more and more difficult to focus my eyes and stay on track with the kindle.

I started using audible last year and it really was a gamechanger for me, I was burning through a book a week and I had years of reading to catch up on. I told everyone about my new 'hobby' and it wasn't until my brother recommended the app "Libby" to me that my life truly changed. It's like audible, but FREE. I'm sure other people have talked about the app before on this subreddit but I'm still telling everyone I talk to who reads about this app.

I still can't get over how easy it is to use, how I've been able to read hundreds of dollars worth of books in a couple months for free from the public library AND get amazing recommendations from them as well. Sure there's a bit of a wait list, but after using the app for a month it's hard not to build up a small catalogue of books on hold that are automatically delivered to your phone on a weekly basis.

Anyway, I couldn't be more excited to be able to immerse myself in books again. These last few months have really been a gamechanger for me, I've been able to catch up on almost a decade of reading and I don't plan on stopping for awhile.
