It’s more that I’m spending more than I should on all the books!

According to my gf audible and “The Martian”. Apparently the books way better and the audio book is WAY better than both.

Not sure where you are, but getting a library card could help. Many now offer ebooks and audio books for free (rentable online)

I don’t have any particular site recs, but your first listen should definitely be Bad Blood by John Carreyrou about Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos. Was absolutely amazing 🙌🏼

My local library is on Libby :) the wait for popular books can get long, but my library is in a massive network and has everything! And it’s free!

Libby is the best I’ve found that’s free. The app doesn’t provide as much functionality as Audible but it’s free 🤷🏻‍♂️
