Hey there! Thank you for visiting my site! My name is Abbie Ball (nope, not Abigail or something like that, my parents literally named me Abbie, because life is cruel), and I’m a university student in London. As you may know, university students (and, well, students in general) read a whole lot of books. There’s our school books, our supplementary materials, additional books on the subject that can help us with projects and stuff, as well as everything that we just want to read for fun, or because we’re curious. And it’s not just us – everyone likes to read books of one type or another! Whether it’s my dad and his ‘Game of Thrones’ obsession, my mum and her (supposedly) non-fictional dramas, or my little sister and (ugh) ‘Twilight’. In my experience, even people who claim they don’t like to read love to read!
But while there’s nothing quite like the smell of a fresh book, we do live in the 21st century, and just like with everything technology has invented a way that makes reading books way easier and convenient, namely eBooks. They’re usually cheaper (sometimes even free), don’t weigh a ton and are convenient to carry around, as e-readers tend to be quite light. I know my Kindle can easily fit into my rather modest bag, and you can even read eBooks on your phone, if you’re willing to put up with the smaller screen. But not everyone knows where to look for those kinds of books – I mean, Google isn’t always helpful, and more often than not it tends to bring up results that are inconvenient, like digital books that cost twice as much as their physical counterparts or are illegal. As such, I decided to create the website that I’ve always wanted to find myself, namely a useful resource of convenient, cheap (or legally free) e-books on various topics. Keep in mind that I’d be uploading mostly books that I’ve found for myself, related to my degree or my interests, but if you have any requests feel free to contact me! Cheerio, and enjoy the site!
