Reading interrupted? There’s an app for that

That guy next to you is chewing so loud it sounds like it’s coming from inside your own head. All you want is to start the next chapter in the book you’re reading, since last night left off with a cliffhanger, and you need answers. But the chewing. And the siren in the background. And that tapping or clicking, where is it coming from? Is the universe designed to keep you distracted from the plot resolution you so desperately crave?

Don’t despair. Whether you’re curled up at home or out on the move, the Libby app makes it easy to keep your story going and your head in the clouds. Start a chapter on your device when you’re falling asleep in bed, then pick up right where you left off through its audio counterpart on your morning walk or commute. Block out the chewing and the chatter and get to the good stuff, in your zone. To get you started, we’ve rounded up some standout titles available in both ebook and audiobook formats, perfect for any mood, any moment.
