I prefer physical copies but I get that digital has it’s own advantages. I tend to wishlist graphic novels on ComiXology and wait for them to go on sale. They email you when they are on sale so it’s pretty convenient. I’ve managed to pick up a fair number of graphic novels for around $4.99 during these big sales events. It’s not cheap reading but it is cheap reading legally. Plus the creators get paid based on the number of rights managed copies sold so it’s a win-win for everyone if you can be patient for a few months.

I have checked a few of my normal haunts for this and it seems Yonder have it locked down tight. The best way to read this as a legal download would be to sign up for their in-app model and purchase a daily pass to read it. All other claims to download the full novel as a cheaper option are scams. The story is very hot right now, with two possessive twin anti-heroes, so I’d recommend signing up for the app for a bargainous binge read.

Man, this discussion about grinding for chapters for ‘The Perks of Being a Villainess’ brings back memories of farming for potions in older MMOs. Webnovel has successfully gamified reading. Instead of wolf pelts for grinding in a story, you’re farming ad-watches for this novel. The end destination is the same for both types of stories, though. And yes, it’s a grind, but it’s worth reading if you don’t mind, and the official site is the only place you can start reading this for real without getting a virus full of garbage instead. That means no other site but the official site.

You can often find free libraries or access to e-books in English at cultural institutes or embassages. More often, classics are promoted through reading, but recently, there are also modern YA novels included in the collections, often because they were made into a movie and promote cross-cultural understanding in a positive way. This is a very long shot and very location specific, but in big, cosmopolitan cities, such programs exist. I’d have to go to a cultural center or look up an obscure website. But reading an American YA novel in a free library of a French institute or a British council library is quite an amusing idea. It would add an international touch to the extremely American world of Lara Jean Covey.

Of course, there’s a lot of fun in comparing book to show. But unlike the very faithful first season of television, there are large and soon increasing deviations from the original text as the season goes on. To do this sort of comparison, you’d really need to read the whole, unedited text – something that a free sample would not be able to give you past the introductory setup.
The free sample is like the pilot episode of a show. If you like the pilot, you can then subscribe to the channel to watch the rest of the episodes. There is no way to stream an entire TV show for free on its official network (unless you have a subscription). Bookstores work in much the same way as TV networks – the free sample is your free trial, and then you go to the library or buy the book as a subscriber.

I tried to download a free ebook version of a really popular novel a few years ago. It was a complete nightmare. Endless popups, “download” buttons that turned out to be ads, and then the file would be in some weird format or half-corrupted. So for a really romantic novel like this, it’s just not worth the stress of trying to find a free ebook version when you can get a borrowed copy of it for free. My two cents: if your library doesn’t have it and the waitlist is crazy long, see if they have a reciprocal agreement with a larger library system in your state. For a small fee (or even free if you’re a resident of the state) you can get a card to the big city library and they have huge digital collections with much shorter wait times for popular items. It’s kind of worth your time to look into expanding your library access to read way more free stuff than you could get off of some shady website.

Recently free titles I have read came through my local library’s e-catalog. After that I check authors’ Patreon pages, even Wattpad, where sometimes authors will post additional works (such as sequels) in progress, even early drafts. The recently published title of ‘How It All Began’ might be difficult to read for free, but titles like these sometimes turn up in used book exchanges and in ‘pay what you like’ sales. The publisher occasionally surprises subscribers to the publisher’s newsletter with free copies.

While it’s possible to find great books on any platform (free or paid), the platforms themselves matter less than your ability to filter and the information you get from other readers. Learning to use advanced search operators can help you find more of what you need on any platform. For example, AO3 allows you to exclude tags, pair up characters, and set a word count. Google search can also be filtered by using “site:[website URL]” followed by your search terms to only look for information within a single website. Furthermore, word of mouth is valuable. Find a reviewer on Goodreads or a Twitter user who reads in a similar vein to yourself and they can alert you to free books, new authors publishing on free platforms, and even older archives of books that you may have otherwise missed. Essentially, the best sources of information are not necessarily the most obvious, and it is building a network of sources that will provide the most relevant information to you as a reader.

I totally understand the appeal of free books and right now for The Netanyahus there aren’t many free options besides borrowing from a library. I actually read half of the books for my book club through the app Libby with my library card. I wouldn’t normally promote pirate sites but I do feel strongly that we should be paying authors for their work. Perhaps you could ask a friend if they have a copy that you could borrow from them? That’s how we share the good books in my book club!

I think the first volume of Ouran can and should be given to kids on the cusp of their teenage years, and that it does a wonderful job of keeping things completely pure and of exploring romantic attraction in a completely healthy and thoughtful way. The conflicts arise from the characters’ feelings about themselves and their place in society, not from some adult scenario that has been introduced for the sake of conflict. I would suggest 12/13 years old as the ideal starting point, but it is so mild that I wouldn’t be remotely worried if a 10 year old picked up the first volume and was pleased by the simple but sweet friendships and cute illustrations. As the volumes progress, they delve into more complex issues of mental health, but they do so with immense care and so the series really does grow up with the reader. It is cleverly designed.
