If you’re hunting for a free way to read 'Trinkets', my go-to is the library route — and I mean that in the enthusiastic, slightly nerdy way where I’ll renew a loan twice if I can. Many public libraries hook you up with ebook and audiobook lending through apps like Libby/OverDrive or Hoopla. I’ve borrowed modern YA and contemporary novels there more times than I can count. Search your library’s catalog, sign in with your library card, and you might get
lucky with an immediate checkout or a waitlist spot.
If the library doesn’t have it, check the Internet Archive’s lending library or
google books for limited previews; sometimes you can borrow a scanned copy through controlled digital lending. Also peek at the publisher’s site or the author’s social media — occasionally they run giveaways, sample chapters, or short-term promos. I avoid sketchy pirate sites because nothing kills the joy of discovering an author like
stolen work. For me, finding a legal free option makes the read sweeter — like finding a hidden bonus chapter.
