OceanofPDF: back in business!
I was combing through my old posts and landed on the one I made when I first found the site. Clicked on the link just bc I was curious, and it took me to the website! Looks different, so I wasn't sure if it was legit or not, but then I went ahead and downloaded a book (The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner bc ofc I did) and turns out it's up and running, works perfectly well!
Reading the Reddit thread r/piracy on the topic, it sounds like they have some of the latest releases as well, so go check em out.

Coraline by Neil Gaiman
"Gaiman" is pronounced "gay-min" btw. Confused me for the longest time bc I wasn't sure if it was that, or if it was "guy-min", but I watched an interview where they asked him the question so now I know and am passing it onto you so that you don't make any mistakes when you talk about your favorite book (which is probably Coraline bc it's such a fun creepy book). Because your favorite is Coraline, here's a pdf:

23 Books to Read When You're Stressed
Inspired by The Honest Avocado's list of "Five Books to Read When You're Stressed", I decided to make a (much longer) list of my own. The links embedded in the title of each book will take you to Goodreads, for those of you who want to add any to your TBR list, and the second link that I give at the end will take you to a website where you can read it online for free.
Will be adding to this list as I come across more books! Will also flesh out the list so that there's more variety, and will probably add a reason for each book, so that you can read about each one, similar to the way Honest Avocado does their list.
1. The Milly-Molly-Mandy Storybook by Joyce Lankester Brisley (z-lib.org) (OverDrive)
2. Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo (PDF)
3. A Long Way From Chicago by Richard Peck (PDF) (OverDrive)
4. A Year Down Yonder by Richard Peck (the "sequel" to A Long Way From Chicago, and just as good, and relaxing) (OverDrive) (Archive.org)
5. How to Eat Fried Worms by Thomas Rockwell (PDF)
6. Little Pear by Eleanor Frances Lattimore (Archive.org)
7. I, Juan de Pareja by Elizabeth Borton de Treviño (I read this whenever I'm feeling sick, fsr it's such a calming book. Similar lull to The King's Fifth by Scott O'Dell, but with less unhappiness) (World Documents)
8. Black Horses for the King by Anne McCarthy (Archive.org) (silo.pub)
9. James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl (PDF) (Yumpu) (All Free Novel) (PubHTML5) (onlinereadfreebooks)
10. Miss Buncle's Book by D.E. Stevenson (and every single book of that series, it's so relaxing and calming because it's set in such a sleepy town where nothing goes on) (Archive.org)
11. The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall (first three are really good at destressing) (OverDrive - there are a billion and one ways to read each of the books in the series online, so I'll leave that up to you. If you search each FULL title and then stick "read free online" to the end of each search, it comes up with the most options)
12. The Melendy Quartet by Elizabeth Enright (same thing here as with the Penderwicks series - take the full title of each book and add "read free online" to the end of it and then hit search and it should pull up a bunch of options)
13. Kirie, Pirie, and Kalikoolin's Pipe by Edward Maze (no online version available)
14. Fair Weather by Richard Peck (Archive.org)
15. The Magician's Elephant by Kate DiCamillo (PDF)
16. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo (PDF) (Yumpu)
17. Meet Me In St. Louis by Sally Benson (no online version available)
18. Hokey Pokey by Jerry Spinelli (z-lib.org) (onlinereadfreebooks)
19. Frenchman's Creek by Daphne du Maurier (onlinereadfreenovel)
20. The Invisible Heart: An Economic Romance by Russell Roberts (z-lib.org)
21. Lily's Crossing by Patricia Reilly Giff (z-lib.org) (onlinereadfreebooks) (OverDrive) (LearningAlly - only if you have an account)
22. Willow Run by Patricia Reilly Giff (z-lib.org) (onlinereadfreebooks)
23. The Language of Spells by Garret Weyr, Freymann-Weyr (z-lib.org) (if you make an account with Epic, where you can only read one book for free per day, but it's available there if you want to read it)

Links to Fiction Books I Want To Read Soon
All links open in new tab, unless specified. If you enjoyed the book, please consider buying it! My personal recommendation is (and will always be) Thriftbooks, an online resource for getting second-hand, steeply discounted books that would otherwise be left to gather dust as someone buys a brand new one off of Amazon. Please support your local book stores and libraries, as well as buying second hand to minimize the number of new editions and printings made every year! I've listed the lowest price of each book (usually condition is Acceptable, but Good condition is only a few cents more) so that you can compare prices to Amazon, but prices can get up to $50 for hardbacks, special editions, and newly released/published books. In general, if it's a book that's been around for awhile, or isn't in great condition, you'll get a great bargain, but keep in mind that it's not a new book and you will be paying for shipping ($5 if you're in the US, much higher if you're outside of it).
Note: if you make an account with thriftbooks, you get 8 points for every $1 spent, and a free book for every 500 points earned! If you're going to be buying books anyway, you might as well get points, and eventually a free book, for doing so!
✓ Greensleeves Eloise Jarvis McGraw (not yet available on Thriftbooks)
✓ Crossings: A Novel Alex Landragin (link will take you to BooksVooks which gives you the option to read the mobile version, read the PDF version, or download it. You need permission to access the downloaded file, and you can't highlight things in the "pdf" version, so I would pick the mobile version, personally. If you do go with the PDF, the book starts on page 11) ($5.79 on Thriftbooks) (I just bought it on Thriftbooks because if you're planning on reading the Baroness sequence and jumping around the book, you can't do that online, it isn't set up for that and nobody's page numbers line up with the book's. I'm working on it and hopefully my version will have this option so that you can click on a link and it'll either take you to a different spot on the same page or if that's not feasible on this platform, then the link will take you to an entirely new page)
✓ The Midnight Library: A Novel Matt Haig (alternate format - you can either read in continuous or swipe version) (PDF version here, format is good.) (also available on OverDrive) ($22.56 on Thriftbooks)
✓ The Priory of the Orange Tree Samantha Shannon ($8.59 on Thriftbooks) (can also download from Z-Library if you have an account. It's free, and you get 10 downloads per day if you have an account, and then you can access it on any platform)
Life of Pi Yann Martel (PDF version here, format is better.) ($3.99 on Thriftbooks)
Fahrenheit 451 Ray Bradbury (there are a bunch of different options for reading online, I picked my favorite non-PDF but if you don't like the format, just google "fahrenheit 451 read free online" and you can have your pick) (PDF version here) ($3.99 on Thriftbooks)
Far From The Madding Crowd Thomas Hardy (I usually pick the HTML version) ($3.99 on Thriftbooks)
The Madness of Crowds Douglass Murray (available on OverDrive) ($17.79 on Thriftbooks) (couldn't find it online, but idc bc my dad owns a copy so I'll just borrow it from him lol)
The Starless Sea Erin Morgenstern (alternate format) (PDF version) ($25.79 on Thriftbooks, so I would go to Amazon if you want to save money. Or look at eBay or FB marketplace)
The Night Circus Erin Morgenstern (downloaded from z-lib.org, just have to actually start it)
The March E.L. Doctorow (going to download from z-lib.org when I get around to actually reading it)
The Humans Matt Haig
Dune (Dune #1) Frank Herbert
Time Enough For Love Robert A. Heinlein
the Agatha Christie website is by far the coolest place to go in 2021
forget the Bahamas, have you been to the home of Agatha Christie. The online home, I mean. The site that says "home of Agatha Christie" at the top. It's got so many resources - FIRST, you have a complete and comprehensive list of not only the murder mysteries she wrote, but the plays, the short stories, and the un-murder mysteries (eg, Mary Westmacott). You can filter these by detective, and you can also filter them by A-Z or first published. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you can DOWNLOAD A HERCULE POIROT READING LIST or a Miss Marple reading list, OR A COMPLETE AGATHA CHRISTIE READING LIST!
It gets better. They have multiple reading lists. Some way more personalized ones, some way more quirky ones, and some way more cool ones.
You can also look through the film and TV section, which is exactly what you'd expect, a full list of all the adaptions made so far. You can also visit their YouTube channel. What they do there, and whether it's as cool and helpful as their website, I have no idea.
There is also a list of characters that she has in her stories. I was surprised to find that Inspector Japp, Superintendent Battle, Captain Hastings, and Colonel Race aren't on there. I thought for sure they'd make the list before Harley Quin or Parker Pyne did because they're such notable, well-known characters. At least in Colonel Race's case, since he actually has (what, four?) books where he stars as the detective.
And at the very bottom you can sign up for their newsletter.
Come, see, and conquer the world of Agatha Christie, you won't regret it.
The King of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner 📘
Step one: google "docs.google.com king of attolia" and it should appear as the third or fourth link. Click on it.
Step two: it'll take you to this page -
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwkbZYEnTycjYzJiMzU4ZTEtYjIzMC00MWFkLWEyNzMtZDRhZDNiYTQ5ZWY5/edit
Step three: click the download button in the upper right hand corner and it'll download the pdf immediately. Click on the folder, click on the file, it'll open in a new tab and you can read it. If you delete the file, it'll keep it open on the window and let you come back to it. If you want to jump straight to the PDF file, not sure if this will work, but try clicking this link and skipping steps 1 and 2:
This is my favorite book of the series, rivaling The Thief so plz enjoy.

The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner 📒
if that doesn't work, click this link:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwkbZYEnTycjNzZlMDJiMGQtNmNhNy00M2VkLWFhYTgtZTNmOWRjZTgxMDJh/ (click on the download thing in the upper righthand corner, should download immediately. Once downloaded, click on the folder, then on the PDF, it'll open in a new tab and you can delete the file and read it online)
if neither of those work, google "docs.google.com queen of attolia", and it'll be the first link. Then follow instructions for the second link up there ^

Agatha Christie books 📚
Free resource, you can read all 91 works of Agatha Christie's here, as well as choose which format to read them in (epub, mobi, pdf, online, etc)
I used the website to read One, Two, Buckle My Shoe in PDF format, it's not a scam site, just hard to get around lol I wouldn't suggest using the read online option, the format is a bit wonky and it's hard to flip pages. It's broken up weirdly and I have a hard time following what's going on. Your best bet would be PDF, but if they don't have that option for the book you're look at, I would probably look elsewhere. I tried both the epub and mobi format and it took me to a 404 error page.
Though it might be my wifi because there's a thunderstorm going on right now, and when I tried to get back to the main page of the website, it took me to the same error page so I give up.

(another list of Agatha Christies you can read, for free, completely legally. This is not a comprehensive list, but still includes links to the books you can legally read for free: https://bonafidebookworm.com/read-agatha-christie-books-online-free/)
Another link:
I haven't checked, so I have no idea, but the link below might have all of her books. I glanced through the list and there are a lot there, but a lot as in there were about 10 on that first page - so they might have all 80+ or they might not.

websites that have The Scarlet Pimpernel series online for free 📚
I always send people to blakeneymanor.com to read the Scarlet Pimpernel series, but there are other websites out there that not only have the TSP series but others as well and if you don't like the layout of blakeneymanor (I'm really picky about the layout I read in fsr. I don't care when it's a physical copy but it has to be one I like when I read on the computer because otherwise I have a hard time focusing on what I'm reading. Don't ask me why), here are some alternate options
