![]() ![]() ![]() I mainly use my subscription to fuel my never-ending, all-consuming obsession with reading romance. Or if you’re looking for thrills and chills, bestsellers like Jeneva Rose’s psychological twist-fest The Perfect Marriage and Freida McFadden’s The Housemaid. You’ll also find critically-acclaimed fiction titles like The Night Tiger by Yangsze Choo, Of Women and Salt by Gabriela Garcia, and The Other Black Girl by Zakiya Dalila Harris (another book I really enjoyed). There are also seriously, seriously good offerings in the nonfiction department, like Carmen Maria Machado’s In the Dream House (which I read and loved last year), Token Black Girl by Danielle Prescod, and the true crime smash I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer by Michelle McNamara. But - a big but!!! - are the bulk of the books included in that three million actually good and/or worthwhile? If you didn’t subscribe to KU, would you still even bother reading them? That’s the bigger (and most important) question, to me.įor example, I read Every Last Fear by Alex Finlay on Kindle Unlimited last October, which ended up being a very good thriller (from a great author - his book The Night Shift is one of my favorite thrillers, ever). Pretty much everything! You can read all day, every day, 24/7, 365, and never run out of reading material on KU as I mentioned above, they have a catalog of over three million titles. OK, now talk to me about the books - what can I read on Kindle Unlimited? There have been plenty of times I’ve forgotten my Kindle on my way to work, but the app still offers me a way to read on my commute. I also like that KU is available on both my actual Kindle and on the Kindle app, which I can access on both my laptop and phone. It works like a library in the sense that they “loan” you up to 20 books at a time, and you can take your sweet time reading them - there’s no hard due date in place. (Also worth pointing out that Kindle Unlimited is different from Prime Reading, which is included in an Amazon Prime subscription.) It grants you unlimited access to a catalog of over three million titles, and that’s not just standard novels or nonfiction - KU includes audiobooks, comics, and magazines as well. ![]() On the surface, signing up for a Kindle Unlimited subscription makes sense if you’re the type of book fanatic looking to read as much as possible for as little money as possible, assuming you don’t already belong to your local library. (Size of your TBR pile notwithstanding.)įirst, the nitty-gritty: how does Kindle Unlimited even work? Truman and the Four Months That Changed the World: I like history and this sounds like an interesting story with good reviews.A friend recently posed a very serious, life-or-death question of the utmost importance to me: is subscribing to Kindle Unlimited (KU) worth it? Especially now that its monthly fee has increased from $9.99 to $11.99(+ taxes), as of May 11? And my answer is that, mainly, is that it depends on how many books you truly, genuinely read a month. Will I make it through all 14 books? Who knows, but I will surely give the first one a shot. ![]() When I heard there was a series about the greatest Western legend gaining immortality, I had to add it to my reading list. The Immortal Doc Holliday: Hidden: I love all things Doc Holliday.I love a good suspenseful book, so I fully intend on immersing myself in this one during my trial. The Silent Patient: I had to do a double take when I saw that this thriller had over 275,000 reviews on Amazon with a 4.4 out of 5 rating.Now that I have Kindle Unlimited, I can finally learn how to subtly care less without being careless. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life: This self-help book has been on my reading list for a while, but I never ended up buying it.It's part of the Crowns of Nyaxia series, so if you enjoy the first one, you could be sucked in for a long time unless you're a ridiculously fast reader. The Serpent and the Wings of Night: This book is insanely popular on Kindle Unlimited with over 50,000 reviews.As such, here are a few books I added to my reading that I plan to work my way through during the three-month trial period (and maybe beyond if it takes me longer to read all of them). I signed up as soon as I saw this deal, as it's just too cheap not to try it. ![]()
