As you may know, I decided to try out Kindle Unlimited when I was feeling kind of meh back in March. I read a grand total of 4 books with my two month subscription, one of them with an audiobook.
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
This is the book I read with narration added- it really helped keep my mind on track and immersed in the book. In case you missed my review, I loved this book (and I was surprised that I did!).
The Staff and the Blade (Irin Chronicles #4) by Elizabeth Hunter
I've been waiting to read this one since it came out, so it didn't take me long to read it when I realized my Kindle Unlimited subscription was waning. It was a bit of a different read for paranormal romance- a love story in short vignettes, which worked in some ways. The disappointing aspect was you sort of knew some of this story from a previous book in the series, but it couldn't be helped.
The Silent (Irin Chronicles #5) by Elizabeth Hunter
I enjoyed this book in the Irin Chronicles a bit more, as I had admired Kyra in previous books and wanted to read about her happily ever after. Since this wasn't in vignettes, I felt it flowed much better than the previous book, but this story was also much simpler.
The Selection (The Selection #1) by Kiera Cass
I wrote a mini-review on Goodreads for this one, and the gist of it is this is a fun, light read for pre-royal wedding days. Of course, I am not a YA fan usually, so this isn't one of my faves, but I read it in about a day even with my reading slump.
Kindle Unlimited
Pros:
- There is a good selection of books to choose from now!
- Really, lots of books!
- You feel like you want to read twenty after you see all the books they have available!
Look at all these books I don't have time to read! |
Cons:
- The subscription rate is rather pricey at $9.99 per month- you could buy quite a few ebooks on sale for that price.
- Although your notes in the ebook are saved, you can't access them.
- Do you really need access to that many books? Do you not have a massive TBR?
