Kindle Unlimited Update

Okay. I admit that I was a little skeptical when I decided to enroll in the Kindle Unlimited plan. I wondered if I'd be able to read enough to make the deal worthwhile. After the first 30 days, I can say that I'm totally sold on the program. In 30 days, I read 18 novels for "free" plus an uncounted number of non-fiction cookbooks, craft books and "how to save money" books. At $10/month, that's 55 cents per novel with instant access. Not too bad.

The intangible benefit is that I was able to discover a few new favorite authors that I probably wouldn't have tried at $5-$10 per e-book. Among my favorites novels were "The Art Forger" by B.A. Shapiro and "Death in Bordeaux" by Allan Massie. (Look for reviews of these two books soon.)  I haven't even started on the classic mysteries available on the program yet; I've been too busy with contemporary books.

I'll be sure to let you know what I discover next month.
