RE: This is What Happens When I Neglect My Reading

in #life7 years ago

I know the feeling. I have a Kindle that fills quicker than I can keep up with it. Although I have been on a reading frenzy of late, compared to other times. There's just so many good books to read.

Sort:  

I have a Kindle that fills up quicker than I can keep up with it.

Me too! I subscribe to BookBub and another daily email that sends me deals on Kindle books in the genres that I love. So I'm always getting free or 99 cent books, probably two or three a week. There's no way I can keep up at my current pace. But at least if the zombie apocalypse happens, I will be prepared! (um...actually, I guess I have to make sure all of those books are downloaded onto the Kindle before the zombie apocalypse happens, and that I have some way to charge the Kindle while I'm on the run or holing up in a makeshift fortress. I guess I'd better get to work on that!)

I wondered about BookBub. Something I may take a look at, although it just adds to my reading list. Still, there are worse things that could happen in this world. Like the zombie apocalypse occurring when my Kindle is out of charge.

I like BookBub a lot. You can choose what genres you prefer to hear about deals in, and they have a very rigorous selection process, so I rarely go wrong when I click on one of their offers. Another service I like is Book Barbarian. It's science fiction and fantasy specific, and it has a less rigorous selection process than BookBub. This can sometimes lead to some crappy books being listed in their daily emails, but it is good in that it allows you to see a lot of stuff written by newer and lesser known indie authors. I actually found my favorite book that I read last year on Book Barbarian. (It's called Clovenhoof, if you're interested. It's the hilarious story of how Satan gets kicked out of hell for failing to meet his quotas, and ends up living in London with a couple of quirky neighbors.)
