I admit it: I’m a sucker for deals and for Amazon First Reads. I also have Prime Reading and got pulled into a four-month free subscription to Kindle Unlimited. That’s how I’ve discovered many of these.

For the record, I’ve given up on the Chernow book and Don Quixote, at least for the foreseeable future (the next decade at least) so don’t try to convince me to finish those. However, have you heard of any of the others? Which ones would you read first?

Do you buy too many books, e- or otherwise? How do you decide what to read among them?

  2. Here. I will make you feel better. I have over 200 e-books. 217 to be precise, not counting the e-galley I am currently reading. (Please don’t ask me to share how many print books I have. It is a REALLY LARGE number.)

  3. I can’t say any of these book jump out at me. I have a ton on my Kindle too but not ones I bought so I don’t feel guilty about them being there. And I do get to them eventually but only when I am in the mood for one.

  4. Yes! For awhile there i was buying ebooks left and right whenever i’d see a $2.99 deal of the day or whatever. Then I’m like WHY AM I BUYING ALL THESE EBOOKS when I could be borrowing them from the library? So yes, I have a bunch of unread ebooks on my Kindle but at least I finally stopped buying them before not reading them. 😀

  6. Warren would tell you to read the one on Alexander Hamilton. He liked that one. I also have waaaay more unread ones in my Kindle because my account is now combined with Warren’s and it says we have 1500 books in there. Plus the ones mom reads (she’s on a sappy romance kick right now).
