Top Ten Tuesdays #403: Kindle Unlimited

Posted April 4, 2023 / Top 10 Tuesdays, Weekly Memes / 2 Comments

Indie/Self-Published Books Kindle Unlimited Books on my TBR Top Ten Tuesdays were started by The Broke and the Bookish and are now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, where we make lists of our top ten books (or something else!) based on that week’s prompt. The topics are provided ahead of time and can be found here. Book links bring you to Goodreads or my review. I really don’t read a lot of self-published books, I’m sorry to say! I haven’t had a ton of success with them in the past and usually have too many reading commitments to even dip my toe into that pool. It seems like a slippery slope with tons of romance and fantasy options! I know Kindle Unlimited has a good amount of self-published and indie books so I thought I would share some books on KU that are on my TBR. I don’t subscribe regularly but last year I got one month of KU to read a few books and am really glad I did. I can see myself doing that more often in the future, so this is a good place to track those things!

The Bookmark Lit Bulletin wraps up the last month in reading and what was on the blog, as well as what’s coming up next. You can check out my book haul, books read, posts shared, challenge updates, etc. You can read past bulletins here. If you’re looking for more personal updates, you can check out my Lauren Lately feature; it highlights my life events and non-bookish fun from the previous 30 days. I really cruised in March! If I thought January and February were good reading months, March totally killed it. I’m excited to be at an even thirty books read to this point, averaging to 10 books per month. I really think I’m going to blow my reading challenge out of the water haha. I planned for 80 books but at this rate, I’ll hit the goal around August and keep rolling. The secret goal in my head is 100 books but I don’t want to update my Goodreads challenge. 12 books in March 11 read • 1 reread • 0 DNF Pages read: 3771 • Average rating: 4.04 stars Genres: 5 mystery/thriller, 4 contemporary, 1 nonfiction, 1 historical fiction, 1 literary fiction Formats: 4 egalley, 3 mixed format, 3 paperback, 1 ebook, 1 hardcover Sources: 4 purchased, 4 review, 4 library Age Target: 11 adult, 1 young adult Here are all the books I read this month and the challenges they applied to!
