In the last few months I’ve read:
- Project Hail Mary, Weir
- Fall, Stephenson
- The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Gaiman
- The Ultimate Earth, Williamson
- The first four Discworld books, Pratchett
- Seven Views of Olduvai Gorge, Resnick
- A Memory Called Empire, Martine
- A Desolation Called Peace, Martine
- The first five Murderbot Diaries books, Wells
- The Imperial Radch trilogy, Leckie
- Annihilation, Vandermeer
- The Kingston Cycle trilogy, Polk
For comparison, I think I read two or three books last year. It’s starting to be a non-trivial amount of money, even though they’ve all been the ebook versions, which are generally a little cheaper. Has anyone who reads a lot of SF found Kindle Unlimited to be worth the price?
Just wanting to echo the suggestion for linking the kindle to the library. It took a while but basically I just did a massive number of books I was partially interested in (>25) and got on the waitlist. If you then don’t have time you can always defer and set the number of days to defer by (e.g. just a couple) but after only a month or so of reading new books I’ve had constant opportunities to read big name books over the year. There is also sometimes a special “skip the line” copy which can give you a bonus week reading early!
Okay, thanks
