Old Books On My Kindle

It all started about 10 years ago. My husband had bought me an ereader before, but it was a Nook Paperwhite (totally opened up my world as far as books go). This time he got me a tablet and I downloaded the Kindle app on it. I didn't have Kindle Unlimited so I was limited in the books I could read. Most of my books were freebies shared through deal blogs. I bought a few books along the way too. I have over 5,000 books on my Kindle now. Obviously I can't list all my favorites and maybe I will have follow up posts on this blog.

A bunch of self-help and how-to books
When I first got my Kindle most free books posted on blogs posted these kinds of books for free. I have read a few of them, but most I'm just waiting to read. Favorites are probably the Crystal Paine books about money. I bought those. Still haven't finished them.

The Indebted Series by Pepper Winters
They may be on Kindle Unlimited. I don't know. I bought mine before I had Kindle Unlimited. But, I will tell you, this series got me into dark, edge of your seat romance. I don't know if I'll reread them, but I won't get rid of them. This six book series are not stand alone novels you must read them in order.

Pride And Prejudice, and Emma by Jane Austen
I have read Pride And Prejudice several times. I'm trying to read it again, but I keep getting distracted by new contemporary romance novels. Emma is one I've never read, but I've seen the movies and I'd love to read the book. Goals.

Dandelion Jane by A.R. Stanley
A.R. Stanley is a friend of mine. We have spent many hours side by side writing. Both as kids and as adults. She has realized her dream of being a published author. This is actually the first of a trilogy. Embarrassingly I have not even read this first one. I keep telling myself to read and review it, because that's what a good friend does. I just haven't yet.

A whole lot of M.N. Forgy novels
No I have not read all of them, but they were all paid for. At the time she did not post her books to Kindle Unlimited (not that I had it, anyway). I read the entire Devils Dust MC series. I read a few others by her, and I have a few I've never read. She was a favorite for a time. I still follow her on Facebook for updates and she is very good about interacting with fans.

The Endgame Trilogy by Sky Warren 
I didn't even realize I'd read the whole series until recently. If you like auctioning the FMC off to the MMC then this series is for you. I'm not usually a fan, though... this series was an exception. I'm not sure if these are even on Kindle Unlimited. I bought them.

The Diary Of Bink Cummings by Bink Cummings 
For some reason I went through an MC romance craze. I'm not sure why, because it was after my horrible ex (who was a 1% biker) and I broke up for good. But, I'm pretty sure these are a fictionalized betrayal of real life events. I'm not 100% on that.

Gas Or Ass by Eden Connor 
I read this evil stepbrother romance years ago. I recently saw the rest of the series on Kindle Unlimited. I'm not sure if I will be reading them. The stepbrothers are really mean to her in the first one. I'm not sure if I can handle more than that.

So much werewolf romance 
Yeah my favorites were werewolf Romances for awhile. And there were a ton of free werewolf romance. It's a lot harder to find on the Kindle now, Free, Kindle Unlimited, or paid. I don't know if I will keep the werewolf romance. It's all been read and I have more than 5,000 books on my Kindle. 

McGuffy Readers
One of my most prized possessions was the McGuffy Readers I learned to read on. Maddeningly I found myself homeless 14 years ago and lost my McGuffy Readers. When I got my Kindle I found them for free! I never finished the sixth reader. For those not in the know, the McGuffy Readers are what schools used in pioneer times. I'm not sure when they stopped using them in schools. They are not particularly religious, so that wasn't the problem. They have old style cursive in them. 

An embarrassing amount of free erotica
They tried to call it smut, but I think of smut having more of a storyline with lots of steamy scenes. These books were only steamy scenes. This is probably where my husband started trading me about my "girl porn" which it, essentially was. I'm working my way slowly through deleted these books. I have so much quality romance novels now.

What Happened When I Started Reading To My Husband

When I was a teenager I read Hank The Cowdog and Captain Underpants to my younger siblings. Reading aloud was so simple then. My...
