Katey Bassett (610 KP) rated Daughters of the Lake in Books
Dec 10, 2018
This book was a lot different than I thought it was going to be, there were certain parts that really sucked me in and there were other parts that sort of seemed like they went unfinished. I felt like the romantic aspect was slightly far fetched with the detective and there were a lot of details left out about Celeste. Overall, very quick read and I was glad to have gotten this book from Kindle First.

This was a Kindle Freebie when I downloaded it so I would recommend you keeping an eye out for it again.
This is a story that revolves around a handful of main characters, but don't let that deceive you! There are enough names dropped into the story that you will have fun trying to keep up. It is a fast-paced book with lots of detail.
If you like historical books, then give this one a try.

Auburn (57 KP) rated How to Flunk Magic in Books
Jun 21, 2019
I read this through Kindle Unlimited. Its a fun read of magic going wrong. This book reads like how I imagine a real life witch would handle magic. Not everything will go right and you have to learn to be yourself. Plus the boy was swoon worthy.
My only problem is that it is very British. The terms and writing are sometimes very difficult to understand.
Should you try it: Do you enjoy magic that goes horribly wrong?

Enjoyed this more than I expected.
So this book has been on my kindle for 5 years. 5 long years, and it was definitely about time I read it. And I'm so glad I did! I stayed up until 1am last night and midnight tonight so I could finish it. I was hooked pretty quickly by the storyline, wondering what was going to happen with them. It was pretty sweet in the end. Just took them a long time.

It's been about 2 years since i read the first book and this has been on my to-read list since so when i was given a 2 month kindle unlimited subscription for nothing--Thanks Amazon--i had to get this. Only I'd forgotten pretty much everything that had gone on
I am very intrigued by the Bo and Michael relationship progression and the Midici issue so i am sure I'll be reading the rest of the series soon.

Couldn’t live without it
I’m one of those people that loves real books. I collect real books, and used to enjoy going to the library and borrowing stacks of books all the time. I always mocked Kindles, because you couldn’t borrow books like in a normal library and I just didn’t see the benefit to owning one. However as time went on, I began to reconsider a Kindle, especially as I found out some of my local libraries were closing down and they had instead launched an e-book borrowing service with a fairly decent catalogue of books. Eventually I caved and bought a Kindle last year in the Black Friday sales, and I’ve never looked back since.
I bought a Paperwhite (3rd gen) and I absolutely love it. The screen is fantastic and is perfect to read in any type of light, and there are enough functions available to adjust the display to meet your own personal requirements. It has only 3gb of space, which sounds terribly small, however I have over 500 books saved on mine and have used only 800mb, so storage space definitely isn’t a problem. The battery life is impressive, to the point where I forget it actually has a battery that needs charging, it lasts that long. It’s fairly light and is so easy to carry around and take out, no matter how small my bag is.
My only criticism is around the user interface itself. I like that it allows you to create collections to be able to sort your books easily and also that it can be easily linked to your Goodreads account. However the interface itself is very clunky and quite slow at times. When you’re used to tapping away on smart phones and tablets, it can be frustrating to navigate through the Kindle’s menus which are a lot slower than I’d like. But that said, the interface minor issues are never usually a problem when you’re reading a book, it’s only on the menu/store screens.
But this is only a really minor criticism. I absolutely love my Kindle, and although I do still enjoy reading normal books, the Kindle is definitely here to stay.

Sarah (7798 KP) rated Libby, by OverDrive in Apps

Good for hard to find books
I'm a real book person. I don't have a kindle and I much prefer to read actual books from my local library or from charity shops.
I get access to the Libby app through my local library card, and after fruitless searches for certain books available in the libraries themselves, I decided to cave in and try the electronic version. I can't complain, as the app actually had was I was looking for and I found the borrowing books and reading functionality very easy to use.
However the catalogue is fairly limited, and there isn't a large amount of new releases or popular books available. I'm not sure if this is down to the library you use, or the app itself, but it's very frustrating when you search for an author like Stephen King and find only 2 titles when he's written so many. This app also advertises that you can download books to a kindle, which almost tempted me into buying one until I found out that functionality is only available in the US. Urgh.

Perfect for an avid reader who can't carry all their books with them
I purchased a Kindle Paperwhite E-Reader a few years ago. I had previous thought that "I could never give up holding a book." However, the Kindle has been a lifesaver on trips. It is small, light, and easy to take with me wherever I go. I purchased a case, so I could have the feeling of holding a book and to protect the tech. The Paperwhite looks like paper, but has a back light for when I am in darker spaces. I am able to download books from Amazon instantly as well as get books from my library delivered. In the end, it has saved me a ton of money as I am on several discount e-book newsletters and I can check out many books from the library no matter where I am. My only complaint is that the touch screen has a bit of lag time, but otherwise it is fantastic.

Omg...the ending aaaa the ending...I can't wait to read the next one...I almost threw my kindle against the wall at the ending. The beginning was slow but then it picked up and it caught me and I was hooked. Some of the words are different for me...but I understood them fine. I am excited to see what happens. The plots and twists were amazing and unexpected. I was thinking one way and it went opposite. Lol loved it
