I just happened to stumble across Prime Reading about two years ago - had no idea it was included with a Prime account. I don't use a Kindle, but I have the Kindle app on my computer/tablet and read that way. It seems the titles available change randomly. But it basically works like a library - you can only have so many books out at once; but you can hold onto them - seemingly - forever as long as you return one before you get another.

I'm not able to face a pandemic story right now, though if you like nonfiction, I recently read and really liked The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hallie Rubenhold--unless you read it, and recommended it, and that's where I heard about it? Perhaps?? Because I can't remember where I read about it, but it was really good.ccr in MAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938353645353176255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-51911665392537388002022-08-11T09:08:37.416-04:002022-08-11T09:08:37.416-04:00We had the very same problem with our AC years ago...We had the very same problem with our AC years ago.
