I don't usually post in this thread because my list is never as long as either of yours, but maybe this will encourage me to spend more of my free time reading.

Did I do it right?
Also, I think I'm going to have to start a list here somewhere and add to it as the months goes on, because I was having trouble remembering what I liked/didn't like about the 5 books I read. Lol

We used to have a review thread on SP but that kind of just faded away since it was just two or three of us reviewing the books. Since I read a lot of fantasy and no one else really does I'm not sure how interested people will be in my reviews. I do leave reviews on Goodreads and they go over to Amazon though! I'm so glad you gave us your list. I agree with your ratings on the Lantern Beach series. I ended up quitting To Save a King, just couldn't get into it.0

Cindy - My lists are way too long, but being retired and listening to books while I do "life" gets a lot of books on the list. When I traveled with my work, I didn't read nearly as much (probably not as much as your list this month).0

Kim you need to use Google documents. It pulls up from phones, fires, iPads, computers and everything. It goes with you everywhere. It has all of my music stuff, all my author files, all my monthly/yearly reading lists, Christmas lists, address book, etc.0
-
I'll have to look into that!0
-
You have to load google play on your fire to get the full google documents on it. It is a few steps to get it, but then you also can get all of the android applications from google play.0
-
Okay, working out all of the steps to get it loaded. My Kindle is restarting now - we'll see! Wow, I must have had Google Docs before because I have eight documents in my cache! I'll start one for my books, that way when I finish a book I can just do it right then rather than waiting until I get on the computer the next day and forget it! LOL.
For anyone else who wants to do this, I found a site that told me how to go through the steps for installing Google Play on a Kindle Fire. There are different steps for different Kindles, especially if you have an older one, so here is the link: https://blog.bestbuy.ca/computers-laptops-tablets/ipads-tablets-ereaders-computers-laptops-tablets/install-play-store-amazon-fire-tablet
At one point it said to go to my docs to find the downloads, but when I swiped down from the top the information panel came down and my downloads were there, the latest at the top so I did the bottom most first.0 -
Hope it is a help to you. I use it to write my book in as I download from the library or KU at the bottom of the document, then just move them up as I read them. I has worked for me since 2008.0
