I am too embarrassed to post my monthly reading list. I might have 8-10 books in a good month. You ladies put me to shame0

Cindy - there is no pride in numbers. I need the distraction on audio books or text to voice while I do life. Being retired gives me a ton of time to listen.0
-
I agree with Connie. What I want to see is how you liked or didn't like what you did read, it gives me ideas for reads. I know we share what we are reading while reading it, but we don't always share our like or dislike of it! I just have to remember to get it on my list!0

I found several of your 5* reads on Hoopla, Connie! I like the WWII stories.0
-
I seriously have to figure out how to connect with Hoopla... it's a library thing, right? My township doesn't have library access 😑 (we used to, but it got taken away - don't know why)...0
-
Cindy - I use hoopla for audiobooks. The ebooks do not connect with kindle, so you read in app. The Libby library program is better for ebooks. Probably 90% are available in Kindle.0

I forget to go to my Hoopla app on my Kindle to find the e-books, but I do like the audio books.0
