With many libraries closing, and with Amazon extending the free Kindle Unlimited trial to a two-month time period, this is a great time to try out Kindle Unlimited if you haven’t yet. That’s exactly what I did as soon as our libraries closed. I find the Kindle Unlimited library a bit hard to search, so I’ve put together a list of some books I’ve found that you might enjoy.
Edited April 2021: Our libraries are back open, but the free two-month trial is still available.
