  • Magazines–Apple News+ vs. Kindle Unlimited

    I have gone through all of the Magazines available through Apple News+ to see if any of them are available via Kindle Unlimited. As you can see, Apple’s offerings are far more robust but Kindle does have a few magazines that are not available (yet) on Apple News+. If you are super into magazines, then…

  • KnitPicks Radiant Needles Review

    KnitPicks Radiant Needles Review

    I wanted to get up a quick review of these needles since I’m so excited to have received my package today. I am in love with the color of these needles.  I have the Harmony (Rainbow) needles, Majestic Needles, Nickel Plated needles, and a set of Lykke Driftwood needles (which I blogged about here). Needless…

  • Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson

    Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson My rating: 3 of 5 stars I just finished this work last night and I thought it was good, but I didn’t think it was the greatest. I wasn’t even particularly compelled to see if my library had the second work for check out (I usually avoid reading series, because…

  • The Best Friend [A Book Review] & Kindle Oasis

    The Best Friend [A Book Review] & Kindle Oasis

    I just finished The Best Friend, which was a very stereotypical teen romance novel with some twists.  While the book was good, I found myself frustrated with the characters and the ending of the work.  I also read the bonus chapter that was promoted at the end of the Kindle book, which left me wanting more…
