Re: May! What are you reading?

I realized I'd read a spoiler about the Sophie Hannah, so I gave it up. I really should stop reading people's reviews on goodreads.
Then I read In a Dark, Dark Wood, which I ranted about in my culture thread. It was completely forgettable. Laughable plot. Shame, it started well. Not sure what's next. I signed up for a free 1-month trial of kindle unlimited yesterday. It's 99% crap (erotica, self-help, authors no one's heard of), but there are millions of books, so you might find something interesting in that 1%. I found a Katherine Webb and The Winter People (Jennifer McMahon?), which had been on my radar, so far. It also has The Hunger Games. Apparently I'm the only THer who hasn't read it. We'll see. At least if I'm gonna read crap, I'd rather pay 6 dollars per month instead of 6-10 per book! It's pretty much like a library, if you consider the money you'd spend on gas to get to one. Anyway, I'm not too hopeful, I'll probably cancel after a month or 2.
