Amy is me, if it is $1.99 or less on kindle and I’m even vaguely interested in it, I buy it. Then I can always find something for whatever reading mood I’m in.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sorry, yes, I *did* buy it today because it is $1.99 and I will say "why not?" to a lot of things at that price. Up to $4.99, really, although that adds up fast and I should not be so spendthrifty. I looked it up because y'all were talking about it but not specifically because I expected it to be $1.99.

I have read a LOT of absolute garbage this year because it was available on Kindle Unlimited and I was trying to put myself on an eBook budget. So anytime something good is on sale, yes, snap it up!

I tried to stick to Kindle Unlimited, Jess, but unless I stumble across a whole series that I actually like that is all available there (which happened at least a couple of times and was awesome) I get discouraged after trying to wade through an unreadable mess that was in my "Picks for You" or whatever. And then because I tried it the author will keep showing up in my recommendations and I have to remember that, no, I do not recognize that name because I like them...

Because books.
Oooh! I want to read that too.

I have to always decide what I’m reading next or I lose my momentum.

Yeah, I gave up on kindle unlimited after trying it a couple times, because while I know there's good stuff out there (and semi-frequently am looking at a book and see it's available there), when I would try to find things to read, it was mostly trash. And not the good kind of trash that I enjoy reading, just....bad.
Though now we're getting all those end of year best books lists, so I have been opening a billion tabs on all my devices to remind myself to either buy them or get them at the library.

Same, sj. It's easy when I have library books, but when I don't there are Too Many Choices.
