![]() Buying books these days can get expensive, even for e-books (which hover around the $10 a pop range, on average). individually shelling out for every book (especially when most of them are cheap thrills in the romance genre). I read a high volume of books pretty quickly (typically around 10 a month), so romance or not, it makes financial sense for me to be paying a flat rate per month for KU vs. TL DR - Is Kindle Unlimited worth it, or nah? (Think of it like Blockbuster, if you’re elderly like me - they wouldn’t carry the movies currently in theaters, just the ones available for rent months later.) On the bright side, KU does end up with some of those bestsellers down the line. (Or at least very rarely, in my experience.) If the bulk of what you read are splashy bestsellers as soon as they hit shelves, Kindle Unlimited isn’t for you. There are tons and tons of options, from the spicy stuff you see recommended on #smuttok, to historical romances for Bridgerton fans looking for more Regency-era swooning, and contemporary titles from Casey McQuiston ( One Last Stop), Alexis Hall ( Boyfriend Material), and Kate Canterbary ( In a Jam is a personal favorite).ĭoes Kindle Unlimited have brand-new releases available? I can confirm that if you love reading romance and/or rom-coms, and you go through them at a decent clip (at least 3-5 a month), you’ll get plenty of bang for your buck by subscribing to KU. I mainly use my subscription to fuel my never-ending, all-consuming obsession with reading romance. Or if you’re looking for thrills and chills, bestsellers like Jeneva Rose’s psychological twist-fest The Perfect Marriage and Freida McFadden’s The Housemaid. You’ll also find critically-acclaimed fiction titles like The Night Tiger by Yangsze Choo, Of Women and Salt by Gabriela Garcia, and The Other Black Girl by Zakiya Dalila Harris (another book I really enjoyed). There are also seriously, seriously good offerings in the nonfiction department, like Carmen Maria Machado’s In the Dream House (which I read and loved last year), Token Black Girl by Danielle Prescod, and the true crime smash I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer by Michelle McNamara. But - a big but!!! - are the bulk of the books included in that three million actually good and/or worthwhile? If you didn’t subscribe to KU, would you still even bother reading them? That’s the bigger (and most important) question, to me.įor example, I read Every Last Fear by Alex Finlay on Kindle Unlimited last October, which ended up being a very good thriller (from a great author - his book The Night Shift is one of my favorite thrillers, ever). Pretty much everything! You can read all day, every day, 24/7, 365, and never run out of reading material on KU as I mentioned above, they have a catalog of over three million titles. OK, now talk to me about the books - what can I read on Kindle Unlimited? There have been plenty of times I’ve forgotten my Kindle on my way to work, but the app still offers me a way to read on my commute. I also like that KU is available on both my actual Kindle and on the Kindle app, which I can access on both my laptop and phone. It works like a library in the sense that they “loan” you up to 20 books at a time, and you can take your sweet time reading them - there’s no hard due date in place. (Also worth pointing out that Kindle Unlimited is different from Prime Reading, which is included in an Amazon Prime subscription.) ![]() It grants you unlimited access to a catalog of over three million titles, and that’s not just standard novels or nonfiction - KU includes audiobooks, comics, and magazines as well. On the surface, signing up for a Kindle Unlimited subscription makes sense if you’re the type of book fanatic looking to read as much as possible for as little money as possible, assuming you don’t already belong to your local library. ![]() (Size of your TBR pile notwithstanding.)įirst, the nitty-gritty: how does Kindle Unlimited even work? A friend recently posed a very serious, life-or-death question of the utmost importance to me: is subscribing to Kindle Unlimited (KU) worth it? Especially now that its monthly fee has increased from $9.99 to $11.99(+ taxes), as of May 11? And my answer is that, mainly, is that it depends on how many books you truly, genuinely read a month. ![]() ![]() ![]() 12, and the Honda Odyssey fell one position to No. Meanwhile, Toyota Highlander dropped three spots to No. 11, and the Ford Escape fell four spots to No. 18, while Nissan Altima decreased five positions to No. The Toyota RAV4 fell eight positions to No. KBB pointed out the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Ford Explorer are new to this year’s list compared to 2010.Īnalysts acknowledged many vehicles that are standard candidates on the annual most-researched vehicle list dropped in ranking during 2011. 10, and the Chevrolet Equinox, up five positions to No. While these models remained among the top three again in 2011, several other vehicles entered the list for the first time or shifted position.Ī number of popular new or redesigned models also increased their standing for 2011 versus 2010, including the Volkswagen Jetta, up 10 positions to No. Since 2004, the Honda Accord, Honda Civic and Toyota Camry remain the top three most-researched new vehicles on Kbb.com. “They simply didn’t fit into many consumers’ budgets, especially with the gas price hike earlier this year,” he continued. “Luxury brands were hit the hardest this year not one luxury vehicle made it on Kelley Blue Book’s 2011 most-researched list,” Henry stressed. KBB also noted rising fuel prices also allowed the hybrid segment to thrive earlier in the year with the Toyota Prius benefitting most, moving eight spots this year to No. 18 last year However, with uneasy economic conditions and rising gas prices during the first and second quarters of this year, analysts believe many luxury owners and intenders moved toward non-luxury brands on the site. KBB said the BMW 3 Series held position No. Significant to this year’s list is the absence of luxury brands among the top 20 most-researched new vehicles on kbb.com. 3 on the list, while Chevrolet remained the fourth brand researched when compared to 2010. 1 spot, and the brand’s market share increased 1 percent.Īnalysts pointed out Ford moved up one position this year to the second brand researched most from 10.2 percent in 2010 to 13.5 percent this year. ![]() Hyundai’s roll out of the Equus and Veloster, in addition with the redesign of the Accent and Azera, were also considerable factors that translated into its increased market share on Kbb.com.Īnalysts added the Elantra and Sonata had a high level of prosperity this year, which generated brand interest among shoppers. KBB indicated many consumers turned to Hyundai for their new-vehicle purchase during this time with the lack of vehicles in the marketplace. Making its big appearance this year as a top brand is Hyundai, closing in on the fifth position on the 2011 top five most-researched brand list, replacing Nissan from last year.Īnalysts discovered Hyundai’s increased popularity among shoppers can be accounted for in part due to Honda and Toyota delivering their vehicles at a low production rate because of the Japanese tsunami and recent Thai floods. KBB defined the share as the percent of new-vehicle shopper activity for a particular brand on Kbb.com for 2011. KBB reiterated that Toyota, Ford, Honda, Chevrolet, Hyundai (respectively) are the top five brands with the highest share of market interest. “Hyundai was able to knock it out of the park two years in rows with the Sonata and now the Elantra, which is maintaining brand loyalty and changing public perception,” Henry continued. “Hyundai’s Elantra resonated with kbb.com visitors earlier this year with its redesign releasing as gas prices were soaring and due to its styling, it remains top-of-mind among new-car shoppers,” explained Arthur Henry, manager of market intelligence for Kelley Blue Book. They contend Elantra’s victory can be attributed to the vehicle’s top-rated fuel efficiency, affordability, superior redesign and Hyundai’s increased popularity among consumers. KBB analysts think this year’s success story is the Hyundai Elantra, entering the top 20 most-researched new vehicles list at No. As a result, Kbb.com’s top 20 most-researched new vehicles of 2011 include: ![]() ![]() ![]() OR, do you have a fav drink recipe that you’d like to turn into a skinny-mini drink recipe?

If you want to see more cocktail recipes like this, check out my favorite little watermelon champagne recipe or find more dranks here.

This margarita is so refreshing & light (thanks to the cucumber), and it has a little kick of spice (with the jalapenos and chili powder). ♥ Strain margarita into chili powder & sea salt rimmed glass (over lots of ice!). ♥ Muddle Jalapeños into shaker (to desired heat/or just muddle straight into the glass instead), then strain mixture from blender into cocktail shaker.

I actually prefer to have the spices floating in my drink and oftentimes will add more to the top mid-way through! The Tajin blend is thicker with larger flakes and the Trader Joe’s Chili Lime seasoning blend is more subtle.With Taco Tuesday ( a very serious holiday by my standards ) comes this skinny-mini, spicy margarita recipe. Lastly, sprinkle Chili Lime seasoning directly on the rocks for the simple way or rim your glass with a mix of sea salt and Chili con Lime seasoning at the beginning. ![]() Slice a wedge to add to the side or squeeze and toss in the glass.

This is why, for all their flaws and imbalances, the transatlantic (and transpacific) alliances have survived for decades. It is there because of bitter experience: staying out of regions that matter merely means that eventual intervention is late and costly. The United States does not have bases in wealthy European and East Asian countries out of charity. But it has a better ring to it than “ruthless Hobbesian world in which might equals right.”īut it boils down to this. The phrase, “rules-based international order” sounds a bit threadbare these days. A country that fights alone risks giving the impression that its statecraft is motivated solely by greed, vainglory, and other selfish interests. Shared sacrifices in the past, and shared ideals about the future, help make values credible at home and abroad. Building that stockpile of influence and loyalty takes years of husbandry. If you are in a world of great power competition, you had better make sure your power is as great as possible. The United States alone, as the administration is discovering, cannot.

All that can be said by Americans of their NATO allies. They sometimes pick fights, lose their nerve, and spend money on the wrong things. They need things at inconvenient times and can fail to show up when asked. military presence on their soil, plus a 50 percent surcharge, suggests (not for the first time) that the Commander-in-Chief fails to understand his country’s strongest geopolitical asset.
