The Best Reading Resources:
1. Kindle Unlimited
I ADORE Kindle Unlimited because it gives you access to so many great books to read.
It allows you to read as much as you want with over 4 million book titles, and thousands of audiobooks, comics, and magazine subscriptions to choose from!
You can read on any device (phone, tablet or computer) and cancel at any time. Check it out with a 30 day free trial!
Check out my post on Is Kindle Unlimited Worth It? to determine if it’s right for you! Then load up your library with the best Kindle Unlimited romance books.
*Kindle Unlimited members can read most previous First Reads editors’ picks for free. See Amazon’s First Reads below!
2. Kindle Fire
While I love holding a paperback or hardback in my hands, e-books are where it’s at to save me money and to save shelf space in my house! Plus, it’s easy to access your Kindle Unlimited library.
While you can read on your phone or computer, I love reading e-books on a tablet. If you don’t already have a tablet, a Kindle Fire is the perfect, affordable option for you to read books plus have access to select apps.
3. Reading Journals
A reading journal is indispensable to readers to keep track of books you want to read and those you read. Check out my list of the best reading journals for all readers or grab my Romance Book Reading Journal or Booktok Reading Journal!
The Romance Book Reading Journal was designed exclusively for the romance book reader. It’s available in paperback or hardback.
Do you love #Booktok?! Then the Booktok Journal is for you to capture and review all your Booktok recommendations.
Are you in a book club? Don’t pass up my Book Club Journal and be sure to grab one for all your members!

6. Amazon First Reads with Amazon Prime
Amazon First Reads is a program that offers customers early access to new books across popular genres. Every month customers can choose one of the Kindle books selected by our editors for $1.99, or free for Prime members.
Amazon First Reads Kindle books can be read on any compatible Kindle device or free Kindle reading app and become part of customers’ permanent libraries.

There are book subscription boxes for every genre, but these are my favorite romance book subscription boxes!
