Below you'll find a list of books I've read since hitting the road back in May of 2018. It's not a complete list, just the ones I felt were worth mentioning. You will surely notice that most of the books here are very similar. Most are set in the state of Florida or the Caribbean and most are a series of books rather than a single title.
All of the books are works of fiction, not meant to educate or enlighten, merely to entertain. I read primarily at night before going to sleep as a way to numb my mind. Most of these books accomplish that very easily, but occasionally I find myself awake, still reading, well after midnight.
The books are not listed in any particular order, just grouped by author, with the more recently read books nearer the top of the list. One other thing they mostly have in common is that they are available through Kindle Unlimited on Amazon. If you're not familiar with the service, you're permitted to download unlimited titles for less than $10 a month. The only limit is you can only check out ten books at the same time, not a problem for me, I can only read them one at a time!
