Hello bookworms! I was hoping to get some help from y’all. I have a kindle that’s about ten years old and it’s working pretty well but I think I’m going to have to replace it soon. I avoid Amazon like the plague and while I like using a kindle, I do not want to purchase another one and support them. I wanted to ask what other e-readers you guys are using and how you like them. I primarily get my books from my library so the kindle is really convenient since I can send the book from Libby easily. Would that be possible with other e-readers or would I have to find e-books another way?

I feel like these books scratch a particular spot in my brain. I want to find more to compare how they’re portrayed in books vs their actual selves. I feel like they’re probably a list somewhere…but recs please?
-I read the first book of the Shadow Histories duology by H.G. Parry and loved it. It’s such a wide scope, and the narrator for the audiobook has a great voice. I wished the Haitian revolution was a more central plot point, but alas.
-“But One Life” by Samantha Wilsoncox was certainly interesting. The author certainly loves foreshadowing. (There’s a scene where a preacher talks about the story of Esther. Making parallels to the story of Hale to her…? Also that it was basically divine duty for him to serve his country). Relatively accurate.
-For the Pride read along, I loved Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert. The conversations in that book were amazing.
-There is currently “Hope Never Dies” by Andrew Shaffer sitting on my shelf. I guess Obama and Biden count as historical figures? Famous figures? I guess they count too.
I also found a couple of others. Like this one author writing about Nathaniel Greene (and an upcoming one about Joseph Warren). Also Dwight D Eisenhower?
(I dont know why it’s so US centric today…maybe some less us centric ones?)

On Pillowfort, folks in the Bookworms community do WWW Wednesday every week. The Ws stand for three questions:
What are you currently reading?
What have you recently finished reading?
What will you be reading next?
Share your own WWW Wednesday, see what others have to say, and have some fun!
(It's also a great way to find new friends with similar reading taste to yours!)

I find myself drawn to revisiting some books from my teen years spent in the 90s/early 2000s. Are there books you find nostalgic and want to reread as adults?
Right now, I've got my eyes on: *Emelan books by Tamora Pierce *Animorphs series by K.A. Applegate *Den of Shadows & The Kiesha'ra series by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes *Cirque du Freak series by Darren Shan
Update: I started a list and will take suggestions for books to add! https://pagebound.co/lists/30ff4372-be2e-4d21-97f4-b30b19c77ee9
