Here in the South, we are in the miserable days of late summer. It’s too hot and humid to be outside doing anything at all which means it’s the perfect weather for staying indoors to read. I make good use of my Kindle Unlimited subscription during unbearable weather (see also, January and February). This month, I have highlighted several highly-rated and buzzy books that you can get for free with your Kindle Unlimited subscription. Check out last month’s post for more books and a short description of KU.

There is a ton of buzz around this book right now! Our BRC reviewers gave it mixed reviews, some loved it while another found it predictable. Warning for strong sexual content.

Now a highly-rated Netflix series, The Queen’s Gambit is the story of Beth Harmon, an orphan, addict, and chess prodigy which is described as a thriller masquerading as a chess novel, fast-paced, and unputdownable.
