We are crazy about books here at XOXO, CB (like legit crazy… I may or may not be planning a 29 hour road trip to Scottsdale, Arizona to visit the Poisoned Pen). Recently I signed up for kindle unlimited on Prime Day (I got 3 months for free).

IF Kindle Unlimited could do that, then I would pay $15 to $20 a month for it. Now, I do get my pick of 2 new releases for free every month by being a prime member and…
