Kindle Books

[whingyraindrop]

These were on my Kindle ‘suggested for you’ list yesterday and I have now added them to my device.

I love to read books about others travels and adventures whilst I’m away in the van, and as the average spring / summer trip requires 20 - 30 books, I keep a look out for interesting 99p offers.

Does anyone have any suggestions for other books?

Walking the Americas looks a good read especially at 0:99p, but How to live in a Van is back up to £7:99 now

I am a meanie and will usually go for the Kindle Unlimited versions I read such a lot that the unlimited makes economic sense for me. I often go through a book a day.

And of course not forgetting the threads on here from @ianthebuilder or the previous and current threads from @Northernraider they are definitely worth reading.
There are many others also which I can't keep up with but are well worth reading.

"In the Middle of Nowhere" by Peter Fleming.(£3.08)
I worked with Peter in Oman, and his account of building a Landover Camper and driving it to the UK via Saudi, Jordan, Egypt, Sudan, Central Africa, Nigeria, Algeria, etc makes entertaining reading

I always like Graham Field's books and audio books, nothing like listening to his adventures while on an adventure

Not Motorhome related but really funny is George Mahood “free country - a penniless adventure the length of Britain’. 2 men set off to go from lands end to john o groats with nothing but the clothes they are wearing. Laugh out loud funny in places.

thank you, I didn't know about this.

Its a nuisance. I have noticed that often when a book reaches the best sellers list the price increases.

Thank You. Yes, I have read most of those. The two go to Spain, Marie Potter and the camper van of Doom, along with Pussers Progress and several others about adventuring in France in a van (can't remember the titles, sorry) were written by Funsters.
Also (nowt to do with van life), I found the Snow! Thaw! Flood! trilogy entertaining, easy reading whilst spending far too much time in hospital a couple of years back. If I remember correctly they were written by a Funster too, though he doesn't write under his own name.

Not Motorhome related but really funny is George Mahood “free country - a penniless adventure the length of Britain’. 2 men set off to go from lands end to john o groats with nothing but the clothes they are wearing. Laugh out loud funny in places.

I agree, having read most of George Mahoods books. Easy reading and very entertaining. They are all currently free on Kindle Unlimited.

thank you all for taking the time to respond.

If you’re a member of your local library go in and ask about ebooks.
I borrow books to read on my iPad via an app which your library will tell you the details of. They will have lots of audio books too, plus magazines.
And it’s all free !

Don't forget Gutenberg either, lots of out-of-copyright free books there such as the Edgar Rice Burroughs adventures.

Surprised there is not much ebook content at your libary as a lot of UK libraries use Overdrive for ebooks and RBdigital for ebook and audiobooks which are accessed via your main library website our in Sussex have a lot of new content.
