EVERY KINDLE UNLIMITED BOOK I’VE READ (and some thoughts)
ALL THE BOOKS ON KINDLE UNLIMITED THAT I HAVE READ (and my thoughts)
I know Kindle Unlimited can be an overwhelming place. There are SO MANY OPTIONS and a lot of authors that you may have never heard about before. I wanted to share SUPER brief thoughts on all of the books from KU that I have read to help you find some book recs.
These are organized by genre. I mostly read thrillers and memoirs on KU but I try to read a little bit of everything! There should be something for everyone on this list!
If you let me know books that you have loved in the comments, I can find a KU rec for you!
Also, follow me on #bookstagram so we can be friends! @pishposhpages
*When I read each of these books, they were on Kindle Unlimited. I can’t guarantee that they still are!
**Sorry about the punctuation here... There are a lot of fragmented sentences in these little blurbs!
MEMOIRS
Call Me Tuesday by Leigh Byrne
This memoir from a child abuse survivor is heartbreaking but a well told story.
Eat, Pray, #FML by Gabrielle Stone
Not good. TikTok tricked me on this one. Eat, Pray, Love if an annoying influencer wrote it. Sorry Gabs – you have great social media skills for making this one go viral!
Good Morning Monster by Catherine Gildiner
INCREDIBLE. A therapist shares stories from her past clients that created one of the most moving non-fiction books I have ever read.
Nothing Like I Imagined by Mindy Kaling
All of Mindy’s books are so fun! This collection of shorts is no exception!
Spilled Milk by K.L. Randis
Kelly’s story of strength through experiencing child abuse and sexual abuse is emotional and inspiring.
The United States of Anxiety by Jen Lancaster
Terrible. Whiny. Not. Good.
Wholly Unraveled by Keele Burgin
The most underrated memoir! Comparable to Educated by Tara Westover but I actually liked this one more!
NOVELS
Darryl by Jackie Ess
This satire read is VERY DIFFERENT. Read the synopsis first!
Have You Seen Luis Velez? by Catherine Ryan Hyde
This one is a slow read but it warms the heart!
In An Instant by Suzanne Redfearn
Great coming-of-age read that is introspective while still being fast-paced.
Running the Light by Sam Tallent
This one is intense but AMAZING. This is the tale of a troubled stand up comedian and it is a must-read if you love stand up!
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT/SELF HELP
Boss Up by Lindsay Teague Moreno
Alright business/social media info but not groundbreaking – LTM grew her following through an MLM and then moved on to business coaching.
The Code. The Evaluation. The Protocol. by Jocko Willink
Very short self help read with an intense and direct style from a former Navy SEAL.
Girl On Fire by Cara Alwill Leyba
Typical personal development girl boss read. I like these every once in a while.
Girl Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis
See above (lol)
Speak With No Fear by Mike Acker
Fantastic, quick read for those looking to improve their public speaking skills!
To Hell With The Hustle by Jefferson Bethke
This one is more geared towards those with children and is focused on making time for what matters (family) instead of getting stuck in the hustle and grind of work and social status. It’s good if that is something you are looking for guidance on!
Tribe of Mentors by Tem Ferriss
A collection of advice from leaders in all kinds of industries – tech, religion, fitness, mindfulness, and more. THIS HAS SO MUCH GOODNESS but it is pretty long!
ROMANCE
Bed Stuy by Jerry McGill
A beautiful romance read set in NYC that no one is talking about!
Flock by Kate Stewart
Very popular on booktok and bookstagram but not my favorite... TBH the best part of this book is the smut.
The Idea of You by Robinne Lee
SO GOOD. I can’t believe this one is on Kindle Unlimited!! Steamy with a good plot. The perfect beach read.
Layla by Colleen Hoover
My first paranormal romance and I enjoyed it! Not as intense as Verity but still good!
THRILLERS
Okay, this section needs some additional explanation because I read SO MANY thrillers. Gregg Olsen and Minka Kent are my two favorite thriller authors and they both have a TON of books on KU. This is always my first rec when people are looking for books on Kindle Unlimited.
The Hive by Gregg Olsen
This thriller is about a cult in the Pacific Northwest – gives Gweneth Paltrow/Goop gone wrong vibes!
Hush Little Baby by Suzanne Redfearn
One of my favorite KU books I’ve found. Such a good thriller. I need to reread this one!
If You Tell by Gregg Olsen
My favorite book of ALL TIME. This thriller is based on a true story which makes it EXTRA disturbing.
The Last Sister by Kendra Elliott
An OKAY thriller based in northwest Oregon that touches on white supremacy through a small town crime
The Last Thing She Ever Did by Gregg Olsen
This one is set in Bend, OR is disturbing in so many ways but, as always, a great thriller from Gregg
Lying Next To Me by Gregg Olsen
Another great thriller from Gregg Olsen that is set in the Pacific Northwest. Classic thriller vibes.
The Memory Watcher by Minka Kent
Stalker vibes. Classic Minka Kent.
Open House by Katie Sise
This one moves a little slowly but I ended up really enjoying this thriller that goes back and forth between the main character’s college life and the present.
The Perfect Roommate by Minka Kent
Psychological thriller that really makes you question the characters
The Silence by Kendra Elliott
Sequel to The Last Sister. More of the same.
Snow Creek by Gregg Olsen
This one is creepy and disturbing but not SCARY. Another one set in the Pacific Northwest with a female detective leading the case and sharing her backstory as well.
The Sound of Rain by Gregg Olsen
Book 1 in the Nicole Foster series. Female Detective with an interesting backstory solves a crazy crime in the Seattle area. I loved this one.
The Stillwater Girls by Minka Kent
One of my TOP 5 BOOKS EVER. INCREDIBLE THRILLER.
The Thinnest Air by Minka Kent
I love a thriller that includes some glamorous lifestyle and this one has it! It also has a kidnapping. What more could you want??
This Is Where It Ends by Marieke Nijkamp
Extremely fast-paced book that goes minute by minute through a school shooting.
Unmissing by Minka Kent
A kidnapping/reentering into “normal” life read... Not my favorite Minka Kent book but it was still entertaining.
Unspeakable Things by Jess Loury
This one is written from the perspective of kids trying to solve a very dark crime that is going on in their town. I enjoyed this one but it is disturbing.
The Weight of Silence by Gregg Olsen
Book 2 in the Nicole Foster series. More of the same. Good stuff. Crazy ending.
When I Was You by Minka Kent
Psychological thriller that grips you the whole time!
TRUE CRIME
Deceived by Michael King
This one is about a sex crime cult based out of Utah and reads like watching a documentary. If you like cults, this one is for you!
To The Bridge by Nancy Rommelmann
This is a heartbreaking story of a mother who attempted to murder her two children by dropping them off of a bridge in Portland, OR. This one is really dark and a little slow moving but perfect for dark true crime lovers.
Whew... THAT IS A LOT OF BOOKS!
I hope this helps you on your KU journey!
