    There are actually several possibilities for me this month. I'll pick one and check GR for the rest -- these books are often offered as free giveaways. I'd like to see some reviews, first.

    Only one difference in this month's UK list.

    The difference is the psychological suspense offering which for us is The Other Girl - and that's the one that appeals to me the most.

    Sadly the the GR giveaways are only for the US and Canada.  :(  On the other hand I do have KU so I can read as many of them as I want in the end - not exactly free, but at no extra expense, if that makes sense!  :-\ Although, having said that, most months I struggle to find even one I want to read anyway.

    Not sure yet. Last month I had 3 possibles. A couple sound good this time, but not "jump on it" good. Waiting for reviews. Since I have KU, its not really any hurry anyway. Since they'll be in it in a month. I am having a backlog of library loans right now.

    I do NOT have KU .... but I have also noticed that the First Reads often become Prime Reads. And the KOLL is almost completely identical to the KU catalog .... so one a month there.

    And .... it's not like I have nothing to read! :o Just had another couple long time holds come available. :D

    Same here. I haven’t used prime video once, since it was introduced. I’ve used prime wardrobe once. I don’t even know what all the “perks” are. Don’t care. Irritated I am not offered al la carte prime... just the shipping, please.
    But, I won’t be dropping kindle. I can live without the rest.

    I ended up going with Find Layla.

    Interference would have been my second choice. I may try to win it on Goodreads, as Ann mentioned.

    I took The Woman in the Moonlight (Patricia Morrisroe) but haven't read yet. These are usually on my back burner. I have so many books. Wouldn't give up Prime -- love the shipping and the videos (that are included with Prime).
