Entertaining Sci-Fi listening 🎶🔰

I purchased this Megapack e-book six months ago.

I now am attempting to clean up ☝ the what started at 300 kindle e-books on my kindle fire 🔥. I am now down 100 e-books with 1500+ stories.

This Megapack contains 28 stories, some very good and others not so much. I enjoyed listening 🎶 to the stories read by Alexa.

I would recommend this Megapack to readers of fantasy Sci-Fi adventures novels 👍🔰. 2023 😀👒😡😮🏡

I wish everyone a happy holiday season.☺😀

Firebird was great

I downloaded the 11th and 12th megapacks just to finish the story -- now I need to go back and read the rest of the books
