5 Childhood Classics You Can Now Read On Kindle

If for so long, you've managed to maintain a vocal stand against e-books and instead dedicate all your love to good old paperbacks, I have just 3 words for you: I feel you. Believe me, if getting my hands on the hard copies of books I want to read, was as simple as it was at the beginning of this year, there'd be no room for discussion. But the truth is, it's not. 

 

So what I resorted to instead, was scouring the Internet for online PDFs and e-book copies of interesting reads. And soon enough it became apparent that while I'll always be a paperback girl, online books are a lot cheaper, convenient, and quicker to obtain. To help you modify your reading habits, and shift mediums as we did, here's a list of 5 childhood classics that will comfort you during these trying times, and can now easily be found on Kindle.
