This was originally made by Lost in a Story, and is such a fantastic idea. Here are the instructions:
Go to your goodreads to-read shelf.
Order on ascending date added.
Take the first 5 (or 10 if you’re feeling adventurous) books
Read the synopses of the books
Decide: keep it or should it go?
The Books:
Book #101
Dream a Little Dream (The Silver Trilogy #1) by Kerstin Gier & Anthea Bell
Date added: August 23, 2016
This sort of makes me think of the Raven Boys which I fall into unpopular opinion and was sort of meh about. I am also not about to fill my head with weird dream stuff because I am a little sensitive to that.
THE JUDGEMENT: Go
Book #102
The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black
Date added: August 25, 2016
It’s Holly Black. I didn’t realize I had her on my list for so long as The Cruel Prince was my first of hers. She has fallen into autobuy author, and I am eager to actually start this book.
THE JUDGEMENT: Keep
Book #103
The Summer of Chasing Mermaids by Sarah Ockler
Date added: August 28, 2016
Well, it’s a retelling of The Little Mermaid in the PNW. It stays.
THE JUDGEMENT: Keep
Book #104
The Forest of Hands and Teeth (The Forest of Hands and Teeth #1) by Carrie Ryan
Date added: September 1, 2016
Based on the synopsis, I have no idea what this book is even about. Scanning through the reviews sounds like a bad narrator.
THE JUDGEMENT: Go
Book #105
The Perilous Sea (The Elemental Trilogy #2) by Sherry Thomas
Date added: September 8, 2016
Apparently I sorta liked the first book, and after reading my review of it I am intrigued again because ->> gender bender reverse harem, if nothing else. But a reread will be needed before starting this one.
THE JUDGEMENT: Keep
Starting TBR shelf total: 422
Total books kept: 3 out of 5
I’m Curious \ ^_^ /
What do you think of my decisions? Have you read any of these books?
