This was originally made by Lost in a Story, and is such a fantastic idea.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 #111
And the Trees Crept In by Dawn Kurtagich
Date added: October 25, 2016
What was I thinking? This book sounds creepy AF! A man in the basement with no eyes? What is this Pans Labyrinth with a cursed house and an encroaching forest?
THE JUDGEMENT: Go
Book # 112
The Martian by Andy Weir
Date added: October 25, 2016
I read Artemis, and I like Weir’s humor. I also enjoyed what portion of the movie that I saw. Will most likely enjoy this via audiobook, but still want to get the book in.
THE JUDGEMENT: Keep
Book #113
Fate of Flames (Effigies #1) by
Date added: October 25, 2016
Something about this synopsis made me think of Captain Planet and that made me not take it seriously. Plus, I am a little burnt out on elemental books.
THE JUDGEMENT: Go
Book #114
The Bird and the Sword (The Bird and the Sword Chronicles #1) by Amy Harmon
Date added: October 31, 2016
Oh I love that this is about someone who’s powers were repressed and just maybe they rise to the occasion after all. I am intrigued.
THE JUDGEMENT: Keep
Book #115
Assassin’s Apprentice (Farseer Trilogy #1) by Robin Hobb
Date added: November 1, 2016
I have never read a Hobb book (shields herself from the rotten tomatoes) but I really want to! This one sounds super fun, because ya know your girl likes assassin books. But I mean, magical kinship with animals? I’m here for it.
THE JUDGEMENT: Keep
Starting TBR shelf total: 418
Total books kept: 3 of 5
I’m Curious \ ^_^ /
What do you think of my decisions? Have you read any of these books?
