Read the synopses of the books
Decide: keep it or should it go?
The Books:
Book #171
Between Two Thorns (The Split Worlds #1) by Emma Newman
Date added: January 4, 2017
Initially I thought this sounds like Shades of Magic, but I love the idea of the regency meets modern day meets fae aspect. So I am curious to see what this has to offer.

Book #172
The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton
Date added: January 5, 2017
I don’t get what this story is supposed to be about, and on that alone I am going to remove it from my list. Also I’m not really in the mood for magical realism right now.
