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?

I love me a good ya sci-fi, and there is so much available right now but that doesn’t mean I am going to not read this one either, because enemies having to work together? Yes.

Book #216
The Clan of the Cave Bear (Earth’s Children) by Jean M. Auel

THE JUDGEMENT: Keep
Book #217
Joyride by Anna Banks
Date added: March 23, 2017
I have actually read part of this book, and looking back I realize it’s not exactly what I want in a YA contemporary with it’s dealings of immigration and how it affects the family. As a descendant of a family of immigrants I have an understanding of the struggle, and the direction this was going in wasn’t one I could read.

Book #218
Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein
Date added: March 26, 2017
This is one of those Sci-Fi classics that I need in my repertoire, especially with a strong military presence in my family I am curious to see how it’s portrayed.
THE JUDGEMENT: Keep
Book #219
I, Robot (Robot #0.1) by Isaac Asimov
Date added:March 26, 2017
Another one of those classic Sci-Fi books that I want to have had read at least once. Also because I wonder how much of this inspired Lifelike by Jay Kristoff?

Book #220
The Castaways by Jessica Fleck
Date added: March 27, 2017
This sort of makes me think of Lord of the Flies meets the Maze Runner…and I think the interest has been lost.
