This was originally made by Lost in a Story, and is such a fantastic idea.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 #231
Updrift (The Mer Chronicles #1) by Erin Stevens
Date added: April 19, 2017
The synopsis of this book is rather vague, but I am always here for a mermaid book and love giving them a try.
THE JUDGEMENT: Keep
Book #232
Ice Wolves (Elementals #1) by Amie Kaufman
Date added: April 26, 2017
Dragons. Wolves. Amie Kaufman. What’s more to ask for in a book?
THE JUDGEMENT: Keep
Book #233
Traitor’s Masque (Andari Chronicles #1) by Kenley Davidson
Date added: May 5, 2017
You may think by now I would be tired of fairytale retellings…but I’m not, also this spin on Cinderella sounds unique. So let’s go for it.
THE JUDGEMENT: Keep
Book #234
Chronicles of Drenyon: The Golden Sword by N.L.J.
Date added: May 8, 2017
The premise sounds unique, but I am not sure if I would find the story to be actually interesting.

Book #235
Wolf (Life’s a Fairytale Collection) by Raven K. Asher
Date added: May 8, 2017
First off, this cover is creepy AF. But oh my gosh, based on how the synopsis is written I don’t think I could read the book.
THE JUDGEMENT: Go
Book #236
The Fairytale’s Daughter by Carolyn Swanson
Date added: May 8, 2017
I’m not sure how I feel about this fairy tale mash up, I just can’t wrap my mind around the part where she’s been spending her whole life traveling the world sailing and shooting arrows, but is now being sent to boarding school at 17. I don’t know why this bothers me so much.
THE JUDGEMENT: Go
Book #237
Sunset Rising (Sunset Rising #1) by S.M. McEachern
Date added: May 12, 2017
Right off the bat looking at the q’s to the author it should be flagged for mention of rape and prostitution. I’m not sure how much it really involves in the story, but it doesn’t seem like much. With that aside, I don’t think I am quite vibing this plot.
THE JUDGEMENT: Go
Book #238
The Library of Fates by Aditi Khorana
Date added: May 12, 2017
I want to read this book because I mean look at this cover. Also it holds promise of being steeped in interesting culture. But….I dunno, I just don’t think I will ever get around to reading it.
THE JUDGEMENT: Go
Book #239
The Crown’s Dog (Golden Guard #1) by Elise Kova
Date added: May 16, 2017
I just finished Air Awakens and I need more Jax! Also, I just love Elise’s writing.
THE JUDGEMENT: Keep
Book #240
Aetheria’s Daemon by Will Weisser
Date added: May 16, 2017
As someone who works incredibly hard for everything I have I don’t think I want to read a book about people who can think things into existence.

Starting TBR shelf total: 403
Total books kept: 4
I’m Curious \ ^_^ /
