This was originally made by Lost in a Story, and is such a fantastic idea.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 #26
Assassin’s Heart (Assassin’s Heart #1)by Sarah Ahiers
Date added: February 20, 2016
Originally I picked this book up, then stopped reading it and marked it “finish later”. As much as I like assassin books, clearly this one didn’t actually catch my interest, otherwise I would have finished, am I right?
THE JUDGEMENT: Go
Book # 27
Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days #1) by Susan Ee
Date added: February 22, 2016
Dystopian. Angel Paranormal. YA. This is exactly what I would have put on my TBR list around that time. But for some reason I feel inclined to give the genre a second chance. I am going to keep this book, if only to potentially redeem the genre after Hush, Hush.
THE JUDGEMENT: Keep
Book # 28
The Magicians ( The Magicians #1) by Lev Grossman
Date added: February 22, 2016
Okay, sooo. Adult magic users in the real world. I mean, why wouldn’t I keep this? Plus, the show looks fun..but I want to read the book before I watch it.
THE JUDGEMENT: Keep
Book #29
Hidden Huntress (The Malediction Trilogy #2) by Danielle L. Jensen
Date added: February 22, 2016
I absolutely loved the first book. I don’t know why I didn’t finish this series, but I need to get back on it. I’ll probably require a reread of the first book since it’s been two years now, but I don’t think I’d mind that.
THE JUDGEMENT: Keep
Book #30
City of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments #2) by Cassandra Clare
Date added: February 22, 2016
I feel like I just have to continue reading this series. It’s intriguing enough even though I didn’t jump onto the bandwagon with everyone else. I’m sure I will get to this eventually.
THE JUDGEMENT: keep
Starting TBR shelf total: 446
Total books kept: 4# out of 5
Not a very good week of kicking books off my list, but I did find a bunch of duplicates of other books….soooo that knocked some off.
I’m Curious \ ^_^ /
What do you think of my decisions? Have you read any of these book
