Someone needs to tell me to stop adding books because it's starting to become an addiction, every interesting book I come across on Goodreads, I have an automatic urge to add it even if the likelihood of me getting round to reading it anytime soon is low. My current to-read shelf is at 3974 this week.
The rules
- Go to your goodreads to-read shelf.
- Order on ascending date added.
- Take the first 5 (or 10 (or even more!) if you’re feeling adventurous) books. Of course if you do this weekly, you start where you left off the last time.
- Read the synopses of the books
- Decide: keep it or should it go?
The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen
I'm torn. It sounds like a good book, it's got an emotional plot but realistically I just don't see myself ever reaching for it unfortunately.
Verdict: Remove
Again, it sounds like a perfectly fine contemporary but I need to keep asking the question will I ever actually pick this up? I think the answer is no for now.
Verdict: Remove
Just from looking at the cover, I probably would have removed this but that synopsis is really intriguing. I don't think I've ever read a similar premise before and it's really making me want to know more.
Verdict: Keep
I saw the phrase Uggs-deep and immediately knew that this book wasn't going to be for me.
Verdict: Remove
This has pretty average reviews and i'm not interested in zombies under most circumstances so this book isn't particularly intriguing to me.
Verdict: Remove
I don't really know why I added this in the first place. I'm sure others would be interested but this isn't really to my reading taste.
Verdict: Remove
That cover is really beautiful and better yet, i'm actually interested in reading it. I'm not really a fae/fairy person but this sounds like a fairytale and I'm nearly always hooked by the mention of ghosts.
Verdict: Keep
I remember this being a book I checked out of the library when I was in my pre-teens and I'm pretty sure I started reading it but ended up DNFing. I'm not really interested in picking it back up though so I'm going to remove it.
Verdict: Remove
This is a well known dystopian series and I think I own the first book although I'm not 100% sure. I would like to read it someday as I know it's one that a lot of people were reading around The Hunger Games and the Divergent era.
Verdict: Keep
Maybe I just like the title but something about this book is making me want to hold onto the idea of reading it just a little while longer!
Verdict: Keep
This Week:
Kept: 4
Removed: 6
Overall:
Kept: 28
Removed: 32
Still doing ok with removing books I won't ever pick up but I may have to bump my posts up to include 20 books because I'm adding them faster then I can remove them!
