Current TBR shelf: 3960
Last week's TBR shelf: 3950
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?
Freak Show by James St. James
This does sound decent but it was published 13 years ago and I just feel like there are more recent books about LBTQ+ characters that I'm more interested in. I'm also a bit wary about the fact that the author is a 'media personality' as well. I'd definitely still pick this up if I spotted it in my library or secondhand book shop but for now I'm going to take it off my TBR.
Verdict: Remove
Return to Sender by Julia Alvarez
This sounds like a sweet middle grade but just not a book I'm interested in anymore unfotunately.
Verdict: Remove
Dramarama by E. Lockheart
I do like E. Lockheart and I really like the idea of reading about a summer theatre camp so this one can stay.
Verdict: Keep
Plus by Veronica Chambers
It's got some mixed reviews but I'm down for some self-love and representation in pluz-size characters.
Verdict: Keep
This Is What I Did by Ann Dee Ellis
Again, this is a book that has nothing overtly wrong with it but just don't have much interest in at this point in my life.
Verdict: Remove
The Killer's Cousin by Nancy Werlin
This is described as a YA thriller but it does sound pretty basic in terms of plot and the reviews aren't amazing either.
Verdict: Remove
Locked Inside by Nancy Werlin
This is another YA thriller from the same author and again, doesn't really grab my attention much so it's one i'll pass on.
Verdict: Remove
Just One Wish by Janette Rallison
I was actually prepared to remove this one but it does actually sound very cute and the ratings are pretty good on Goodreads. I think i've just become actively interested in reading this one!
Verdict: Keep
Boys, Girls & Other Hazardous Materials by Rosalind Wiseman
I don't see myself picking this up anymore, the plot is very generic and I can already see the ending from a mile off.
Verdict: Remove
Jumping Off Swings by Jo Knowles
I'm sure someone else would really like this book but teen pregnancy has never been a topic I've particularly enjoyed reading about in the past.
Verdict: Remove
This Week:
Kept: 3
Removed: 7
Overall:
Kept: 49
Removed: 70
