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?
My shelf is up again to 1144. I finished a book, but I added a couple more to my wishlist.
This week’s books:
The League of Beastly Dreadfuls by Holly Grant – KEEP. I love darker Middle-Grade Fantasy.
The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins – KEEP. I think I started this book several years ago, but never finished it. I probably got distracted by other books. I will attempt to read this one again at some point.
A College of Magics by Caroline Stevermer – KEEP. I’m a little skeptical of this one, despite my love of Middle-Grade Fantasy, because the character and place names seem ridiculous and like the author is trying too hard to be original. I’m willing to give it a chance, though.
Kat, Incorrigible by Stephanie Burgis – KEEP. This one looks too cute to not be worth keeping.
The Man Who Laughs by Victor Hugo – GO. The synopsis sounds far too depressing for this book to remain on my wishlist.
My want-to-read shelf is back down to 1143 books. The next post will be mostly ebooks I own and I don’t have a clue from first glance if I’ll want to keep them or not.
