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 one book to 1132. Thanks to the #Readathon, I finished several books, but I had bought several books and added a couple to my wishlist.
This week’s books:
Days of Dreams and Laughter by Lucy Maud Montgomery – KEEP. This is one of the few books by Montgomery that I haven’t read. I happened upon it in a used bookstore and immediately bought it.
The Raven Spell by Luanne G. Smith – KEEP. I’m a sucker for a paranormal mystery set in Victorian England.
Whisky Galore by Compton Mackenzie – KEEP. This book takes place in Scotland during WWII. It was published in 1947 and is supposed to be comedic. I doubt it will be anything like any of the other WWII novels I’ve read, and I’m looking forward to it.
For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten- KEEP. I bought this book because it’s a retelling of “Little Red Riding Hood,” but I’m hesitant because the second genre listed after Fantasy is Romance.
The Maid by Nita Prose – KEEP. This was one of the picks for the Fantastic Strangelings book club. If I remember correctly, there’s also a movie on Netflix. I want to read the book first, of course.
My want-to-read shelf is steady at 1130 books. I wasn’t sure about a couple of these books, but I doubt I’ll let go of any of the books in the next post.
