❤ Read the synopsis of the books.
❤ Decide: keep it or should it go
Here’s the next patch:
➥ Relic (Pendergast, #1) by Douglas Preston
I am actually not certain why I have this book on my TBR, but I think someone mentioned it to me a while ago. I love thrillers, but I don’t think this one intrigued me.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ Waterfall Effect by K.K. Allen
I remember wanting to read this book, as it’s about mountain survival. But it is also a romance, so I am not sure. Guys – let me know what to do with this one. I will wait a week and then remove it.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ Wicked Like a Wildfire (Hibiscus Daughter, #1) by Lana Popović
Lana is an author born in Serbia, a neighbour country to my country, Macedonia. And the cover is so delicious. And the story seems so great. And I own this book. Why is not in my READ shelf already?
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Save the Date by Morgan Matson
It seems like a read I might enjoy only in a certain mood. I also have no knowledge on how this hopped on my list.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ The Astonishing Color of After by Emily X.R. Pan
This is a book that raised a lot of hype. The synopsis reminds me of a book I read when I was little – Taro The Dragon Boy by M. M…(edit).
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ A Study in Charlotte(Charlotte Holmes, #1) by Brittany Cavallaro
A Sherlock Holmes re-creation, with the detective being a girl. GIMME!
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Defy the Stars (Constellation, #1) by Claudia Gray
Seems like a nice sci-fi story, but intimidates me, and I am not 100% sure if I will enjoy it.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ Caraval (Caraval, #1) by Stephanie Garber
A big hype around this one. I want to read it so badly!!!
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ The Hidden Oracle (The Trials of Apollo, #1) by Rick Riordan
I want to read so many books from Mr. Riordan. Firstly, the Percy Jackson series, and then this one. I love Greek Mythology and always love reading these types of books.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Flame in the Mist (Flame in the Mist, #1) by Renee Ahdieh
Something smells of Mulan here. Nevertheless, I want to read it so badly!
Verdict: KEEP ☑
I really want to read Astonishing colour too, Caraval is good. Flame in the mist was a bit disappointing to me.
Oh, sorry to hear Flame in the mist was a disappointment. Hope your next read is a 5-star!
I think you made good choices with what to keep and what to toss. I sure love this activity, I may have to do this for myself too!
Thank you Nicole!
I admire your stamina – bravo!
Thank you!
I agree with your choices this week. I’m really glad you kept Caraval though – I adore that series.
Thank you Melanie!
I’d highly recommend Rick Riordans books they are brilliant. Caraval is also great too so I’m glad you kept that one.

Thank you Gemma!
Looks like a hard list to go through.
Yes, absolutely!
I am aware of most of these books and have seen good things about them. I think you chose well. 🙂
Thank you! <3
I’ve not read any of those books. I do fancy reading Carnival though so glad you kept it on your list.
Thank you!
ahh you did great with this one but I have to say I’m say seeing Defy the Stars go haha. It’s one of my most fave YA SciFi books hihi.
Awwwh, I am sorry to hear that. I will move it to the “maybe” shelf then 🙂
I have never read any of those
