Hello guys! Happy Saturday!
This time, I am continuing with the Amazon freebies I have collected over the years. Yes, I own all of them, but do I really want to read them?
Credit for this tag goes to Lost in a Story.
How it works:
❤ Go to your Goodreads to-read shelf.
❤ Order on ascending date added.
❤ Take the first 5 (or 10 if you’re feeling adventurous) books.
❤ Read the synopsis of the books.
❤ Decide: keep it or should it go
Here’s the next patch:
➥ The Witch and Other Stories by Anton Chekhof
I love Anton Chekhof’s stories, and I have loved them since I was a kid. I remembered how happy I was when I saw this book being free on Amazon.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Notes to Shakespeare, Volume III: The Tragedies by Samuel Johnson
I love Shakespeare, and I remember I downloaded this book to help me with a project. But will I enjoy reading it now. Not sure…
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ Second Chances by Angela Kelman
Oh, romances. Thank you, next.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ Another Broken Wizard by Colin Dodds
Again, not sure what this book is, or what it’s doing invading my TBR list.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ A Little Book for Christmas by Cyrus Townsend Brady
As this is classified as a classic, I think I should read this around Christmas time. It’s a short read, and even if it’s bad, it would be festive, right?
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ The Ultimate Yao Ming Fun Fact And Trivia Book by Mark Peters
One part of me is like – why on Earth do you have this. Some of you might remember the website 9GAG as a really good meme factory back in the days. I loved it when I was a teen, and Yao Ming kept having memes made of him. So I wanted to read this book. It’s also just 30 pages, so I decided to keep it.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Answer That! 1980s Quiz by Naomi Dennison
I have always loved the 1980s, as I grew up knowing a lot of the references. I will keep this, only to see if I am still as full as knowledge as I was when I was a kid.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Betting the Farm by Alyssa Lin Palmer
A short story and a prequel. I will give it a chance.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ The Summer Of… by D.C. Lowe
Not too confident about this, so removing it.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ Element, Part 1 (The Natalie Vega Saga, #1) by C.M. Doporto
Not sure about this. I think I will only keep it, as I haven’t read anything similar before.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
I am only removing 4 books from my TBR this time. Not the best results, but we are still making progress.
Chipping away slowly.

Great post. Four is still pretty good I think!
Good job – I think I would have tossed most of these
The Yao Ming one made me smile. At 30 pages, maybe I’ll add it to my list.
Nice one. I would like the Answer That! 80s Quiz too. I loved the 80’s.
It was a freebie on Amazon – you should check if it is still free 🙂
Well done. I really should try this some day.
