Book #91
An Inheritance of Ashes by Leah Bobet
Date Added: July 22nd, 2015
This one sounded interesting but it hasn’t ever really interested me much after I added it and it has received “meh” reviews.
The Judgement: Go
Book #92
Half the World by Joe Abercrombie
Date Added: July 22nd, 2015
I absolutely loved “Half a King” so I am definitely going to get around to reading the sequel, so many plot twists!
The Judgement: Keep
Book #93
Dark Shimmer by Donna Jo Napoli
Date Added: July 23rd, 2015
This is a dark sort of retelling of the Evil Queen from Snow White that’s also set in medieval Venice. It sounds super unique and I already own a copy.

Book #94
Walk on Earth a Stranger by Rae Carson
Date Added: July 23rd, 2015
A western about a girl who has the ability to see gold veins during the Gold Rush era. It sounds good and I do like westerns so hopefully it turns out!
The Judgement: Keep
Book #95
The Emperor’s Blades by Brian Staveley
Date Added: July 23rd, 2015
I love fantasy especially fantasy with political intrigue which this book sounds like it has plenty of! I own a copy of this as well.
The Judgement: Keep
Book #96
Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers
Date Added: July 23rd, 2015
This one I debate a little back and forth on because it sounds good but I’m not sure if it will be good. It sounds like it could be a little trope-y but also assassins are awesome.
The Judgement: Keep
Book #97
Blood Red Road by Moira Young
Date Added: July 23rd, 2015
This sounds very “Mad Max”-esque which I like. I own a copy of this as well!
The Judgement: Keep
Book #98
The Declaration by Gemma Malley
Date Added: July 23rd, 2015
I tried reading this and it was just kind of boring and I kept it on my TBR because I own it but eeeehhhhhhh I really don’t want to finish it.
The Judgement: Go
Book #99
Genesis by Bernard Beckett
Date Added: July 23rd, 2015
A very, very short book that’s only 150 pages long! Its a sci-fi book about a futuristic Utopian city that’s holding old secrets and a girl races to uncover them. Honestly at only 150 pages I’ll keep it even if it isn’t as good as I hope it will be.
The Judgement: Keep
Book #100
Ultraviolet by R.J. Anderson
Date Added: July 23rd, 2015
While a few people seemed to have enjoyed this I just lost interest in reading this, it’s about a girl who is put into a mental institution for murdering a girl. I think there’s a spoilery element that comes into play but I won’t mention it, I just don’t think I’m ever going to get around to reading this.
The Judgement: Go
Have you read any of these? What did you think?
Do you think I should have kept any of these books?
Do you agree with any of my keeps or discards?
