Book #400
Nemesis by Brendan Reichs
Date Added: September 21st, 2016
This book has a lot going on in the synopsis: a girl who is murdered every 2 years only to awaken just fine, a boy who has nightmares of death, and a giant asteroid heading straight for the Earth. It sounds weird but also the good kind of weird.
The Judgement: Keep
Book #401
Overturned by Lamar Giles
Date Added: September 21st, 2016
The main character must navigate the Las Vegas Underground in order to find out who framed her father for murder. I’m a sucker for Vegas themed books for some reason….
The Judgement: Keep
Book #402
Amy Chelsea Stacie Dee by Mary G. Thompson
Date Added: September 23rd, 2016
I just don’t think this one sounds all that unique among all of the other mystery/thrillers out there.
The Judgement: Go
Book #403
The Call by Peadar O’Guilin
Date Added: October 6th, 2016
Irish mythology and also man eating fairies? Sign me up.

Keeping for the bounty hunters, illegal gaming, and gorgeous cover.
The Judgement: Keep
Book #405
Defy The Stars by Claudia Gray
Date Added: October 12th, 2016
Interstellar war, robots, and another gorgeous cover! It’s almost kind of my mission in life to read all the YA sci-fi….
The Judgement: Keep
Book #406
Shadowshaper by Daniel Jose Older
Date Added: October 20th, 2016
This one just doesn’t really seem like my cup of tea.
The Judgement: Go
Book #407
A Taste for Monsters by Matthew J. Kirby
Date Added: October 24th, 2016
Historical fiction isn’t really my thing and this one just kind of sounds boring.
The Judgement: Go
Book #408
Frozen Charlotte by Alex Bell
Date Added: October 26th, 2016
I love, love, love YA horror and just plain creepy books and this one has spooky dolls!
The Judgement: Keep
Book #409
Reign the Earth by A.C. Gaughen
Date Added: October 27th, 2016
I enjoy reading YA fantasy that has some darker elements and I think this book has that.
The Judgement: Keep
Book #410
The Black Witch by Laurie Forest
Date Added: October 27th, 2016
This book got a lot of bad rep when it was first published but I’ve also seen a lot of reviews since then say that all of that bad rep wasn’t accurate. Either way I’d like to give it a read for myself.
The Judgement: Keep
Book #411
4 Wizards by Noelle Stevenson
Date Added: October 27th, 2016
I’ll add this back onto my TBR when there’s a pub date, but for now it’s just wasting space on my TBR!
The Judgement: Go
Book #412
The Glass Spare by Lauren DeStefano
Date Added: October 27th, 2016
Yeah, the reviews aren’t all that great for this one and I’m not interested anymore.
The Judgement: Go
Book #413
League of American Traitors by Matthew Landis

It’s a gladiator book, a female gladiator book.
The Judgement: Keep
Book #415
The Book Jumper by Mechthild Glaser
Date Added: October 27th, 2016
As much as I love the idea of “book jumping”, I mean what book lover wouldn’t, I’ve heard this is kind of slow and boring.
The Judgement: Go
Book #416
The Abyss Surrounds Us by Emily Skrutskie
Date Added: October 27th, 2016
Pirates and sea monsters! Also great reviews!
The Judgement: Keep
Book #417
Dark Breaks the Dawn by Sara B. Larson
Date Added: October 27th, 2016
Nope, sounds like another “meh” YA fantasy.
The Judgement: Go
Book #418
The Elementalist by V.V. Mont
Date Added: October 27th, 2016
Another book I’ll add back when there’s a definite pub date, but right now it doesn’t look like it’ll be happening anytime soon.
The Judgement: Go
Book #419
The Traitor’s Kiss by Erin Beaty
Date Added: October 27th, 2016
Once again this one sounds like a really cliche YA fantasy that probably focuses too much on the romance for me.
The Judgement: Go
Book #420
Heroesville by Cassie James
Date Added: October 27th, 2016
Eh. Just don’t really have any interest in reading it anymore.
The Judgement: Go
Book #421
Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson

I love a good mystery/thriller…
The Judgement: Keep
Book #422
Long Lankin by Lindsey Barraclough
Date Added: October 20th, 2016
This one seems like it might be a little too long and slow for me but I’m still here for the creepy….

Awesome post! Lots of choice lol. I’m glad that you’ll read The Black Witch for yourself; I know I will, since I never thought the bad reviews were legit.

Thank you! I’m glad you agree on The Black Witch, I mean right away there were so many one star ratings and bad reviews calling it racist and homophobic but since then I have also seen plenty of other reviews deny that and rate it highly. I usually like to see for myself when books get that kind of mixed opinion. 🙂

Right? I did listen to about 3 hours of the audio book last year and I got no vibes of those things people were saying. But I hope to get back to it soon 🙂

I’ve read and liked Amy Chelsea Stacie Dee and Shadowshaper, but I happened to find both of them secondhand so they moved up my TBR quite quickly at that! Such hard choices sometimes 🙂

Definitely some hard choices sometimes, but they can always be added back later on too, that’s the beauty of the TBR, haha! 🙂

I’m glad you kept some of these, like Frozen Charlotte and The Call (both on my TBR) and Warcross (so good)! I’ve been thinking about removing The Glass Spare from mine. I feel bad about it, though… I was offered an eARC last year, then later last year I won a “surprise stack” giveaway that ended up having a print ARC (which I’ve traded away), and then I ended up with a finished copy from Owlcrate. But I just really don’t care very much about reading ANY of them.

I actually was debating on Frozen Charlotte until I read the synopsis again and was like “Nope! Definitely need to keep that!” haha! That’s kind of funny with The Glass Spare, it apparently really wants you to read it! It sounded interesting but I’ve seen some meh reviews for it and it just seems like it doesn’t bring anything new to the table as far as YA Fantasy books go.
