This is something I always think can round up a good discussion since hyped books are such a big part of the book blogging community, I mean after all it’s kind of our thing to talk about books and promote them! However, hype isn’t always a good thing and I’m here to discuss both the good and bad.

Book #130
The Calling by James Frey
Date Added: July 29th, 2015
I bought this when it first came out when I was wondering around Target looking for a book to buy, I really regret blindly buying it now of course. I have zero interest in even reading it. Plus I don’t hear good things about the author…..
The Judgement: Go
Book #131
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
Date Added: July 29th, 2015
I’m on the fence with this one because I think I will read it eventually (especially since my grandpa has been asking me if I’ve read it yet, forever) but just not soon. I have other books I’d rather get to.
The Judgement: Go
Book #132
White Cat by Holly Black
Date Added: July 31st, 2015
I know, I know. I said I think Holly’s books aren’t really for me but I do own this so I want to at least try it….and also I want to try “The Cruel Prince” because of the hype.
The Judgement: Keep
Book #133
Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier
Date Added: August 3rd, 2015
I actually don’t really remember why I added this one…..hm.
The Judgement: Go
Book #134
In The Shadow of Blackbirds by Cat Winters
Date Added: August 4th, 2015
I absolutely adored “The Steep & Thorny Way” and loved Cat’s writing so I’m really excited to read another of her books!
The Judgement: Keep
Book #135
The Uninvited by Cat Winters
Date Added: August 4th, 2015
Yep another Cat Winters book….
The Judgement: Keep
Book #136
Born of Illusion by Teri Brown
Date Added: August 4th, 2015
I love magic and magicians, it’s always a fun time for me so I’m excited to read this one!
The Judgement: Keep
Book #137
The Mad Scientist’s Daughter by Cassandra Rose Clarke
Date Added: August 4th, 2015
This one actually sounds pretty good, with robots and things, but I think I’ll just remove it until I read more of Clarke’s books and decide if I like her style first.
The Judgement: Go
Book #138
The Assassin’s Curse by Cassandra Rose Clarke
Date Added: August 4th, 2015
Okay so there are apparently PIRATES in this book so I’m going to keep it of course because I love me a good pirate story even if it’s minor pirates.
The Judgement: Keep
Book #139
Our Lady of the Ice by Cassandra Rose Clarke
Date Added: August 4th, 2015
This one sounds interesting, people living in a dome in Antarctica! I got a cheap copy on my Kindle so I’ll give it a shot.
The Judgement: Keep
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?
