This was “created” by Lost in a Story!
The Rules:
- 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 synopses of the books
- Decide: keep it or should it go?
- Keep track of where you left off so you can pick up there next week!

Book #140
The Ghosts of Heaven by Marcus Sedgwick
Date Added: August 4th, 2015
I really loved “Midwinterblood” it was the perfect kind of weird and I want to read more of Sedgwick’s books.
The Judgement: Keep
Book #141
Revolver by Marcus Sedgwick
Date Added: August 4th, 2015
Once again, Marcus Sedgwick. I heard good things about this one and it’s short.
The Judgement: Keep
Book #142
The Stars Never Rise by Rachel Vincent
Date Added: August 4th, 2015
This one is a dystopian with soul-sucking demons, it sounds awesome and I got a copy really cheap from Book Outlet so I’m excited to read it. Eventually.
The Judgement: Keep
Book #143
The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma
Date Added: August 4th, 2015
A magical realism/paranormal story that I feel will be odd but in a good kind of way, I hear Nova Ren Suma’s writing is very unique!
The Judgement: Keep
Book #144
Menagerie by Rachel Vincent
Date Added: August 5th, 2015
Because who doesn’t love a good circus book? Plus I have heard a lot of good things.
The Judgement: Keep
Book #145
Under A Painted Sky by Stacey Lee
Date Added: August 6th, 2015
A YA western featuring a Chinese main character, of course I want to read it! Plus I’ve heard tons of good things about it.
The Judgement: Keep
Book #146
The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson
Date Added: August 7th, 2015
I basically HAVE to keep any and all Brandon Sanderson books on my TBR, there is no negotiating with myself on this.
The Judgement: Keep
Book #147
Archivist Wasp by Nicole Kornher-Stace
Date Added: August 12th, 2015
This seems like a wonderfully strange book, about a girl who hunts ghosts and ventures to the underworld to hunt one and to learn more about the pre-apocalyptic world. It really does sound fantastic!
The Judgement: Keep
Book #148
Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins
Date Added: August 13th, 2015
Honestly I didn’t think this would be a book I’d ever want to read but it sounds like so much fun with all of the gowns and tiaras but also the badassery. Hopefully it’s as light-hearted and fun as it sounds!
The Judgement: Keep
Book #149
The Glass Arrow by Kristen Simmons
Date Added: August 13th, 2015
This sounds like it would be an okay read especially since it’s compared to “The Handmaid’s Tale” but with the mixed reviews and my lost interest I think I’m going to have to get rid of it.
The Judgement: Go
