1. The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger
I have seen an almost equal amount of people loving and hating this book. I do own a copy of it so I plan on reading it.
Verdict: Keep
2. Anne Of Green Gables by L.M Montgomery
Well, it’s a classic and I almost never say no to a classic even if it takes me a million years to get to it.
Verdict: Keep
3. Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins
This is a YA Paranormal book with witches and vampires or something. This book has some good reviews so I’m tempted to keep it but I hardly read anything from this genre anymore. It could be fun but there’s a high chance I’ll never read this.
Verdict: Delete
4. Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
This book sounds way too interesting and has too many good reviews to delete. Its possible I won’t like it and will not get to it anytime soon but I’d still like to keep it.
Verdict: Keep
5. Obsidian (Lux #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
I tried reading this book a while back and just thinking about it makes me feel annoyed now. Nothing was happening, the protagonist seemed like an idiot and the male character was a jerk.
Verdict: Delete
6. Under the Never Sky (Under the Never Sky #1) by Veronica Rossi
A YA Dystopian Romance book, The reason I want to keep this book is that the plot sounds actually simple and it has good reviews.
Verdict: Keep
7. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer #1)
by Michelle Hodkin
These decisions are getting harder and harder to make. This book has highly mixed reviews. I’m gonna keep it for now.
Verdict: Keep
8. Unearthly (Unearthly #1) by Cynthia Hand (Goodreads Author)
Another YA fantasy book but this one has a plot that I couldn’t give less of a crap about.
Verdict: Delete
9. Wonder (Wonder #1) by R.J. Palacio
I really want to read this book so I’m obviously keeping it.
Verdict: Keep
10. Seraphina (Seraphina #1) by Rachel Hartman
This book seems like a more mature fantasy read and since it has dragons, I can’t pass it up.
Verdict: Keep
Final Verdict: Deleted 3 out of 10 books

I’m a slacker, I’ve only read Catcher in the Rye, 35 years ago… But I still remember it – awesome
me too!
That’s great!
I have never read Catcher in the Rye. I just added one of the books you deleted from your TBR to my TBR 😀
That just proves that every book is not for everyone and there’s someone for every book 😀
Let me know if you enjoy seraphina!! I have the book on my shelf just havent gotten around to reading it yet.
Sure I will 🙂
Almost all of these are on my TBR or are books I’ve already read. You have great taste lol!
Haha these are mostly books I added to my tbr while watching booktube
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer is the one I most want to read off this list. Mainly due to the quotes I’ve seen on Goodreads from it!
Under the Never Sky looks beautiful with it’s new cover!
It does!
Monica people unite! I need to go through and do this, too. Not too shabby only deleting three books!
You should, its really fun!
Great post! I love Miss. Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children and The Catcher in the Rye! Both are wonderful books. I hope you enjoy them!
Thanks! Hope I will 🙂
I have read The catcher in the rye and wonder out of these.
Catcher in the rye has mixed feelings from me too but I liked it overall.
About wonder, just one thing go read that now. It’s one of the best books I’ve ever ever read.
I’ll really try to read Wonder soon. Reading Catcher In The Rye right now!
Try it soon!!
Great post. I loved Obsidian. The book, well the series, I found really interesting. It certainly got better as the story developed.
That’s good 🙂 I have heard some people say that it gets better.
The Catcher in the Rye is one that splits the readers into two camps, and only two camps: love or hate, and it’s not even an exaggeration. Glad to hear you’ll be keeping it and hope you’ll enjoy the ride. 😀
I actually just started reading it and I can see that! I’m looking forward to finding out how I’ll feel about it.
Under the Never Sky was amazing! I have to re-read it soon so that I can continue with the series 🙂
Great! Maybe I’ll read it someday too
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 🙂
