WHOO TAG TIME!
Thanks so much to Johnathan Fisher for tagging me to do this!
THE RULES:
- Randomly choose 3 books (pro tip: use the “Sort > Random” option on your Goodreads’ read shelf).
- For each group, decide which book to burn, which one to rewrite, and which to reread (like Marry, Boff, Kill).
- Repeat until you completed three rounds (or six) (or however many you want to do). – PSA I DID FIVE BECAUSE IT WAS QUITE FUN
ROUND ONE:
BURN: The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith – this one was a nice little love story… but something wasn’t quite right if you get my jist
REWRITE: Four Warned by Jeffrey Archer
REREAD: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by JKR
ROUND TWO:
BURN: A Clergyman’s Daughter by George Orwell – I mean, even Orwell wanted it burnt, so…. sorry, this just didn’t match up to his other novels!
REWRITE: The Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan – I KNOW, ME ‘REWRITING’ A RIORDAN NOVEL?! But this one seemed like an imitation of Percy Jackson. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED IT, but Magnus was a little too similar.
REREAD: Doctor Who: Eleven Doctors, Eleven Stories – I NEED THE TWELFTH DOCTOR’S EDITION TOOOOOOOOO
ROUND THREE:
BURN: The Amazing Mind of Alice Makin by Alan Shea – okay so this was actually an amazing book and I really suggest reading it BUT I HAD TO CHOOSE ONE OKAY?!
REWRITE: These Shallow Graves by Jennifer Donnelly – I loved this book too! WHY THIS TAG, WHY?!
REREAD: Burial Rites by Hannah Kent – I loved this book so much I went out and bought my own copy after I’d borrowed from the library WHICH I NEVER DO so yeah.
ROUND FOUR:
BURN: What’s Left of Me by Kat Zhang – pretty sure this was a series but I obviously had no interest in carrying it on! I remember vaguely enjoying it though 😀
REWRITE: Don’t Even Think About It by Sarah Mlynowski – a few things I wanted to change in this
REREAD: Am I Normal Yet? by Holly Bourne – I mean I want to reread all of her books anyway so into this pile it goes…
ROUND FIVE:
BURN: Ways to Live Forever by Sally Nicholls – I actually really enjoyed this book but I HAD NO OTHER OPTION
REWRITE: The Whale Rider by Witi Ihimaera – This was such a great Maori folk-tale type book which you should definitely read!
REREAD: Shiver by Maggie Steifvater – again I want to read the whole series, so here we go…
So this is harder than it looks.
Those are my piles! What do you think? Do you agree, disagree?
