Here’s how it works:

Go to your goodreads to-read shelf.
Order on ascending date added.
Take the first 5 (or however many you want! if you’re feeling adventurous) books
Read the synopses of the books
Decide: keep it or BURN it?

It was a pleasure to burn.

Current Goodreads TBR shelf count: 260

Just Friends – KEEP – I’m a sucker for the cliche “just friends” plot so…
Girls Made of Snow and Glass – BURN – too much on my TBR so this one’s out. It’s mildly intriguing but I read a few spoiler-y reviews accidentally (I don’t mind reading them) but it just doesn’t seem worth my time anymore.
Invictus – BURN – no longer interested
The Tiger’s Watch (Ashes of Gold #1) – KEEP – I have to be completely honest and admit that I’m keeping it solely for the really beautiful cover, because LOOK AT IT!
Faster Than Normal: Turbocharge Your Focus, Productivity, and Success with the Secrets of the ADHD Brain – KEEP – I added this fairly recently and I am still very interested in the idea of being BETTER, FASTER, and MORE EFFICIENT.
The End of Average: How We Succeed in a World That Values Sameness – KEEP – I actually added this at the same time as #5 – if I remember correctly, from one of those SUCCESS podcast episodes I listen to on the way to work. I love it. Because who really wants to be merely average? As for me, I never claim to be one – either I’m already above or below – and if it’s below, I aim to be above.
High Performance Habits: How Extraordinary People Become That Way – KEEP – similar reasons to #5 and #6
The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy (Guide, #2) – KEEP – Admittedly, I thought TGGTVAV is overrated and overhyped, but I did think Felicity was pretty badass. I mean if it’s anything like book 1, it will be a fairly quick read so I’ll take a risk and give it a chance.
Fierce Like a Firestorm(Hibiscus Daughter, #2) – KEEP – I got Wicked Like a Wildfire in a Fairyloot box last year and really liked it so I’m curious where the story is going.
All the Wandering Light (Even the Darkest Stars #2) – KEEP – Even the Darkest Stars was one of my favorite Fairyloot reads so I’m definitely excited for the sequel – I loved Kamzin, and I think the plot is so unique and interesting!
Getting Off Clean – KEEP – I don’t even remember where I got this book from, but you could probably guess what it’s about based on the cover! Purely a guilty pleasure read. This was probably one of my recommended reads after I finished Call Me By Your Name
King of Scars(Nikolai Duology, #1) – KEEP – my only complaint is that I was thinking it was going to be a trilogy, so it’s one book short than what I was expecting..
