I found this post on the Writerly Reader but the meme was started by Lost in a Story (not sure why the link is odd)

Here are the rules:

• Go to your goodreads to-read shelf.
• Order on ascending date added.
• Take the first 5 (or 10 (or even more!) if you’re feeling adventurous) books. Of course, if you do this weekly, you start where you left off the last time.
• Read the synopses of the books
• Decide: keep it or should it go?

There are 826 books on my to-read shelf. Yikes! I think a few of those can be tossed. An even scarier task would be to look at the books on my kindle but we will save that for another day. The books listed have been there since 2015.

Wrist update: This is my first attempt at real typing without a splint. I’m not sure how long I can keep this up 😉

The Books

Caught Read-Handed by Terrie Farley Moran

This is book 2 in a series. I haven’t read book 1…yet. Why is it on my Goodreads list? Beacuse it is a cozy mystery set in Florida. I have a soft spot for Southern cozies. BUT it dosen’t sound all that interesting. Kind of generic actually.

 

 

The Neptune Challenge by Polly Holyoke

This is also book 2 in a series. Ouch. I don’t know why I wanted to read this one. I love mermaids but most mermaid books are not what I wanted or expected. I think this one may be too young for me now. Maybe my kids wanted to read it…

 

 

Swan Dive by Kendel Lynn

Seriously! This is book 3 in a series. I need to start with book 1 ;D This sounds right up my alley. A cozy mystery surrounding the Nutcracker ballet. Sign me up. Where can I get a copy?

 

 

 

Spelled by Betsy Snow

Finally the first in a series. I want the book and the shoes. Can I have both? I don’t know if I want to buy the book or find it at the library but I think this is going to the top of my Fall TBR list. A retelling of the Wizard of Oz? Of course the library doesn’t own a copy.

 

Double Mint by Gretchen Archer

This is book 4 in the Davis Way series, but that’s okay becasue I’ve read the first 3 books. Sounds funny. I’ve loved them all and will read this one. It’s a Southern cozy 🙂

 

 

The Take Away

I deleated 2 books from my Goodreads list.

Added 1 book to my Fall TBR.

Placed 2 books on my  IGTIBID List. (I’ll get to it before I die)
