Stacking The Shelves
April TBR
Another month is gone already??? I'm telling you this year is flying by. Once again I'm five days late on posting this. I've been in bit of a slump you can say. I haven't really felt like doing much other than watching Netflix. Damn you Netflix!!!!! Anywho here is my list of books I hope to read this month.
I notice that I have some big name books listed here. Some of them are a bit big on the page count. But as usual I have set my goal high. I failed miserably last month because of my slump. I'm hoping that I'm on my way out of it. So what are you planning to read this month?

Burn, Rewrite, or Reread
I've never done a tag before. I mean like NEVER! First time for everything right? This one seemed like it could be fun so I'm attempting it. I was tagged by Erin over at The Hardcover Lover . I saw that Kayla at The Thousand Lives had used a random number picker so I chose to do the same. I skipped over any books that were non-fiction.
Here are the rules. I'm copying and pasting straight from Kayla's page. There are three rounds, wherein I use a random number picker applied to my "read" shelf on Goodreads for three books, and then decide what I'll do to those three: burn, rewrite, or reread.
Round One
Animal Farm by George Orwell- Dare I say it.....BURN....Yes it's a classic but compared to the other two I would have to burn it.
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas - this one I would have to Reread....I loved this book immensely. It was one of my top three books I read last year.
Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley- This one I obviously have to Rewrite....I have an issue with how many times a certain word got used. I know you needed in it but I think it was definitely overused.
Round Two
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling- Do I even need to say it? Like who would burn OR rewrite a Harry Potter book?!?!? Definitely Reread!!!!
Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt- I had to read this for a college English class way back in 1996. Shhhh I know I'm up there in age. I didn't really enjoy it that much that second time I read it last year. So I'm going with Burn on this one.
The Selection by Kiera Cass- I recently read this series. I love it...I really do but it could use a Rewrite on some things in it though.
Round Three
Red Queen by Christopher Pike- Talk about tough yet not so tough decisions. Pike is my favorite author. BUT this book wasn't all that great so I'm going to have to Burn it. It hurts to do that.
Insurgent by Veronica Roth- This book drove me batty...like seriously. I can't tell you how many times I wanted to strangle Tris!!! This has to have a Rewrite. It could benefit it greatly,
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin- NOAH FREAKING SHAW!!!! Need I say more?!?!? 10000% Reread!!!!
I don't really have many followers on here. So I tag everyone that reads this post!!! Just make sure you let your readers know I tagged you. :)
