Burn, Rewrite, Reread Tag

So I haven’t been explicitly tagged for this, but when Haven did this, she technically tagged “anyone and everyone” so I’m technically allowed to do this because it sounds like so much fun. The idea for this tag is, in case you don’t know, to randomize your read shelf, pick the first three books, and list whether you’d burn, rewrite, or reread each of the books on there. So let’s go!

Round 1:

Burn: The Fill-In-Boyfriend by Kasie West – I remember liking this plenty when I read it, but ultimately the main character and all her relationships with people were much to shallow to be believable. Pass for now!

Rewrite: Let the Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger – Can you believe I rated this five stars in 2014? As I remember, the whole book centers around a a rather cheesy romance that I would love to rewrite, but the world-building and main character were super fun.

Reread: The Sea of Monsters, by Rick Riordan – I haven’t read the Percy Jackson series in…eons. I would love to reread the series and get some insight into my obsessed fifth-grade self. 😉

Round 2:

Burn: Liars, Inc, by Paula Stokes – My review of this was initially very favorable, but I remember little to nothing about this book, which says something about its quality. Rereading my review makes me think that I was young and naive and didn’t understand how game-changing some flaws can be. Nope!

Rewrite: Angel Burn, by L.A. Weatherly – This is really a rather typical angel book, but pretty enjoyable. I’d love to have seen less (or none) of the love triangle, though.

Burn, Rewrite, Reread Tag

Hey guys! I know, it’s been like 80 years since nivs @ ilvermoreads tagged me for this post, but I’ve only finished it now and I definitely want to share it with you. The goal is to randomize your Goodreads “read” shelf, choose the first three books, and state whether you would Burn, Rewrite, or Reread them. Let’s get to it!

Round 1

Burn: Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge – The concept behind this book was super interesting but the world building and plotting was much too directionless and complex. Nope!

Rewrite: Throne Of Glass by Sarah J. Maas – Ah, the bane of my existence. There are a shitload of things I’d love to change about this book, starting from that whiny ass main character who calls herself an assassin. I do think it could have been a better book if some aspects were written better.

Reread: Lola And The Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins – This book was so cute and a perfect quick contemporary read. Would love to visit it soon!

Round 2

Burn: Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout – I read this book a long time ago and I did like it, but I doubt I would enjoy it as much if I read it now.

Rewrite: Gardenia by Kelsey Sutton – Really liked the contemporary aspect of this novel, but would totally rewrite the lackluster thriller/mystery plotline.

Reread: Six Of Crows by Leigh Bardugo – Um, do I really need to explain myself on this one? I think I’ve raved about this book enough 😀

Round 3

Burn: The Sea Of Tranquility by Katja Millay – I must have gave into the hype during my time reading this book, because I rated it 3.5 stars, a completely inaccurate rating. I remember strongly disliking it after (not much) contemplation.

Rewrite: History Is All You Left Me by Adam Silvera – There’s actually not much I would change about this one because I liked it well enough, but I could have used more dialogue and less commentary. Great book though.

Reread: Champion by Marie Lu – Man, it’s been ages since I’ve visited the Legend series! I remember loving this book though and I’m definitely planning on rereading the trilogy soon. Hopefully before I get my hands on Warcross.

Round 4

Burn: Luxe by Anna Godberson – This isn’t a bad book necessarily, but when compared to the other two listed, I kind of have to put it in this section.

Rewrite: The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski – I actually dislike this book so much more than Luxe, but it really could have been so much better with better character writing and world-building.

Reread: The Love That Split The World by Emily Henry – Excluding the cringey instalove romance, I actually quite enjoyed this book and would like to read it again soon.

Round 5

Burn: Mila 2.0 by Debra Driza – My god, I read this book years ago! I honestly don’t remember much about it, and I guess that would be a sign that I didn’t have that much love for it.

Rewrite: Amy and Roger’s Epic Detour by Morgan Matson – My own expectations deceived me in the case of this one, but I’m sure I would have enjoyed it so much more if certain plot points were written differently.

Reread: A Great And Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray: Another book that I haven’t touched for years, but I do remember it being one of the most interesting and diverse novels I’ve ever read. Mixed with the fantasy element, it turned out to be a pretty fascinating read and I would love to reread it again. I’ll have to if I want to continue the series.

Let me know your thoughts below and I tag … anyone and everyone! Go! 🙂
