The Books
Soul in Darkness by Wendy Higgins
As I mentioned last week I love Wendy Higgins's books and will probably read any genre she attempts so I'm definitely hanging onto this one. Plus a retelling of the Cupid/Psyche mythology?? Yes Please!!
JUDGEMENT: Stay
Watching You by Shannon Greenland
The blurb for this book sounded good when I first read it but I just read a little bit of the beginning of the book on Amazon and I couldn't really get into it.

Oh My Goth by Gena Showalter
I love Gena Showalter's contemporary romance but this book doesn't do it for me. I think I only added it because I entered a Goodreads giveaway. I do love the cover though!
JUDGEMENT: Go
Scream All Night by Derek Milman
I added this book because it reminded me of A Midsummer Night's Scream by R.L. Stine. Again, I love the cover but I find the writing a bit offensive after reading a small excerpt on Amazon. I'll pass on this one.

Finale by Stephanie Garber
Yes, I will be keeping this book. End of story.

Winterwood by Shea Ernshaw
I loved The Wicked Deep and I adore Shea's writing style and I can't wait to hear the full details of Winterwood. It sounds amazing already!!!
JUDGEMENT: Stay
Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas
I've preordered my copy, I've caught up on the TOG series, and I am oh-so-impatiently awaiting October 23!!!
JUDGEMENT: Stay
It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time by Kylie Scott
Seriously?!?! This book was on my TBR list TWICE? I just removed this book last week. 🤣
JUDGEMENT: Go
Sawkill Girls by Claire Legrand
The blurb for this book sounds amazing and I put my preorder in last weekend. Definitely anticipating this one!
JUDGEMENT: Stay
Before She Ignites by Jodi Meadows
This book has been wobbling between maybe-and-maybe-not since it first came out. I like the cover but the blurb doesn't appeal to me and when I read an excerpt I didn't really want to read further so I'll let it go for now...
JUDGEMENT: Go
TBR Status:
Books Deleted: 5
TBR Count: 17
I'm really cutting this TBR down, soon I should be down to a list I can crack through by the end of the year (except in the cases of books that don't release until next fall).
