I Need Help Again (1 Viewer)

[Lovely_Cornchips]

So I have 4 TBR shelves for reading.
I've done something similar to this in the past.
But I have really been struggling with reading as of late
so I need a creative solution to get me to pick up something and REALLY read it.

So comment a number between 1-22.
Then I will spin the random wheel thingie and it'll pick a shelf for me.
I'll have to grab a book based on the number you gave me and the shelf I'm given.

I'll do what I did last time where I read at least the first chapter-and I'll respond to your comment with the book name & author
also my thoughts on the first chapter.
You are ALWAYS welcome to ask me more after that post as well if you want to know more about said book.



PLEASE SAVE ME FROM MY SLUMP
(I usually re-read a favorite but I'm not in the mood for a re-read)

So this one gave me Shelf B and the book it landed on was Gearbreakers by Zoe Hana Mikuta.

TBH the first chapter was VERY confusing but intriguing. I want to know more.

Flip the Script by Lyla Lee.

First chapter was light and sweet and easy to read-though I do think it's a little wordy and overly explains things BUT I think it would be a quick and fun read based on the first chapter.

It originally landed on a book I just put on hold so I grabbed the next one which was Happiness Falls by Angie Kim. So the first chapter was very wordy, but it gave me a lot of questions that would hopefully be answered by the end of it. I will say it didn't pique my interest like I wanted it to considering this authors last book is in my personal hall of fame for amazing writing and story telling. So a bit of a let-down and not as addictive as her previous work for me.

The Poppy War by R.F.Kuang.

So the first chapter was very dense-25 pages which made it drag a bit for me. BUT that being said the storyline is super interesting, though my brain is rotting from school so this may be one better suited for when I am not studying.

The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness.

So far this is the most intriguing one for me. The first chapter was like 16 pages and I flew through it. The writing style is easy and nice, the story telling is simple but intriguing and I want to know more!!!

The Witchery by S.Isabelle

Seems like an easy enough read though 5 people were introduced in like 10 pages so that made it a little confusing and rushed feeling-but I think this has potential to be interesting and easy to get into if I read more of it.

Got Flight or Fright: 17 Turbulent Tales by a bunch of authors. It's a collection of short stories that take place in planes. I read the first one, it wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing either. I wanted it to be more horrific but it was interesting enough and sad given that it was set around a real tragic event that happened.

Ooh, i read this yrs ago but stalled on the next book(i borrowed Poppy War online from library) RF Kuang has won awards for her books and already has 2 standalone books after Poppy Wars trilogy: Babel, then Yellowface. I want to read Babel AND Yellowface next(Kuang is Chinese so the title is NOT problematic), but i just hvnt gotten round to it.
