Okay, so this post takes so much time for me every week, and not that I don’t love you guys, but I get the same 10-12 people who enter the giveaway every week. So it’s not like I’m adding any followers. Because of that, I’m going to maybe change how I do this, and maybe just go through each week and delete books on my list, and let you know how many I deleted. That’s what I’m trying this week. The giveaway may or may not continue after this week.
Books I’m Keeping:
- The Neighbor by Dean Koontz – because I’ve read the book this short story goes with.
- 45 Pounds by K.A. Barson – This is the kind of book I devour. I might need to read some more of these to help me get motivated to lose weight.
- Dead Zone by Robison Wells – I read the first, so really still want to read this second book.
- A Murder of Magpies by Sarah Bromley – this one still sounds interesting to me.
- Shutter by Courtney Alameda – another that still sounds interesting to me.
- Eye Candy by Tera Lynn Childs – I don’t remember this one, but it sounds good.
Books I’m tossing:
- Spark by Rachael Craw
- The Write Thing by Anthony Ramirez
- One, Two, Three by Elodi Nowodazkij
- The Space Between by Kristie Cook
- Mary Hades by Sarah Dalton
- Right for a Reason: Life, Liberty, and a Crapload of Common Sense by Miriam Weaver and Amy Jo Clark – I don’t read many political books anymore, but I follow these two on social media
- Elixir by Anna Abner
- Mirror X by Karri Thompson
- Awakening by Jeremy Laszlo
- Across the Ages by RaShelle Workman
- The Tesla Gate by John D. Mimms
- Ephemeral by Addison Moore
- Company Town by Madeline Ashby
- Two Girls Staring at the Ceiling by Lucy Frank
Final Thoughts:
Keeping 6 out of 20 this week, not so great. But still getting rid of more than I’m keeping, so that’s good. Last week I had 3,037 books left on my Goodreads TBR. I’m tossing 14 this week, leaving me at 3,027 on Goodreads.

The 14 books you are tossing are ones I’ve never heard of. I hope you do read Shutter–I still have that on my TBR, but it kind of scares me so I’d love to read your thoughts about it. Sorry you aren’t gaining followers through this weekly cleanup post–sharing your ARCs is such a generous thing to do.
I love scary books, so I just need to get a hold of Shutter to read. Thanks for always participating every week though!
I can’t wait to read The Neighbor. Koontz is a favorite author for me. And Shutter was creepy good!
He used to be an auto-buy author for me, but not so much anymore. I did like the story that this one goes with though, so will still read at some point. Thanks for stopping by!
I would choose Wardens of Eternity since I really enjoyed one of the author’s previous books! I love the idea of doing a post like this, but my husband built a Little Free Library for our yard, and I put anything I no longer want in there! Occasionally, I’ll hold on to books for giveaways, but typically they go in the LFL. 🙂
Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? ?
The sad thing is that all of these books are just on my Goodreads TBR, I don’t actually own any of them. I have a whole different list for those. :-). I went through those when I moved. Mostly. I love the Little Free Library thing!
[…] @ Lisa Loves Literature gives away three books from her ARC/Books for Trade shelves each […]
Fury is one ive been wanting to read. Alot of them are great books and alot I havent heard of.
Well hopefully you enter the giveaway and win!
I have not heard of most of these books except for Company Town which I also took off my TBR because the story is not what I thought, the synopsis can be misleading. Thanks for having the giveaway.
Yeah, I think that’s what I heard about it and why I kind of decided to let it go. Thanks for stopping by!
Okay, in that case I understand why you are changing up the format. Especially if it takes you so long to put them together. But I am glad you’re not entirely scrapping these posts as I do enjoy reading them!
I’ll probably keep doing the posts in some way, but may cut back the giveaways. I do get a lot done!
