bibliophilewanderlust suggested I try out of the tags she recently did- Burn, Rewrite, or Reread book tag. I had so much fun reading hers, I’m kind of excited to see what I get.
The rules are as follows:
- Randomly choose 3 books (Tip: Use the “Sort > Random” option on your Goodreads’ Read shelf.).
- For each group, decide which book to burn, which one to rewrite, and which to reread (a lot like Kiss, Marry, Kill).
- Repeat until you completed three rounds (or five).
Round One:
Ouch, this is a hard one because I gave these three books a 4/5 star rating.
BURN: Dead Witch Walking. Honestly, I don’t want to burn this book but compared to the other two books, it was my least favorite. So sad…
REWRITE: Reckoning. Even though I really enjoyed this book, I felt terribly sad for the main character Emma. I wouldn’t change much but I possibly make it so things for her don’t go from undesirable to tragic. Maybe give her a little break..
REREAD: Beautiful Player. Oh man, I just love this book and series.
Round Two:
BURN:House of Night. The series showed up when I did this but either way I would burn the books. At first I really enjoyed them but I hated how morally compromised the main character became. Now I just absolutely hate the series!
REWRITE: Dominic. I really did enjoy this book but I would 100% cut back on the language. I am not afraid of swear words but this book was a little over the top. It could use a trimming.
REREAD: Beautiful Stranger. Wow, I think goodreads is trying to tell me something. Maybe I should read this series again. If you haven’t read it, you have to. It’s sexy, fun, and full of strong confident heroines and alpha males.
Round Three
BURN: Down London Road. I know, I am sorry but I hated this book. I liked the writing but it was the main character Jo that pushed me away. I don’t care how unfortunate Jo’s life is or how the author tries to twist her story, in the end she is still a gold digger. She still only dates rich men in hopes they will take care, a.k.a provide for, and eventually she tries to trick them into marriage.
REWRITE: Fever. The story plot is too similar to the first book in this series. I would rewrite it so the idea was the same but the plot itself didn’t follow the same steps as the first book.
REREAD: Caged. I loved the romance and secrets. It’s impossible not to become invested in the main character when so much is happening. You just feel for her and her situation.
I would love to know what you thought of my choices. Have you read any of these books? Would you choose the same way?
Happy Wednesday Everyone!!
So glad you did this tag! I also didn’t like the House of Night series. I got to finish 2 books from it but never continued.

I’m glad I’m not the only one. I thought the series had an interesting plot but the way the author took it.. I couldn’t stomach it.

I agree. It had so much potential to it at first.
