#eBookUnhaul2

Happy new year everyone!  Yes, I am still working on my end-of-year wrap-ups and getting those organized, I have a lot to catch up on with my end-of-year stats.  However, seeing it is a new year, I thought I would jump on and make a quick post about the eBooks that I am unhauling, some of them I have read and some I won’t be reading because I lost interest in reading them.

Without further ado, here are the eBooks I am unhauling:
Magonia by Maria Dahvana Headley
Starflight by Melissa Landers
Replica by Lauren Oliver
Game Six by Mark Frost
Never Never by Brianna Shrum
The Neverland Wars by Audrey Greathouse- Read it
A Thousand Nights by E.K. Johnston- Read it
Beauty by Robin McKinley- Read it
Mirror in the Sky by Aditi Khorana- Read it
Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson- Read it
Wicked by Gregory Maguire- Read it

#OnMyShelfTag

Today, I thought I would do something different. Today I am taking a popular BookTube Tag, the On My Shelf Tag, and doing it on my blog. I thought it would be something fun and different, I will also not be tagging anybody to do this. Last week, I asked people to give me a number between 1 and 105. Today, I am sharing those results.

Here are the results:
88- The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett: This book, while it does have its faults will always be one of my favorites, it’s a classic and one that I reread every once in a while.

82- Go Set A Watchman by Harper Lee: I haven’t read it yet.

33- Stealing Home by Becky Wallace: I find it a little ironic that the 33rd book on my shelf is a baseball book (if you know, you know), it’s also one of many baseball books on my shelf. I loved this book, it was a cute contemporary and it focused more on the business side of baseball rather than the game itself. It’s a great summer read.

22- Black Moon by Romina Russell: This is the third book in a series set in space, and it is a wild ride. 

52- Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder: I haven’t read it yet.

46- Rabbit by Patricia Williams: I haven’t read it yet.

9- Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, and A Dream by H.G. Bissinger: This book is a classic, and it’s a great story. It’s been a while since I’ve read it.

42- Hope Nation by Rose Brock: This an anthology of short stories from some of the most well-known YA authors that are heartbreaking yet hopeful. The stories are autobiographical.

78- Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein: The poems in this book are always so much fun to read, and some of them actually make you think.

13- A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab: This is the first book in an adult fantasy trilogy. The magic system in this book is very unique in the sense that not everyone can do magic. There are also four different London’s in this book, which sounds confusing until you read the book.

102- Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis: I adore this book, it’s one that I have reread a few times. It’s the fourth book in The Chronicles of Narnia series (yes, I read them in chronological C.S. Lewis order) in which the Pevensie children return to Narnia and find it much different than when they left it.

7- The Teammates: A Portrait of Friendship by David Halberstam: This book is a true story of friendship. It tells the story of Bobby Doerr, Ted Williams, Johnny Pesky, and Dom DiMaggio. It’s also about how Dom and Johnny take a road trip to visit Williams.

38- How To Love a Jamaican by Alexia Arthurs: This is a collection of engaging short stories about the experience of not only living in Jamaica but immigrating to America and the experience of being a Jamaican in America.

53- On The Banks of Plum Creek by Laura Ingalls Wilder- I haven’t read this yet.

66- A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle: I loved how different this book was and how one of the main themes is that everything isn’t always what it seems to be.

random-list

Today’s post is going to be quite different.  Today’s post is going to be an eBook unhaul, yes you read that right eBook unhaul.  You might be asking yourself what is an eBook unhaul, well an eBook unhaul is when you go through your eReader for me it’s a Nook Tablet and you delete books that you’ve come to the realization that you’re never going to read, books that you’ve already read with no intention of ever rereading them and essentially freeing up wasted space.  The books have also been removed from my Goodreads account.  Books that I have read will be marked with an *asterisk.
