For this week’s book tag, the lovely Hizatul tagged me to do the Burn, Rewrite or Reread Tag!
RULES:
- 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 six). (I am doing just 3 rounds!)
So let’s get started! 😀
Round 1
Burn:
Shopaholic & Sister (Sophie Kinsella) just because I don’t remember anything about this book. Haha.
Rewrite:
Sula (Toni Morrison) because I did enjoy the book but not entirely. Despite its short length, I didn’t much impressed by it as people were claiming it should.
Reread:
Quiet (Susan Cain) because this book literally changed my life! I have reread it several times, using it for college presentations and such. I truly loved this book and I am always recommending it for my introverted friends, because it explains so well our behaviors and traits!
Round 2
Burn:
The Marriage Plot (Jeffrey Eugenides) because I thought this was too slow and I still can’t believe I had the patience to finish it. It had some great messages to take from about adult relationships and life in general but overall, it was too boring for me.
Rewrite:
Shopaholic Takes Manhattan (Sophie Kinsella), what are the odds of another Kinsella book entering the mix eh? I honestly enjoyed this one. It’s the second installment in the famous Shopaholic series and I honestly can’t remember much of it. But I do remember how irritating the character, Becky, can be so maybe she needs to take it down a notch. But not too much since that is what makes her funny and memorable.
Reread:
The Book Thief (Markus Zusak), oh what a wonderful book this was. This book started my love for historical fiction. Albeit a bit slow, I truly loved the characters, plot and writing and miss the devastating ending to this hauntingly beautiful story.
Round 3
Burn:
The First Phone Call from Heaven (Mitch Albom) not because I despise it, it was quite a good read. But only because I had to choose something for the burn category. LOL.
Rewrite:
A Street Cat Named Bob (James Brown) was an enjoyable read for me but it felt too basic with the writing. The message of humanity and kinship with animals was great, I just wished editors took their time giving it a more eloquent feel. But the success of this book clearly reflects how well received this book has been!
Reread:
The Ballroom (Anna Hope) is one of my favourite 2016 reads. It was so beautifully written, poignant and a great reflection of early 20th century mental institution conditions. It was such a unique story that I truly recommend it for everyone!
