Keep and read Archenemies! You definitely wanna continue in the Renegades Series because Archenemies has so many shocking things that happens in the book. Personally, I thought Archenemies was better than Renegades.

If you do continue and read Archenemies, I would highly recommend the audio book. I just finished it, and it is very well done. The story is a bit of a slow burn in the middle, but that's what makes audio so great.

Definitely understand about thrillers. I only keep my favorites but unless a long time goes by & you forget the twist or you're like me and like to re-read looking for the clues knowing the ending, I can see why that genre gets unhauled. I pretty much unhaul anything I don't think I will ever re-read (so nothing below 4 stars basically). We are renovating our extra bedroom into a little library room so can't wait to organize our books on new bookcases! Just unhauled a good bit myself. I've been doing better with buying as well. Stopped doing as many cover buys ;)

I'm also gonna try the Tithe series if it really is going to be reedited and republished! Congrats on getting your shelves to where you're happy with them! and same with book-buying habits. Different things work for different people and I don't feel like there's one "right way" to bookshop, but I know it can be kind of challenging to recognize that your habits have changed and to be okay with that, if that makes sense!

Also, if it factors in at all into your decision, I gave Ace of Shades 4.5 stars... You are making me want to go through my shelves and check if I really want to keep everything on there or not 😂

My opinions on the Renegades series by Marissa Meyer. I felt that the first half or so of Renegades totally dragged on and then the pace picked up at the end. I think it took me about a month to read all up and about 2 weeks to read the first 100 pages. I was hesitant to pick up Archenemies because Renegades was the first MM book that I didn't love (apart from Fairest & Stars Above). I received Archenemies for Christmas and because the paperback is smaller than Renegades, I decided to pick it up. And I LOVED it. I flew through it and it took me about 2 days to read because I was so engaged in it and now I can't wait for Supernova to come out. All good if you don't want to read/keep it, just thought I would share my thoughts about it :)
@MerrilyKristin5 жыл бұрын
