Hey guys! It is once again Tag Week on Summer Snowflakes, and to begin, I was tagged by the lovely Shar from Virtually Read for the Reread, Rewrite Burn Tag. Thanks so much for tagging me, Shar!

Ze Rules:

Choose any 15 books.

Divide them into groups of 3.

For each group, choose one to reread, one to rewrite, and one to burn.

(basically Kiss, Kill, Marry only better because they’re books.)

I picked most of these books from my personal library, but because most of my physical copies are parts of various series and I didn’t want to reuse authors, I scanned my Goodreads list and picked a few I thought would make this tag even more interesting. I jotted the names down, tore up the pieces of paper, and placed them in the Pink Baggie of Destination (much like Shar’s Plastic Box of Doom, only pinker and deceivingly seemingly benign).

Group 1:

So we start off with an easy choice. At least for me.

Winter: Reread. Because gorgeousness.

Found: Rewrite. Because this is a fantastic concept and I think it has SO MUCH potential; but the idea could’ve been executed better.

Fate of Ten: Burn. Mostly out of spite because I can’t believe he did that.

Group 2:

CRAP THIS IS HARD BECAUSE I LOVE ALL OF THESE.

*sighs* After careful consideration and inner wailing, I have chosen:

Bluefish: Reread. Again, because gorgeousness.

Mark of Athena: Rewrite. Gorgeousness, yes, but I need to change that ending.

Hunt for Jade Dragon: *sniffles* IT BURNS. At least I have book five to look forward to.

Group 3:

MY LOVE IS IN THIS ONE <3

Throne of Glass: Reread. It’s not that I particularly loved this book, but... I don’t know. I kinda want to give it another chance because I feel like I could like it. Really, it’s right up my alley, and I want to see if I can get into the series. So yes, reread Throne of Glass.

Revenge of the Sith Novelization: Rewrite. Keeping almost every gorgeous word, and simply changing the way it all ends.

Angelfall: Burn. It’s not that I particularly hated this book--in fact, it was pretty good. But out of this particular group, I’m afraid it’s the one that has to go. My apologies.

Group 4:

Okay, so I completely adore The Golden Specific, but... but... I HAVE IDEAS FOR TWILIGHT, OKAY?! I THINK IT COULD BE SO MUCH BETTER AND DANG IT I DON’T WANT TO BURN THE POTENTIAL, AND TGS IS ALREADY PERFECT AND I’VE ALREADY READ IT.

*hand trembles over bonfire.*

Aw heck, I can’t burn TGS either.

The Golden Specific: Reread. Because everything about this is gorgeous: concept, writing, charries... just YES. <3

Outcasts: Rewrite. Solely to make myself a glorious Mary-Sue. No, I do not care that that is highly frowned upon.

Twilight: Burn. *sighs* I’m so sorry.

Group 5:

Oh crap... NO. no no no no no This is... NO. I... I can’t... 

Okay, so obviously, I amthe one who put all this together, but I did not expect this to happen when I did! I mean, Mindblind is one of my favorite contemporaries ever, HTTYD is hysterical, and Little Women... is Little Women. How... how am I supposed to... *dissolves in distress* *eventually returns, somewhat composed*

Fine. After thorough consideration and extensive pain, I have labeled them.

Mindblind: Reread. You know the drill... because GORGEOUSNESS.

Little Women: Rewrite. With the original book open right beside me, so I can copy it almost word for word except for who certain people end up with.

How To Train Your Dragon: Burn. I’m so sorry. *collapses and dies*

***

Despite my distress and eventual death, that was a fantastic tag. Thanks so much for tagging me, Shar! I had a blast. :D

For my part, I tag Tori and Bailey. Don’t feel obligated, but I would love to see your answers. :) If anyone else would like to do it, consider yourself tagged and leave me the link in the comments so I can visit! 

So have you guys read any of these? Would you change my verdicts on any of them? Leave me a comment and let me know! Can’t wait to hear your bookish opinions. :)
