Hello everyone! Today we are doing another book tag in honor of it being Thursday.
My head is completely empty at the moment. I tried to take a nap before I have to go to work, but my son kept waking me up every ten minutes.
Anyway, this tag was created by Kourtni Reads but it seems there’s no blog of hers anymore. So let’s see what the questions are all about!

Today we are taking a look at the hyped books I didn’t like. Uff, yeah. That’s how it usually is with me and hyped books. And for some reason I am always ashamed to talk about that. Like I did something wrong when I didn’t like a hyped book.

A dark, gripping and witty thriller in which the only thing humanity has control over is death.
In a world where disease, war and crime have been eliminated, the only way to die is to be randomly killed (“gleaned”) by professional scythes. Citra and Rowan are teenagers who have been selected to be scythes’ apprentices, and despite wanting nothing to do with the vocation, they must learn the art of killing and understand the necessity of what they do.
Only one of them will be chosen as a scythe’s apprentice and as Citra and Rowan come up against a terrifyingly corrupt Scythedom, it becomes clear that the winning apprentice’s first task will be to glean the loser.

The Castilian town smelled of gunpowder, of partridge and rabbit blood, of smoke curling up from the chimneys.

Today we are taking a look at the hyped books I’m not going to read. Wow, this will be brutal. Mostly because I’ve had several hyped books listed on my Popsugar challenges throughout the years and I know I’m not going to read those but yet I still put them in there thinking “maybe I’ll actually read it now then”. So, I guess I will be calling myself out today.

I am a Belle. I control Beauty.
In the opulent world of Orléans, the people are born grey and damned, and only a Belle’s powers can make them beautiful.
Camellia Beauregard wants to be the favourite Belle – the one chosen by the queen to tend to the royal family.
But once Camellia and her Belle sisters arrive at court, it becomes clear that being the favourite is not everything she always dreamed it would be. Behind the gilded palace walls live dark secrets, and Camellia soon learns that her powers may be far greater – and far darker – than she ever imagined.
When the queen asks Camellia to break the rules she lives by to save the ailing princess, she faces an impossible decision: protect herself and the way of the Belles, or risk her own life, and change the world forever.
