Keep It or Ditch It? | You Pick #3


Keep It or Ditch It? is a meme I do on the blog once a month, where I show some books that have been in my ''TBR Mountain''  for a while, and you guys decide if I should

a) Keep It

or

b) Ditch It

Variant by Robison Wells



About: Benson Fisher thought that a scholarship to Maxfield Academy would be the ticket out of his dead-end life.

He was wrong.

Now he’s trapped in a school that’s surrounded by a razor-wire fence. A school where video cameras monitor his every move. Where there are no adults. Where the kids have split into groups in order to survive.

Where breaking the rules equals death.

But when Benson stumbles upon the school’s real secret, he realizes that playing by the rules could spell a fate worse than death and that escape—his only real hope for survival—may be impossible.



  This one I bought a paperback copy of when at a thrift store a few years back, and still have yet to actually read it, much less start it! 
 I picked it up because at the time the cover and back really caught my interest, but I don't really have an excuse for not starting it yet...



Should I KEEP or DITCH???



Thank you guys so much, hope you're all doing well! 

Thanks for reading!!

  1. I never tell anyone else what to do with their reading options! If the book still interests you, read it. If you've lost interest, ditch it!

    1. :) Thank you! I'm more of in-between wanting to read it and lost interest in it.

  2. If you've had it for ages and are no longer all that enthusiastic about reading it then I'd ditch it. If you think you'll want to read it at some point, just not right now, then keep it.

  3. I read a few reviews from friends on GRs and they say this one starts off slow, but picks up at the 50% mark. I see a lot of 2 and 3 star ratings, though. So I'd probably ditch this one if it was me.

  4. Hmm I have so many questions! I don't know if I've ever heard of this book, actually. It has a pretty good rating and several of my friends rated it highly. I think I might keep it if you're intrigued by the synopsis!

  5. I say keep it! Only because I love schools like that! Well, not to attend, you know, but to read about OTHERS attending lol. But hopefully it doesn't disappoint if you do keep it!

    1. I would not want to attend that school xD, but reading about those are usually very intriguing.

  6. I'm ashamed to say that I've also had this book on my shelves for years and haven't read it, haha.

    1. Oh wow! xD I think I'm going to ditch it because if I haven't picked it up yet I probably won't.

Books with Noel's BLOGVERSARY!!

Bonjour mes amis! [Hello my friends!] It's officially Books with Noel 's Blogversary!!! Quick Note: I'm sorry if any of these seems rushed, I injured my wrist at work and now have to wear a brace on my right side (I'm right-handed). When I first started blogging, it was a rash and implusive decision (and no, I ususally don't have those). I had already been trying to do BookTube for a while, and it was rough- I'll admit it. But more on that later! I started Books with Noel to try to communicate my passion and thoughts on books the only way I know best- through writing. (Don't ask why I'm still on YouTube then, sometimes I don't even know myself.) As soon as I did my first two blog posts on here, I was introduced to some very kind book bloggers and I found the best book community I've ever seen! Everyone is so nice, even when disagreeing about a book! I'm now able to support other bloggers and unknown authors through my blo...

The Month of February and Trying New Things | A Monthly Wrap-Up + A TBR

    Eek, is it bad that I'm relieved Valentine's Day and the ''Love Month'' is over? I just read contemporaries, watched chick flicks, and ate ice cream to celebrate the holiday...it was great! How about you guys? How was your Valentine's Day? How's The YouTube Channel Going?? As some of you know, I also am a small BookTuber who shares my videos only in the monthly wrap-ups. And yes, they are as random as my blog posts 😂.  Though I try to keep their content different, so one book review that will be on my blog may not be on my YouTube channel (unless I feel very strongly about the book or am reviewing it for someone). So here are the videos from February!! ChickFlicks & Contemporaries | MY FEBRUARY TBR TOP TEN ANIME COUPLES | FT. CAMMIE Eliza And Her Monsters | BOOK RANT TRY A CHAPTER ~ Round 1 Since the theme for this month is Trying New Things , I'm planning to start doing anime related videos on my YouTube. Spec...
