As I grow closer to ending uni, and my new beautiful New Adult hardbacks find a temporary-home on the floor, I find myself needing to rid myself of books I bought back in 2015. It’s time to let go of some classic YA paperbacks, as well as some double ups, as well as 1/5 starred disappointments.

Hehe I’m so glad you recognise some of these oldies! I wasn’t hooked by Taken either– I think it was too diluted within the Maze Runner hype for me to continue reading.
