Thank you to Lost In A Story for coming up with this wonderful idea to finally whittle that TBR shelf down to something more manageable. See all of her posts here. She also made the beautiful graphic!
Down the TBR Hole is a simple and efficient way of getting rid of all of those unneeded books.
How does it work?
- Go to your goodreads to-read shelf.
- Order on ascending date added.
- Take the first 5 (or 10 if you’re feeling adventurous) books
- Read the synopses of the books
- Decide: keep it or should it go?
Simple as that. Next thing you know, you have a reasonable Want To Read shelf!
Now… to the books
The synopsis is really short, but it sounds cute
The Judgement: Keep
I’m not one for historical romance.. Outlander not included, but it sounds like this one could be interesting.
The Judgement: Keep
That book is the complete opposite of what I like. Why did I add that?
The Judgement: Ditch
Can’t say no to a hate-to-love relationship.
The Judgement: Keep
I’ve heard so many mixed things about this series. I don’t even want to try it
The Judgement: Ditch
Ugh. No thank you
The Judgement: Ditch
I cannot for the life of me get into Cassandra Clare’s writing. I added this before I read her first series and hated it
The Judgement: Ditch
Pretty sure the only reason why I added this is because all I could think of was that old Marianas Trench song ‘Cross My Heart”
The Judgement: Ditch
That synopsis made me very very happy
The Judgement: 100% KEEP
Definitely not my thing
The Judgement: Ditch
Is there any of these books that I should give another shot to? I’m only basing this off of the synopsis, so if there’s any that you recommend that I read, please let me know!
Until next time,
