Down the TBR Hole #10

“Down the TBR Hole” is a meme created by Lia (@ Lost in a Story).

Most of you probably know this feeling: Your Goodreads TBR pile keeps growing and growing, and it seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. You keep adding, but you add more than you actually read. And then when you’re scrolling through your list, you realize that you have no idea what half the books are about or why you added them. Well that’s going to change!

It works like this:

• Go to your Goodreads “Want to Read” shelf.
• Order by ascending date added.
• Take the first five (or ten, if you’re feeling adventurous) books. Of course, if you do this weekly, you start where you left off the last time.
• Read the synopses of the books.
• Decide: Should it stay or should it go?

I’m doing a huge purge this week in terms of my TBR. It’s getting a wee bit out of control! If you want to learn more about a book, just click the picture 🙂

Book	Author	Keep or Remove?
	Eoin Colfer	Remove: I just can’t see myself ever reading this. It sounds like a neat book though!
	Alice Oseman	Remove: It just doesn’t sound like something I would enjoy anymore.
	Margaret Peterson Haddix	Remove: I love this cover but I don’t think I’ll ever read this, sadly. 😦
	Kelley Armstrong	Remove: Honestly, not sure what I added this one. I don’t even like books with werewolves!
	Cat Patrick	Remove: This is another one where I’m not sure why I added it. It might be good for someone else but not for me.
	Zoraida Cordova	Remove: I don’t think I’ll ever get around to reading this either. I think I’ve had ample opportunity to buy it but never did.
	Lori M. Lee	Keep: OMG, my first keep today! This sounds really good! I’m hoping I enjoy it. I really like the cover too!
	Rebecca Ross	Keep: I just really, really love this cover. It sounds interesting too. I’m not sure if I’ll like but it’s staying.
	Bonnie Wynne	Keep: Okay, this just sounds really freaking good.

	Kerstin Gier	Remove: This cover is so precious but I don’t see myself ever reading this and enjoying it 😦
	Emma Mills	Remove: Another gorgeous cover but another book I don’t think I’ll enjoy. I might have when I was younger.
