Total books for the year: 86 of 90. I don’t know what happened, but I know I did not read much this week. At least I finished a book and only have 4 left to read to meet my goal for the year.

Down the TBR Hole was started by Lia over at Lost in a Story. All book covers are linked to Goodreads unless otherwise noted.
I will be repeating this process until I’ve filtered out my entire TBR.
My TBR pile is down one from last week, which means I only have one book to knock off of the mountain to reach my goal of 695 books before the end of the year.
Déjà Dead by Kathy Reichs – KEEP. I loved “Bones” and though I’m sure there are quite a few differences between the show and the book series, I have to try out the first book. 
Tuf Voyaging by George R.R. Martin- KEEP. Tuf is “…an honest space-trader who likes cats.” How could I pass that up?! 
Tales of the Peculiar by Ransom Riggs – KEEP. I picked up this absolutely beautiful hardcover book soon after it was published and there is no way I’m getting rid of it. It has become a part of my permanent library. 
Magic Bitter, Magic Sweet by Charlie N. Holmberg – KEEP. I auto-buy anything by Holmberg, usually as a pre-order since I’m subscribed to her newsletter. 
The Unbroken Line of the Moon by Johanne Hildebrandt – KEEP. This is the 4th book in the “Sagan om Valhalla” series, but the 1st book in the translated “Valhalla” series. The first 3 books in the original series haven’t been translated into English, which is a bit disappointing. Since I got the ebook for free, I’m going to go ahead and give it a try.
My to-read shelf is still at 696 books. I’m sticking to my goal of 695 for now. With only a month left before 2019, I highly doubt I’ll be able to get it as low as 690, but who knows? I’ve got the last 10 days of the year off from work, and I intend to spend most of that time with my nose in a book.

Total books for the year: 85 of 90. Yesterday was the last day of the #ThanksgivingReadathon, and I’m now only 5 books away from my annual reading goal. I’m still not sure how I’m going to finish 5 books in what is now just over a month, but the office where I work shuts down for the rest of the year right before Christmas so I figure I’ll have plenty of reading time then. Until then, I will be trying to make up all of the hours I missed from being sick.

Yesterday was the final day of the #ThanksgivingReadathon hosted by Jackie B @ Death by Tsundoku! It was also the last day of my holiday weekend, and as much as I love my job, that makes me a bit sad.
While I read quite a bit, the only book I finished was Hygge Habits by Helena Olsen. I nearly finished Dragons of Autumn Twilight with only 30 pages left when I decided to turn off the light last night. I was tempted to stay up, but Monday mornings are difficult enough when I haven’t stayed up past my bedtime to finish a book. I wound up only listening to a couple of hours of Not the Killing Type, but Dragons of Autumn Twilight was so good I didn’t want to put it down.

My TBR pile is holding steady at 698 books. I’m hoping it will decrease by Monday since I’m currently in the middle of the #ThanksgivingReadathon.
A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness – KEEP. Every time I see this book on my wish list, I decide I’m not ready for the heartbreak. I will eventually read it, but not right now.
Lending a Paw by Laurie Cass- KEEP. I <3 cozy mysteries involving books and cats. I especially enjoy listening to them on audiobook while I’m crocheting.
The Readaholics and the Falcon Fiasco by Laura DiSilverio – KEEP. This cozy mystery involves a book club. Yes, please!
Iron Hearted Violet by Kelly Barnhill – KEEP. I added this book to my TBR after reading a review from one of the many book blogs I follow. The story involves a princess, a dragon, and a forbidden book. The illustrations are amazing, and I hope to read it soon.
The Princess Bride and Philosophy ed. by Richard Green and Rachel Robison-Green – KEEP. The Princess Bride is one of my all-time favorite movies and books, so of course I need to add this book to my collection.
My to-read shelf is still at 698 books. I only have 2 more days until I’m back to work. I’m hoping to finish at least one more book before then, so hopefully my TBR will be at 697 by next weekend.
Tomorrow begins the #ThanksgivingReadathon hosted by Jackie B @ Death by Tsundoku!
The idea is to read as many books as you can between the 21st and 25th of November. There will also be a Bookstagram challenge and a giveaway so check out the readathon announcement page above to find out all of the details. While a TBR isn’t required, I created a short one anyway.

Total books for the year: 84 of 90. Today’s post is late due to me being sick (again!) For some reason, Goodreads counted my DNF books into the number of books I’ve read this year. I was able to fix the issue, and the number of books I’ve read this year is a bit lower than I thought. I’m still 5 books ahead of schedule according to Goodreads, but I’m not sure how I’m going to finish 6 books in less than 2 months.
