I will be repeating this process until I’ve filtered out my entire TBR.
My TBR pile is still at 679 books from last week. I was hoping to have finished at least one book by today, but that didn’t happen. I am less than 20 pages from finishing Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport, though, so next week should see at least a tiny decrease in the height of the pile.
Blood Faerie by India Drummond – GO. As much as I love a story set in Scotland, I’m not into Faeries all that much. I think the only reasons I got this ebook were because of the setting and it was free. 
The Girl Who Would Be King by Kelly Thompson – GO. The title doesn’t make sense after reading the synopsis. Also, the two main characters both have alliterative names, and there doesn’t seem to be any reason as to why. This was another freebie I picked up at some point, so I’ll pass. 
Marking Time by April White – GO. I’m usually really into stories that involve time travel, but this one doesn’t sound appealing. It sounds like a weird Sci-Fi mixed in with Historical Romance and a weird Fantasy/Mythology element that I have a feeling won’t make a lot of sense. No thanks. 
Creatus by Carmen DeSousa – GO. The synopsis refers to this book as “Romantic Suspense.” Nope. 
Morna’s Legacy by Bethany Claire – GO. The synopsis screams “Outlander” knock-off. Nope. Nope. Nope.
My TBR mountain is down to 674 books! I knew at least a couple of this week’s books would find themselves thrown off the TBR, but I didn’t expect all five of them to go. My goal to get down to 625 books is looking a little more doable.

My TBR pile is sitting still at 681 books. I’m reading a lot more thanks to starting a digital decluttering “challenge,” but the books I’m reading are longer or denser in information, so I haven’t finished any of them yet.
Lichgates by S.M. Boyce – GO. Why is it that the main female character *always* has to rely on a male with a dark past or secret to navigate the strange and dangerous new world in which she finds herself? Ugh. 
Sword Bearer by Teddy Jacobs – KEEP. The title is a bit generic and unpromising and I’m skeptical about the story, but the synopsis is so well written that I’m intrigued enough to give this book the 50 page test. 
Wild-Born by Adrian Howell – KEEP. I have faith that this will be a fun book. The story involves a boy with telekinetic powers, a girl who relies on telepathy to speak, and a paranormal world full of danger. It’s not often that Sci-Fi and Fantasy are combined, and even more rare for that combination to do well enough to make it the finals of any competition. 
Frey by Melissa Wright – GO. “Unaware she’s been bound from using magic…” Is it just me or does that sentence not make sense? Another weird word choice in the synopsis is “Hunted by council…” Not “the council” or “a council”, but just “council”? With a synopsis that poorly written, I’ll pass on this book. 
Dead of Winter by James Goss – KEEP. It’s a “Doctor Who” book, so of course I’m going to keep it.
My TBR mountain is down two books to 679 books. All of next week’s 5 books are potentially doomed to be thrown off the side of the mountain since they were all freebies back when I was still a bit impulsive about downloading free ebooks. See you next week!

I will be repeating this process until I’ve filtered out my entire TBR. Despite the 24-Hour #Readathon, my TBR pile is only down one book at 682 books. I finished so many books last weekend, but some of them weren’t on my TBR, and while spending time on Twitter checking out the readathon hashtag and cheering on other readers, I discovered more books to add!
The Other of One by Brian Burke – KEEP. The synopsis is interesting enough for me to give this book the 50 page test. 
Sword and Laser Anthology ed. by Veronica Belmont and Tom Merritt – KEEP. I love the Sword and Laser book club, so I snatched this anthology up as soon as it was available. 
Division of the Marked by March McCarron – GO. I was considering keeping this book until it mentioned Romance. No, thank you. 
In a Glass Darkly by Sheridan Le Fanu – KEEP. I’m hoping to finally get to this during the next 24-Hour Readathon in October, especially since the story “Carmilla” is included. 
The Girl in Between by Laekan Zea Kemp – KEEP. I don’t know why, but I love the cover of this book. I’m skeptical of whether or not it will be worth reading, though. Like the first book on this week’s list, I’ll give it the 50 page test.
My TBR mountain is down one book to 681 books. Taking a glance at the next 5 books on my list, there is only one that I know I will be keeping without a doubt, so hopefully I will be shedding a few more books next week.
