Down the TBR Hole was started by Lia over at Lost in a Story. All book covers are linked to Goodreads unless otherwise noted.
How it works:
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?
I will be repeating this process until I’ve filtered out my entire TBR.
My TBR pile is officially under 700 books! I owe it all to the #Readathon last weekend.
This week’s books:
Bad Magic and Bad Luck by Pseudonymous Bosch – KEEP. Both of these books sound like a lot of fun.
A Blade of Black Steel by Alex Marshall- KEEP. I absolutely loved A Crown for Cold Silver, so there’s no way I’m getting rid of this book.
The Unfortunate Decisions of Dahlia Moss by Max Wirestone – KEEP. “Veronica Mars” meets “World of Warcraft”?! Yep, I’ll give this cozy mystery series a chance.
Acne, Asthma, and Other Signs You Might Be Half Dragon by Rena Rochford – KEEP. I absolutely love the title, and I’ve read several great reviews.
The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub – KEEP. I love King’s older books, but I’ve never read any of the one’s he co-authored. I’ve had this particle story on my physical TBR for more years than I remember, but unfortunately it will probably still be on the shelf until next year. I only read Horror during September and October, I’ve already read a King novel this year (‘Salem’s Lot) and I’m currently in the middle of Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt (highly recommended by King, BTW) with less than a week left until Halloween.
My to-read shelf is down to 698 books. It probably won’t decrease at all this week unless I miraculously finish the 4 books I’m reading right now, but at least it’s under 700.
The Unfortunate Decisions of Dahlia Moss sounds fun. Hmm. Down the TBR Hole isn’t supposed to increase my TBR, is it?
As long as my TBR doesn’t increase, I have no problem with enabling the book buying habits of others 😉
