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.
This is the last “Down the TBR Hole” post of 2018! My TBR pile is down three to 687 books.
This week’s books:
Gods and Mortals by various authors – KEEP. This is a set of 14 ebooks I got as a freebie at some point. I figure at least one of the books has to be good, so I’ll keep it on my Kindle for now.
Confliction Compendium by M.R. Mathias- GO. This is the first 3 books in the “Dragoneers Saga” along with a few short stories. I looked up the synopsis for the 1st book in the series, The Royal Dragoneers, and I was not impressed.
The End of Innocence by Stephanie Baumgartner – KEEP. This is a story about a young woman who goes to Germany pre-WWII to help her aunt in a library. I’m very interested in reading it since it’s not often that I come across a book depicting events in Germany leading up to WWII. A story involving a library is a bonus.
Firemancer Collection by Rachel M. Humphrey-D’aigle – KEEP. This is a Middle-Grade Fantasy omnibus containing the first 3 books in the “Fated Saga” series. I’m adding it to my Summer reading list.
The Girls From Alcyone by Cary Caffrey – GO. I don’t know where I got this ebook, but I suspect it was a freebie that I got just because it’s Sci-Fi. The synopsis sounds like it’s bad Sci-Fi, so Goodbye.
My to-read shelf is down to 685 books!!! I didn’t think I could do it. There are still a couple of days before New Year’s, and my goal for 2019 is to whittle the mountain down to 625. I better get started!
