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 went down one to 687 books. I finished reading Smash! by Ian Winwood and started Cinderella’s Big Score by Maria Raha. I also started reading Day After Night by Anita Diamant.
This week’s books:
Halfway Dead by Terry Maggert – KEEP. “Come for the waffles. Stay for the magic.” That’s the first sentence of the synopsis on Goodreads. Yes, please! 
The Space Between by Diana Gabaldon – KEEP. This one is a no-brainer, considering my love for all things “Outlander.” 
Shadow of the Sun by Laura Kreitzer – GO. This book sounded like it might be vaguely interesting until the last couple of sentences in the synopsis. At that point it sounded like the author had tried to put too many elements into the story and the plot would wind up being ridiculous. No, thanks. 
Sora’s Quest by T.L. Shreffler – GO. I have the feeling that even though the synopsis doesn’t mention any romance, this is going to basically be a Paranormal Romance. Not interested. 
Everflame by Dylan Lee Peters – GO. “…an epic battle of good versus evil.” What is it with these free ebooks and their generic story lines?!
My TBR mountain is down to 685 books. It would be lower if I hadn’t added a couple of books to my wish list, but it could have been higher had I not finished a book and started two others. The one good thing, for my wallet anyway, is that I haven’t bought any more books this week. Instead, I checked out Day After Night from my local public library.
