Down the TBR Hole was started by Lia over at Lost in a Story.
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.
It’s been quite a while since I’ve done one of these posts. My TBR pile was down to 655 books, but between December of last year and now, it has gone up to 666. If I remember correctly, my goal for last year was 650, which might have happened, but obviously isn’t the case now, despite having already read 33 books this year.
This week’s books:
Skeen’s Leap by Jo Clayton – KEEP. The synopsis had me at “gritty space adventure.” This book sounds like a perfect addition to my Sci-Fi Summer TBR.
The Shore of Women by Pamela Sargent- KEEP. I’m going to give this one the 50 page test only because it is considered a classic of Feminist Science Fiction.
Unexpected Stories by Octavia Butler – KEEP. This one will also get the 50 page test, but because it’s Octavia Butler.
Wylding Hall by Elizabeth Hand – KEEP. This one sounds like the kind of Horror that is right up my alley.
The Last Time I Saw Paris by Lynn Sheene – GO. This story sounds like nothing but a Romance that happens to take place in France during WWII. No, thanks.
My TBR pile is down one to 665 books, and my next post will be mostly Cozy Mysteries. If my TBR decreases at all over the next couple of weeks, it will be from finishing books.
