Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog.
Today is another day for a Down the TBR Hole. How was your day so far? I hope good!
The Down the TBR meme was created by Lia (Lost in a Story). Go check out her blog if you haven’t already! You’re probably wondering how this works but it’s actually pretty easy:
- Go to your Goodreads to-read shelf.
- Order on ascending date added.
- Take the first 5 or 10 books (or even more if you’re feeling motivated enough). And of course, if you’re doing this weekly you’ll start where you left off the week before.
- Read the synopses of the books.
- Decide: keep it or toss it!
And now without further ado, let’s do this!
Last time on my shelf – 1447
Currently on my shelf – 1447
#1 – The Diabolic – The Diabolic #1 – S.J.Kincaid – Link to Goodreads
I found it interesting at first but it doesn’t interest me anymore so it goes!
Decision – GO!
#2 – Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places – Colin Dickey – Link to Goodreads
Same as above.
Decision – GO!
#3 – Tales of the Peculiar – Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children #0.5 – Ransom Riggs – Link to Goodreads
I’ve read the other books in the series and I kind of want to read the Tales of the Peculiar so this one stays!
Decision – KEEP!
#4 – A Better World – Brilliance Saga #2 – Marcus Sakey – Link to Goodreads
I can’t remember having read the first book so I don’t know what this one is doing on the TBR shelf. It goes!
Decision – GO!
#5 – Brilliance – Brilliance Saga #1 – Marcus Sakey – Link to Goodreads
Well this explains why book 2 was on the list. Unfortunately book 1 has to go as well because I have no interest in reading this one!
Decision – GO!
#6 – Windwitch – The Witchlands #2 – Susan Dennard – Link to Goodreads
I’ve read book one a year ago or at least I tried listening to the audiobook. However, it didn’t work out for me so I will try book one again and until then Windwitch has to go.
Decision – GO!
#7 – Queen Song – Red Queen #0.1 – Victoria Aveyard – Link to Goodreads
I will read the main books first. For now this goes as well!
Decision – GO!
#8 – Steel Scars – Red Queen #0.2 – Victoria Aveyard – Link to Goodreads
Same story as above!
Decision – GO!
#9 – The School for Good and Evil – The School for Good and Evil #1 – Soman Chainani – Link to Goodreads
The concept seems interesting. It stays!
Decision – KEEP!
#10 – The Last Ever After – The School for Good and Evil #3 – Soman Chainani – Link to Goodreads
I haven’t even read book one yet so this one goes!
Decision – GO!
#11 – Crimson Dagger: Parts I & II – Falling Kingdoms #0.1 – Morgan Rhodes – Link to Goodreads
I want to read the main books in the series first before starting the novellas.
Decision – GO!
#12 – Falling Kingdoms – Falling Kingdoms #1 – Morgan Rhodes – Link to Goodreads
Sounds interesting so it stays!
Decision – KEEP!
#13 – Rebel Springs – Falling Kingdoms #2 – Morgan Rhodes – Link to Goodreads
I haven’t even read book one yet. So this one will have to go for now!

Who can say no to such an interesting synopsis?
Decision – KEEP!

I found it interesting when I added it on Goodreads but it doesn’t spark any interest in me anymore.
Decision – GO!

As a big Harry Potter Fan, this has to stay!
Decision – KEEP!
