Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog! How are you all? I hope good.

I am back with a Down the TBR post, and I am so, so sorry to have kept you waiting all these months for the next “Down the TBR Hole”. I am scared of the number of books that’s now on my TBR. Please send help.

The Down the TBR meme was created by Lia (Lost in a Story).

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 – 1499
This time on my shelf – 1605

Help? How did this get out of control?

#1 –The Frozen Dead by Bernard Minier – Link to Goodreads

This sound so intriguing, so I have to keep it. Right?

Decision – KEEP

#2 – Age of Swords by Micheal J.Sullivan – Link to Goodreads

I’m not keeping this one as I haven’t even read the first one. So it has to go.

Decision – GO

#3 – The Charm of Revenge by Tom Secret – Link to Goodreads

I’ll have to get rid of this one as well. The cover looks great, but the storyline is not grabbing my attention.

Decision – GO

#4 – Eversong by A.C. Salter – Link to Goodreads

Sorry, same reason as above.

Decision – GO

#5 – Suburban Zombie High by Jeremy Flagg – Link to Goodreads

Again, same reason as above.

Decision – GO

#6 – Size Zero by A.C. Moyer – Link to Goodreads

I have no intention of picking this one up in the future. It sadly has to go as well.

Decision – GO

#7 – Movie Game by Michael Ebner – Link to Goodreads

It does sound intriguing even though there are a lot of mixed reviews on Goodreads. Should I give it a try? I will certainly keep it for now.

Decision – KEEP

#8 – The Girl Who Ignored Ghosts by K.C. Tansley – Link to Goodreads

I will have to get rid of it. I’m unfortunately not interested anymore.

Decision – GO

#9 – Never Go Back by Lee Child – Link to Goodreads

It’s not the first book in the series, so it has to go even if I want to keep it right now, lol.

Decision – GO

#10 – X by Sue Grafton – Link to Goodreads

Unfortunately same reason as above.

Decision – GO

#11 – The Bone Collection by Kathy Reichs – Link to Goodreads

I’m not a big fan of Novellas, so it goes.

Decision – GO

#12 – Red Sister by Mark Lawrence – Link to Goodreads

I heard great things about the book. I might give it a try in the future.

Decision – KEEP

#13 – Storms of Lazarus by Karen Kincy – Link to Goodreads

It’s again the second book of a series and I haven’t even read the first one yet. It goes.

Decision – GO

#14 – The Beautiful Dead by Belinda Bauer – Link to Goodreads

I just don’t know if I am interested in this one? I guess it just has to go for now.

Decision – GO

#15 – A Rare Gift by G.Rosemary Ludlow – Link to Goodreads

See above.

Decision – GO

#16 – Pharaoh’s Tomb by G.Rosemary Ludlow – Link to Goodreads

It’s the second book from the one above, so it will have to go as well.

Decision – GO

#17 – Day’s Dying Glory by Virginia Crow – Link to Goodreads

It will have to go too.

Decision – GO

#18 – Serafina and the Black Cloak by Robert Beatty – Link to Goodreads

I think that Middle Grade is not my thing anymore. At least for now. I will have to say goodbye to this one as well.

Decision – GO

#19 – The Diviners by Libba Bray – Link to Goodreads

I will read this one. I promise!

Decision – KEEP

#20 – Dreamfall by Amy Plum – Link to Goodreads

Sounds interesting, but I’m kind of not intrigued by the synopsis. For now, I’m saying bye.

Decision – GO

Total number of books kept – 4
Total number of books that had to go – 16
Total number on my to-read shelf – 1589

At least I did a great job at ripping my heart of by getting rid of some books. What about you?
