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

I am back with a Down the TBR post. So let’s see how I did these past few days.

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 – 1580
This time on my shelf – 1579

Even one less than the last time!

#1 –Siena by Zoe Blessing – Link to Goodreads

I’m not sure what to think of this book, and I’m most certainly not sure if I should keep it. For now, it will be deleted of the list.

Decision – GO

#2 – The Names they Gave Us by Emery Lord – Link to Goodreads

Same as above.

Decision – GO

#3 – When it’s real by Erin Watt – Link to Goodreads

It will also have to go.

Decision – GO

#4 – Ramona Blue by Julie Murphy – Link to Goodreads

I always wanted to read this one, and I heard so many great things. It stays!

Decision – KEEP

#5 – These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner – Link to Goodreads

I loved Amie Kaufman in Illuminae and I need to read this one. I believe that I also have the audio version of this book.

Decision – KEEP

#6 – Avalon by Mindee Arnett – Link to Goodreads

And it goes! I can’t even remember the reason why I added this book to the list.

Decision – GO

#7 – Saga, Vol.1 by Brian K.Vaughan – Link to Goodreads

I will read this one. Some time! But I will.

Decision – KEEP

#8 – Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card – Link to Goodreads

I’m not interested in this one anymore.

Decision – GO

#9 – Across the Universe by Beth Revis – Link to Goodreads

There is something about this book that just makes me want to pick it up.

Decision – KEEP

#10 – The 100 by Kass Morgan – Link to Goodreads

I couldn’t watch the TV Show, but maybe I am able to read the books. So I will give the first one a try.

Decision – KEEP

#11 – Salvage by Alexandra Duncan – Link to Goodreads

I don’t think that I will ever pick it up.

Decision – GO

#12 – The Empire Strikes Back by Adam Gidwitz – Link to Goodreads

I never managed to watch Star Wars because all the movies are so long! But I will give the books a ry.

Decision – KEEP

#13 – Return of the Jedi by Tom Angleberger – Link to Goodreads

I will read the other book first, and then I will see if I’m still interested. For now, it will have to go.

Decision – GO

#14 – Thrawn by Timothy Zahn – Link to Goodreads

Same as above.

Decision – GO

#15 – Lose Me by M.C. Frank – Link to Goodreads

This is a book I will definitely read at some point.

Decision – KEEP

#16 – Lost Kin by Steve Anderson – Link to Goodreads

Never read the first book so this one will go.

Decision – GO

#17 – The Dragon Hunter and the Mage by V.R. Cardoso – Link to Goodreads

I don’t think I’ll read it even though it does sound interesting.

Decision – GO

#18 – Der andere Ich by Jürgen Vogel – Link to Goodreads

Same as above.

Decision – GO

#19 – Erinnerungen an Philippe by Jürgen Vogel – Link to Goodreads

See above.

And again see above.

Decision – GO

Total number of books kept – 6
Total number of books that had to go – 14
Total number on my to-read shelf – 1566

I did a pretty good job at getting rid of some books. Again! How about you?
