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 – 1562
This time on my shelf – 1562

YES! I didn’t cave.

#1 –The Hanging Valley by Peter Robinson – Link to Goodreads

I already own a copy of this one, so it definitely gets a chance. One day at least!

Same as above.

I already read some books by this author and I definitely liked the style. This one stays as well.

#5 – Outbreak by Robin Cook – Link to Goodreads

With the current sanitary crisis I think that I will have to delete this book from my Goodreads list. Maybe one day I’ll read it.

Decision – GO

#6 – Coma by Robin Cook – Link to Goodreads

This one sounds interesting and is currently not triggering at all. So it has the right to stay.

Decision – KEEP

I don’t want to read this in the near future.

Decision – GO
