Hello everyone! I’ve seen, or should I say watched, a lot of these videos on Booktube, and they inspired me to do a post of the lowest rated books that are on my Goodreads TBR shelf. I don’t know who is the creator of this idea, but if you know, please let me know so that I can link that person on here.

And now without further ado, let’s start with this post.

I’m seriously so scared for this one! Nevertheless, we have to get through it. One way or another! I will choose the books depending on my virtual TBR shelf on Goodreads. Which means that it might be possible that there is a book on there that I don’t own yet. However, this doesn’t mean that I won’t read it in the near future, I will and that’s a promise!

I won’t be able to tell you when I’m going to read these books, but I will challenge myself to read them in the next 2 months at least! So you’ll get an update at least every couple months. I will also do the same with the highest rated books on my TBR.

So for every post, I’m going to choose 5 books.

I’m already cheating because the first book is definitely not one I’m going to read, as I don’t remember why I added it. The second one I won’t be able to read because there are literally no reviews of the book, same goes for the next one because there is only 1 review.

📚 – #1 – Das Babylon Virus by Stephan M.Rother | German Literature, Thriller | added it prior to 2017 | Goodreads

Well, on to the next one. “Das Babylon Virus” is a book I should own. I am however unsure if it’s already on my unhaul pile or not. But for now I’m going to add it to the TBR. Hopefully I will have read it in 2 months.

📚 – #2 – Trop Curieuse by Christophe Gresland | French Literature, Humor, Contemporary | added in 2017 | Goodreads

I’m really sorry because for now I only have non-English books on the list, but I promise we’ll get there. This is one I definitely need and want to read, but the low ratings made me scared, lol.

📚 – #3 – Bin isch Freak oda was?! by Philipp Möller | German Literature, Humor, Contemporary | added prior to 2017 | Goodreads

Another German book and I already tried it a few years ago, but I just couldn’t keep up with it anymore. The humor wasn’t my kind of humor (don’t know if this makes any sense). Will I enjoy it now? I have absolutely no idea, but I will certainly try before unhauling it!

📚 – #4 – Kind of a Big Deal by Shannon Hale | Young Adult, Fantasy, Contemporary | added in 2022 | don’t own | Goodreads

Drumroll please! We finally have our first English book on the TBR! And I’m absolutely bloody scared for this one! Why are the ratings so low? I’ll probably get the Kindle version for this one, as I’m not sure that I want to pay the “full price” for a 2.83 rated novel.

I’ve heard a lot of mixed things about Patterson, so I’m not sure that I should read one of his books again, even though I loved his writing style in the past. For now, I’m just deleting the books that are on my want-to-read shelf and which I don’t own from GR.

📚 – #5 – The Book of Joan by Lidia Yuknavitch | Adult, Fantasy, Dystopia | added in 2017 | don’t own | Goodreads

And we’re already talking about the last book. I honestly can’t remember that I’ve put that one on my shelf, but according to GR, I did. So I’ll give it a try and let’s cross our fingers that I will like it!

Are there any books on this list (from the English ones) that you’ve read? If so, what were your thoughts? And do you think that I should only add English titles to these lists, or are you okay with other languages as well? Please let me know in the comments below.
