Hello everyone! Long time no seen for this meme.

I am back with a Down the TBR post. As I’ve not done this for a long time, I will restart at the beginning.

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 – 1556
This time on my shelf – 2271

I should stop adding new books to the wishlist. Send help *sobbing*
