It’s been a couple of weeks since my last Down the TBR Hole post and I have taken two books off my want to read shelf since then. I’m definitely making progress!
Down the TBR Hole was originally created over at Lost in a Story. This meme is now being hosted by Jody from I’m Into Books. It looked like a fun and productive way to finally make a dent in that Goodreads TBR. I went through my want-to-read shelf a little while ago but I think I was still to kind on a lot of books. Let’s see what I’ll make of it this time around. I decided to go with 10 books at a time so lets get started!
It works like this:
- Go to your goodreads to-read shelf.
- Order on ascending date added.
- Take the first 5 (or 10 or 15 or 20, if you’re feeling adventurous) books
- Read the synopses of the books
- Decide: keep it or should it go?
- Keep track of where you left off so you can pick up there next week!
Current “to-read” shelf: 660 (my last post ended at 662. So that’s two less books than at the end of the last post.)

As you can see I actually kept quite a few this round, but that’s mostly because I have them physically on my shelves. I’m working on reading backlist books and I have to say I’m looking forward to giving these a try.

So that’s another Down the TBR Hole post and I kept more than I have the last few posts, but that’s okay! Have you read any of these? Which book should I give a try first? Let me know in the comments. I’d love to hear from you.
