Even though it’s only been a few days since I wrote the last Down the TBR Hole post, I do have one book less on my want to read shelf. I finished a book that was on there. It’s not much, but it’s 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: 625 (my last post ended at 626. So that’s one books less than at the end of the last post.)

I was able to take half of the books off of my want to read shelf this week! I’m even reading one I decided to keep, because it’ll be added to my read shelf soon. This week was another mix of books I already have on my shelves, ones I don’t remember, and a sequel to a series I haven’t started yet.
Removal Percentage: 50%
Current “to-read” shelf: 620
Only a few more posts left until the end of the year. Will my want to read shelf have less than 600 books before the end of the year? I’m excited to see how far I get.
