It’s been over a month, but it’s time for my first Down the TBR Hole of 2025! Last year I made it to 600 books on my want to read shelf, so hopefully I can decrease this a lot more this year.
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: 598 (my last post ended at 599. So that’s two books less than at the end of the last post.)

This week’s Down the TBR Hole was pretty successful. A few of these I have physically on my TBR and others are continuations of series I’ve been reading. There are also a few books I honestly don’t remember adding to my want to read shelf.
Removal Percentage: 40%
Current “to-read” shelf: 594
I’m pleased with my first Down the TBR Hole of the year! We’re under 600 books on my want to read shelf. I wonder how long it’ll take me to get under 500. Have you read any of these? Let me know in the comments. I’d love to hear from you.
