Since my last Royal Update, I actually read a physical book on my shelf that was on my want to read shelf on Goodreads, so we’re starting this post off in a good way!
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: 521 (my last post ended at 522. So that’s a book less than at the end of the last post.)

Another Down the TBR Hole post scheduled! It’s interesting to see that a lot of the books this week are books I have physical copies of on my shelves! Have you read any of these? If so, let me know what you think in the comments. I’d love to hear from you.
