At the moment I’m reading this, I just started reading a book on my Goodreads want to read shelf. So we’re starting this post with one book less on that shelf than at the end of our last post.

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: 505 (my last post ended at 506. So that’s one books less than at the end of the last post.)

Today’s post is another mix of books I don’t remember, a couple of books I still want/need to read, and a book I’ve already read another edition of. I still think it’s weird Goodreads doesn’t see a book read no matter what the edition.

Removal Percentage: 70%
Current “to-read” shelf: 498

It’s interesting to see what books are still on my want to read shelf! Sometimes it shows me books I don’t remember at all. We finally made it to under 500 books on my want to read shelf. What do you think of the choices I made? Should I pick up any of these really soon? Let me know in the comments. I’d love to hear from you!
