This is the first Down the TBR Hole post that is starting with less than 500 books on my want to read shelf. I’m curious to see how far we can get before the end of 2025!
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: 498 (my last post ended at 498. So that’s the same as at the end of the last post.)

This week was a pretty good one for our Down the TBR Hole list. It was a mix of books of books I still want to read and some I haven’t thought about in a while.

That’s another Down the TBR Hole post! What do you think of the choices I made? What book should I read first? Let me know in the comments. I’d love to hear from you!
