We’re starting this Down the TBR Hole post with the same amount of books on my want to read shelf as last time. As long as I add nothing this year, I’m happy! Haha.
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: 456 (my last post ended at 456. So that’s the same as at the end of the last post.)

So this week, I only kept the books I own physically. Quite a few of these still do interest me, I just don’t know if/when I’ll end up getting around to reading them. There really aren’t enough hours in the day to read everything I want to.

This was my second Down the TBR Hole post of 2026. While I didn’t make as much progress as my last post, I’m still happy with how I ended this one. Have you read any of these? Should I read any of the ones I took off of my want to read shelf? Let me know in the comments. I’d love to hear from you!
