We’re starting off with the same amount of books on my want to read shelf as at the end of my last post. I’m not mad about that though, because I am slowly working my way through my shelf.
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: 440 (my last post ended at 440. So that’s the same as at the end of the last post.)

This week’s ten books were actually pretty hard. There are a few I still do want to read, but just don’t have. Also, I have quite a few books by Mariana Zapata on here and I haven’t read a single book by her yet. She is on my 2026 to read list, so I’m hoping to change that soon.
Removal Percentage: 80%
Current “to-read” shelf: 432
Another Down the TBR Hole post has been completed! I have to say it was another good week. What do you think about my choices? Would you have kept any I removed? Or what book should I read first? Let me know in the comments. I’d love to hear from you.
