Down the TBR Hole #168

After having one less book off of my want to read shelf at the start of my last post, we’re starting where we ended last time! It’s still progress!

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: 423 (my last post ended at 423. So that’s the same as at the end of my last post.)

This week’s post was very successful. There are still quite a few on this list that I want to read, but just don’t have on my shelves right now. I’m trying to be more strict when keeping this want to read shelf going.

We’re slowly making some progress on my want to read shelf. Have you read any of these books? Should I try and pick up any of these soon? Let me know in the comments. I’d love to hear from you!
