Today is our next try to get under 300 books on my want to read shelf. Even if I remove everything this week, we’ll still need one more post to get under 300. Let’s see how we do today!
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: 313 (my last post ended at 313. So that’s the same amount as at the end of my last post.)

What do you think? Will we get under 300 books next time? Or should I prioritize any on this week’s list? Let me know in the comments. I’d love to hear from you!
