Hi Lovelies!
The second edition of the Down the TBR Hole. On my previous attempt, I have managed to clear 3 out of 10, and I am eager to see how this one will go.
How it works:
-
Go to your Goodreads to-read shelf.
-
Order on ascending date added.
-
Take the first 5 (or 10 if you’re feeling adventurous) books.
-
Read the synopsis of the books.
-
Decide: keep it or should it go
Here’s the next patch:
➥ The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
The Lost Symbol and Origin are the only books I haven’t read from the Robert Langdon Series. I am eager to finish what I have started.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Digital Fortress by Dan Brown
As my previous comment, with already two books on my TBR from Dan Brown, I will remove Digital Fortress from my TBR for now.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
A classic I have always been trying to get my hands on, and a must-read book. Staying!
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Приказни од Мјаукедонија by Igor Dzambazov
This is a Macedonian book by one of the most popular show-men in our country. As I have no chance of getting this book in my hands right now, I will pass.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ Sophie’s World by Jostein Gaarder
I have wanted to read Sophie’s World since childhood, and I love philosophy. This one is staying, and I will actually push this to be one of my reads in early 2019.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacton
I actually don’t know what this book is doing here, or why I have put it. Needless to say more?
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
I am half-way through the second season of the TV Show, and I know that 90% of the times books are better than movies, so I will give this one a go.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot
I have put this on my wishlist 5 years ago. Now I realise why. Unfortunately (or luckily), this is not my taste anymore. I think I’ve grown up.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ All I want for Christmas by Amy Silver
I don’t remember adding this book to my list. It seems like a great read, and I love Christmas books. I thought I should keep it in case we run out of new Christmas books, but who are we kidding… As I don’t own this at the moment, I will let it go.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ The Nanny by Melissa Nathan
I love Nanny books, this subject has a great meaning to me. I am not sure if I will read this in a near future, or ever read it, but I will keep it in my TBR for now.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
This time it seems to be 5 staying and 5 going. I think I am getting better at this. My TBR already looks smaller (who are we kidding? :D). Let me know if you have read any of these, and if you want me to keep or remove any of these books from my list! I look forward to see what you think!

Ooo, I really like this idea. I might have to do this!
It’s amazing, isn’t it? 😀
I need to do this exercise!!
I was trying to remember who did this before and I’m so glad you shared this today so I could find it! Mind if I copy on my own blog? I’ll link to you.
Yes, go for it! It’s an amazing exercise, to clear books, isn’t it?
Sure is!
Ok I SERIOUSLY need to do this. Books sit on my TBR for years and I just never get around to them.
Go for it Mandi!
This is a great idea, I need to do this! Great post!
Thanks Amanda!
I’m really bad as I very rarely put any on my To Read shelf on Goodreads – I have them all written in my folder (this is for books that authors/publishers have asked me to read). Great idea though.
Thank you!
OMG I love this! I’m SOOOO bad about about doing this! I love the title too 🙂
Thank you Christina! Feel free to use it as well if you want 😀
Great post, I so wish I can do this on My Goodreads tbr but who am I kidding I have a lot of books on my Goodreads tbr list and I mean like a lot. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome post.
Thanks Kati. I have around 300 on my TBR
I LOVE this plan!
Thank you Robin!
I hope I don’t lose the next 2 hours to this – that is what usually happens 😉
Hehe that is also true! 😀
