Hi Lovelies!
The third edition of the Down the TBR Hole is here! I am always excited when I am doing this, I can’t wait to see how it goes!
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:
➥ Pretty Little Liars (Pretty Little Liars, #1) by Sara Shepard
I have made this list a long time ago, and this is one of the books I should have read when I was 14. Right now, I can’t find the time to do this.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri
A classic, and I have only read Inferno by Dante. I remember adding this book because I wanted to read the other two parts too. This one stays!
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Clay by David Almond
I have left this book back in my home country. If I ever go back and get it, I will read it. But for now, it can go.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ Bad Behaviour by Sheila O’Flanagan
Again, the same story. It is sad that I have left so many books behind. I even checked if the library had this one here, but unfortunately, they didn’t. Right now, it goes.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ French Kissing by Catherine Sanderson
And again – ahhh. I am becoming sad now. I am removing this lovely book too, but I have noted these to bring back with me when I can.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ I Am David by Anne Holm
I won this book on a giveaway, but don’t have it with me anymore. I never got the chance to read it, as I always kept finding other things that seemed more interesting at the time. I am letting this one go.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ The Hunchback of Notre-Dame by Victor Hugo
A classic that I have wanted to read since I was a little kid. I have to find time for this in the early 2019. People keep telling me how good it is.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
A long and big one this time. A famous classic, and all my Literature Teachers were talking about during high school. I never had the chance to read it, but this one stays, as I truly believe a person needs to read this one before they die.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Holly’s Inbox (Holly’s Inbox #1) by Holly Denham
I actually don’t know why this book is here. I am not too excited after reading the synopsis and I am letting this one go.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ The Christmas Train by David Baldacci
I don’t remember adding this one as well, and after reading some reviews, I think I am going to pass. I have a lot of Christmas reads happening this year, so I don’t think I would have the time anyways…
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
Good choices. I wouldn’t have have kept War and Peace. I read it at school decades ago but wouldn’t read it again. It’s one of those far too long books that live on TBR lists but no one ever makes the time to read unless forced to do so. 😉
Hi! I am keeping War and Peace 😀 I want to read it soon 🙂
Oh man, November is going to be my attack TBR MONTH. I hope I’m successful. Thanks for the advice.
I am glad you like it!
I am going to start trimming mine this evening. I don’t think that I need 442 books on my TBR! Thank you for being my incentive.
Thank you!
But I have such a hard time letting any of them go… you are ruthless!
Hahahaha 🙂 I have around 400 more to get to 😛
I did this recently and it felt great to get rid of books that im no longer interested in reading
OH! I need to do this myself 🙂 i know i have books that i added in ancient times 🙂
Thanks for the idea! I do need to clean up my TBR!
Great post I really like this fun Down The TBR Hole that you do, thank you so much for sharing your awesome post.
Thanks Kati – another one is coming soon as well 😀
I read The Christmas Train and I absolutely loved it! I also liked the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie that this book was adapted into. If you’re thinking about what to add to your 2019 Christmas TBR list, you should definitely reconsider reading The Chriatmas Train.
*Christmas
Thank you! I will definitely consider it!
