Hi Everyone! I have new set of books this weekend, and I can’t wait to decide whether I’m keeping or removing them.
Welcome to the 35th edition of my Down The TBR Hole Posts.
How Down the TBR Hole works:
❤ 1. Go to your Goodreads to-read shelf.
❤ 2. Order on ascending date added.
❤ 3. Take the first 5 (or 10 if you’re feeling adventurous) books.
❤ 4. Read the synopsis of the books.
❤ 5. Time to Decide: keep it or should it go
Here’s the next patch:
➥ The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera
This doesn’t seem like something I would enjoy right now. I am letting it go.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
I am not sure. I am like, yes, and then no. And when I doubt, there is only one choice – it has to go. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have doubted in the first place.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ The Awakening (The Vampire Diaries, #1) by L. J. Smith
I loved, loved, loved the TV Show when it aired a couple of years ago. And I remember then how bad I wanted to have and read the books. I still don’t have them, and I still haven’t read them, but I will. I definitely will do soon.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ A Clash of Kings (A Song of Ice and Fire, #2) by George R. R. Martin
The glorious ”A Song Of Ice and Fire”! I own the whole collection, and need to read it ASAP! Did you guys watched the last season of the TV Show of Game of Thrones? What a disappointing ending is all I’ll say. Let me know in the comments what you thought. No Spoilers, of course 😉
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Ash Princess (Ash Princess Trilogy #1) by Laura Sebastian
I will definitely read this one, and soon. I love everything about it, and the book cover I have also has a little gap in the middle, so you can actually see where the fire is carved. Amazing!
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Looking for Alaska by John Green
I love reading John Green. He always sets me in such a chill mood, thinking about my life. I own this one and it’s sitting on my shelves. Should I pick it up soon?
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ FantasticLand by Mike Bockoven
A violent book that is a mix of The Hunger Games and Battle Royale. I want it! So bad…
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ The Wicked King (The Folk of the Air, #2) by Holly Black
I loved The Cruel Prince so much, and I still don’t know how in the world I still don’t own The Wicked King. I need it!!!
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Alexander: Child of a Dream (Aléxandros, #1) by Valerio Massimo Manfredi
As a Macedonian, Alexander the Great is a proud part of my history, and I have always admired what he did while he was so young. I have read ”Spartan” by the same author and fell in love with the style of writing. When I found out this series existed, I knew I had to read it!
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Alienated: Grounded At Groom Lake by Jeff Norton
An interesting children’s book of alien high-school. I won this as a giveaway and will definitely be reading it soon!
Verdict: KEEP ☑
I only removed 2 books this time. When it comes to genres I love, I have a weakness. I currently have 370 books on my TBR list. This is how my TBR list looks now.
Which books would you keep or remove? Let me know in the comments.
