Welcome to the 37th edition of my Down The TBR Hole Posts.
This weekend I have the hardest decision to make ever…
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:
➥ Wildcard (Warcross, #2) by Marie Lu
I read Warcross and I loved it. Fun note, my boyfriend also read it, and he hated it. I can see a lot of mixed feelings around this one. But I did love it, and I will continue reading it.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Eragon (The Inheritance Cycle, #1) by Christopher Paolini
An evergreen, a tale I am surprised I haven’t read yet. I have to do this soon, don’t I?
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ The Princess and the Fangirl(Once Upon a Con, #2) by Ashley Poston
Have you guys read Geekerella? I loved it. And this is the second part. I am definitely keeping it, and if you enjoy princess diaries type of books, with a bit of geekiness into it, go for it!
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ The Defense (Eddie Flynn #1) by Steve Cavanagh
I am not sure about this one. On one side, I want to read it, because I love books about murders, and I love books about trials, where people find clues, and share a story, and then twist a plot. But I don’t own it, and I can’t see myself buying it… Not sure on this one. What do you think – should I keep it?
Verdict: MAYBE ☑ ✖
➥ Fire and Blood: A History of the Targaryen Kings from Aegon the Conqueror to Aegon III (A Targaryen History, #1) by George R. R. Martin
With the hype of Game of Thrones, we all want to read more. And George, we all want to read the last Game of Thrones book – so please finish it? Pretty please? I am keeping this one, of course. I am lucky enough to also own it in a hardback version as well!
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Red Queen (Red Queen, #1) by Victoria Aveyard
I don’t know what the hype is about, but there’s one way to find out… I have to read it…
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Binti (Binti, #1) by Nnedi Okorafor
Yes, a hundred times yes. Everything about this book intrigues me.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Whose Body? (Lord Peter Wimsey, #1) by Dorothy L. Sayers
I think I will pass on this one – not sure why, I just lost interest, I believe…
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ Shadow and Bone (The Shadow and Bone Trilogy, #1) by Leigh Bardugo
Again, a book that has been getting a lot of hype. One way to find out, again…
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Scythe (Arc of a Scythe, #1) by Neal Shusterman
I own Scythe, and I am so excited to read it, I just haven’t had the time. I need to add ”TBR Hole books” prompt to my monthly TBR, don’t you think?
Verdict: KEEP ☑
Which books would you keep or remove? Let me know in the comments.
