Welcome to the 41st edition of my Down The TBR Hole Posts.
This weekend I have interesting selection to go through with you…
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:
➥ Bite Me (Bitten, #1) by C. C. Wood
I like vampire books, but I don’t own this one, and I have far too many to read that I actually own, so I will let this one go.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ Cursed (Cursed Magic Series #1) by Casey Odell
I like fantasy, but I don’t think I will like this one. It’s also very hard to decide whether I want to start a whole series of something…
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ Children of Virtue and Vengeance (Legacy of Orïsha, #2) by Tomi Adeyemi
If you have read my review of Children of Blood and Bone, you will know how much I cherish and love this series. And yes – I cannot wait to get my hands on this one! I mean, would you just look at that cover?
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ The Bronze Horseman (The Bronze Horseman, #1) by Paullina Simons
I love romances – but not sure about this one. I don’t think I am that much into historical romances, to be honest.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ These Witches Don’t Burn by Isabel Sterling
A story about witches, in the modern world? Please let me read this 🙂
I don’t own it, so I am not too sure, but I think I will still keep it on my TBR list for now.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1) by Patrick Rothfuss
I have no clue how or why this ended on my TBR. Has any of you maybe read it? I think I am letting it go…
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ The Die of Death by Kenneth B. Andersen
The second book from the Devil’s Apprentice, a book where a very good boy goes to hell by mistake and becomes the Devil’s assistant. I loved, loved, loved the first book, and will be reading this book next month actually. It’s already on my August TBR and waiting to be read.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ ANTimatter by David Winship
This book (and many others) were sent to me by the author, and i am planning on reading them all.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ could have been verse by David Winship
Same as above – I have a lot of books from David, and will be getting to them soon. I don’t like not reading a book from someone if they have sent me a copy, as you all might already know.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Chroma Crossing Chronicles: Blood Moon: Part 2 by S. Yurvati
I was a bit conflicted with the first book [SEE MY REVIEW] and gave it 3 stars, but I still want to keep reading it to know what happens in the end.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
I removed 4 books this time. Not great, but still a progress.
This is how my TBR list looks like now.
Which books would you keep or remove? Let me know in the comments.
The name of the wind is very well written! I read it like ten years ago so I don’t remember much now but it was sooo good!
How many books have you managed to remove from your TBR this far with this tag?
Hi Yrsha. Thank you – I will consider that. I don’t know the exact number, because I also keep adding books to my TBR, but I have done 40 other posts, and I think I have removed over 150 titles so far. 🙂
Good work! I keep doing the same 😄
