Welcome to the 42nd 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:
➥ The Quaker (Duncan McCormack #1) by Liam McIlvanney
I have this as an e-ARC copy. I love the mystery around it, and I think I will enjoy reading it and finding out the entire truth.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ In a Time of Monsters: Travels Through a Middle East in Revolt by Emma Sky
I am excited about this read, as it’s out of my comfort zone, and I am wondering whether I will be bored or intrigued.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Eternal Love by Karimah Colden
The sequel of Karimah Colden’s series. I enjoyed the first book – Eternal Soul, even though I had a few issues here and there. I will read the second book as well, only to find out if it ends better…
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Days of Wonder by Keith Stuart
A beautiful synopsis, of a story I know I will adore and cry. A father-daughter relationship that I can’t help but compare to the relationship I have with my father – which is so unimaginable and precious to me. I can’t wait to read this book.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Singapore Boxer (Ash Carter #3) by Murray Bailey
Even though a third book of a series, it can be read as a standalone. A mystery (which I love) that involves a bit of martial arts (which I also love). I think this is a win-win situation.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Improvement by Joan Silber
I still don’t know what this book is about, but I was said to not read any synopsis and just dive straight into it. I would not usually pick this type of book in the shop, but I do own it and all books I own deserve a chance.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Senlin Ascends (The Books of Babel, #1) by Josiah Bancroft
This book is here today because of the one and only Melanie from MelToTheAny. I have been wanting to read this for a while now, and I still haven’t bought it. I should do that soon.
Verdict: KEEP ☑
➥ Taliesin (The Pendragon Cycle #1) by Stephen R. Lawhead
Even though it does seem interesting, I think I will pass on this one for now.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ Sorry by Zoran Drvenkar
It seems like a mystery I might enjoy, but I already own so many mysteries and can’t justify buying more until I get my mystery TBR pile low.
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
➥ Don’t Turn Out the Lights by Bernard Minier
I think the same applies here…
Verdict: REMOVE ✖
I removed 3 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.
