Today I decided that I’d to Down the TBR Hole! Instead of doing it on Saturdays, I’ll be doing it every other Friday! So from now on, every other Friday I’ll tackle my TBR by taking part in Down the TBR Hole, a weekly meme created by Lia from Lost in a Story.
When the Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore
I actually own an ARC of this book but haven’t read it yet. I don’t know why?? I’ve heard literally nothing but great things about it and it’s magical realism and I’m pretty sure one of the main characters is Trans.
Final Verdict: KEEP
Paperweight by Meg Haston
This book follows a girl with an eating disorder who wants to commit suicide after dealing with her brother’s death… and if I’m being honest I added this because of the cover *hides in shame*. I am no longer interested in reading this book, though.
Final Verdict: GO
Slated by Teri Terry
If I’m being completely honest, I forgot what this book was even about. I read the synopsis and although it does
sound intriguing, I can’t see myself reading it in the future
Final Verdict: GO
The Last Olympian by Rick Riordon
Literally the only reason I haven’t read this book yet is because I don’t own it and I can’t find this edition in stores anywhere. When I do find it, I’ll read it!
Final Verdict: KEEP
This Adventure Ends by Emma Mills
I keep forgetting that this book exists and I don’t know why?? I really loved Mills’ debut novel First & Then and was anticipating this one but kept forgetting that it came out! But I am still interested in reading it.
Final Verdict: KEEP
Tales From the Shadowhunter Academy by Cassandra Clare
There’s absolutely no question here. I’m reading this one day for sure. Especially after reading and loving The Bane Chronicles. I’ve heard even better things about this collection of short stories.
Final Verdict: KEEP
Untitled (The Wicked Powers #1) by Cassandra Clare
There isn’t even a cover for this yet *hides face in shame* but it’s a series with two main gay characters – but it’s not supposed to be released until 22 *cries*. I’ll be 22 when this is released! But anyway, I think I should take it off for now, at least until there’s more info.
Final Verdict: GO
Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare
I haven’t even read Lady Midnight yet. I’m removing this and then adding it back after I read Lady Midnight haha.
Final Verdict: GO
All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
I really want to read this book! Plus I’ve heard spectacular things about it. It’s historical fiction – which I love – and it’s an adult book which is outside of my normal YA bubble, but I’m completely fine with that when it’s Historical Fiction.
Final Verdict: KEEP
Wax by Gina Damico
This seems like the perfect book to read around Halloween. But also, it’s about wax figures I think… and maybe people becoming wax or wax becoming people…? Which will certainly give me nightmares for the rest of my life haha.
Final Verdict: KEEP
That’s it for this Down the TBR Hole! I got rid of 4/10 which is pretty good! I also spontaneously removed about 7 books from my TBR before I wrote this post so I’m doing good! Let me know if you’ve read any of these books!
The Book Prophet 
Ooo definitely keep This Adventure Ends! Good luck with your TBR list!

Have you read it?

Yep! I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and found myself really liking it. I’m not generally a huge fan of YA Contemporary books but I really clicked with the author’s humor and writing.

Have you read her other book?

First & Then? No, I haven’t. But it’s on my TBR list. She said it’s supposed to be a bit inspired by Pride & Prejudice but with snarky humor and high school teenagers which sounds entertaining lol.

I really enjoyed First & Then, which is why I wanted to read her other novel.

I read Slated a while back and really enjoyed it! The whole trilogy is actually pretty good but I totally get you taking it off your TBR bc it’s not a very well known series and there’s lots of other books to get to

This Adventure Ends has to do with some sort of stolen painting… that’s all I can remember. Good to hear you loved All the Light!
