I haven’t done one of these posts since late last month so I felt like it was about time for me to brave my TBR pile again. And I kinda don’t have any motivation to write a ‘proper’ post so here we are.

If you’re newer here and don’t know what the heck Down the TBR Hole is, it’s a meme created by Lia @ Lost in a Story.

Most of you probably know this feeling, your Goodreads TBR pile keeps growing and growing and it seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. You keep adding, but you add more than you actually read. And then when you’re scrolling through your list, you realize that you have no idea what half the books are about and why you added them. Well that’s going to change!

It works like this:

• Go to your Goodreads to-read shelf.
• Order on ascending date added.
• Take the first 5 (or 10 if you’re feeling adventurous) books. Of course if you do this weekly, you start where you left off the last time.
• Read the synopses of the books
• Decide: keep it or should it go?

Trial By Fire by Josephine Angelini

Okay but this sounds kinda interesting, but also I am not interested in it like at all anymore so…

Final Verdict: GO

The Scent of Legacy by Drina Steinberg

This book used to peak my interests, but to be completely honest I feel like I won’t enjoy it much.

Final Verdict: GO

The Secret of a Heart Note by Stacey Lee

This sounds so interesting!!! The main character can use her sense of smell to make love potions for others and just?? Yes, please!

Final Verdict: KEEP

Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys

I WILL READ THIS ONE DAY – I SWEAR!

Final Verdict: KEEP

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Tales of Terror by Robert Louis Stevenson

HAHA – I really don’t think this will ever happen. I’m kind of over trying to read all of the classics. I used to think that’d make me into a ‘real’ reader, but I’m over that now.

Final Verdict: GO

Asleep by Krystal Wade

I originally added this to my TBR because a friend of mine recommended it. It does sound good, but if I’m being honest I can’t really see myself reading it anytime soon.

Final Verdict: GO

Renegades by Marissa Meyer

I was really excited for this – mainly because the entire book community was excited for it – but then below average reviews started coming out and it just… doesn’t peak my interest anymore?

Final Verdict: GO

Wires and Nerve, Volume 1 by Marissa Meyer

This, however, is a completely different story. I haven’t read this yet because I was waiting for Winter to come out in paperback so that I can read it so I won’t get spoiled for events that happened in Winter when I read this.

Final Verdict: KEEP

Moon Chosen by P.C. Cast

This does still sound really interesting to me, it gives me a paranormal vibe and I paranormal doesn’t really peak my interest.

Final Verdict: GO

Flame in the Mist by Renee Ahdieh

I have heard mixed things about this. Most reviews I’ve read from bloggers I trust are between 2 and 3 stars so I am a bit wary, but also this book sounds really good so I’ll probably borrow it from the library (i really want to start utilizing the amazing library system my area has)

Final Verdict: KEEP

Previous TBR #: 486

Books Removed: 6

Books Kept: 4

TBR Total: 478 Previous TBR #: (i didn’t miscalculate btw – i removed some random books i saw on my tbr when i was looking through it as i was composing this post)

Have you read any of these books? Do you agree with the choices I made?
