2017,  Down the TBR Hole,  TBR

Down The TBR Hole | Week 1

15 August 2017 /

This is a blogging meme created by Lia at Lost in a Story. The aim is 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
  • Read the synopses of the books
  • Decide: keep it or should it go?
I have a terrible habit of adding novels to my Goodreads TBR all the time, most of which I don’t own, currently I have 1350 books on it, which is a little intimidating! I don’t actually own all these novels, hence the reason I want to go through them and clear some out that I know I don’t want to read anymore!

Lets get right on with it!!


The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight- Jennifer E Smith

I added this novel to my TBR when it was popular, and I just never got around to actually buying and reading it. However, it does look like quite a cute, easy read, maybe perfect for a holiday!


Verdict: Keep






Revolution- Jennifer Donnelly

This is an intriguing novel with a split narrative between present day New York, and Paris in the 1700-1800s. I love historical reads, and I do still want to read this at some time!

Verdict: Keep





A Million Suns- Beth Revis

This is the second book in the Across the Universe trilogy. I own, and have read the first novel and I’ve always meant to get the trilogy finished.

Verdict: Keep






Daughter of Smoke and Bone- Laini Taylor


This is another novel that I added to my TBR during the hype, and just never got around to actually reading. However, having gone back and read the blurb, I don’t think this is a novel I want to read anymore.


Verdict: Go









Royally Crushed- Niki Burnham



This is a bind up of the first 3 novels in this series, according to the Goodreads blurb its a romantic story about a girl and a Prince or something. I’m pretty sure I will never actually read this novel.


Verdict: Go










The Summer I Turned Pretty- Jenny Han


I’m not sure why I added this to my TBR, reading the blurb, I don’t think I’ll enjoy a YA novel about a girl choosing between 2 brothers, so this one is definitely going.


Verdict: Go









Night World No.1- L.J Smith


When I was younger I went through a Paranormal phase. It began with Twilight being released and I must have added this to my TBR at that time. It’s no longer a genre I’m interested in, so this is an easy decision to make.


Verdict: Go









Graceling- Kristin Cashore


This looks like an intriguing novel, it reminds me a little of the Healer series by Maria V Snyder. I think I would enjoy this novel so hopefully I can get to it soon!


Verdict: Keep











Prophecy of the Sisters- Michelle Zink


First of all I just want to mention the cover of this novel, I think its gorgeous, and really creepy!! According to the blurb on Goodreads it’s a YA novel about 2 twins and a prophecy. This is a novel that I would have been really interested in a few years ago, but it’s not really my thing anymore!


Verdict: Go









I really like this meme, and I desperately need to reduce my TBR shelf, so hopefully this helps!
Thanks for reading!
