Down the TBR Hole | Week 3 - A Cascade of Books

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?

One of my 2018 resolutions is to reduce my TBR pile, both physically, and the digital one I have created on Goodreads, and this meme will hopefully help!!

Bleak House- Charles Dickens

This is a difficult decision for me, on the one hand I don’t really like Dickens all that much, but I’ve heard that this is his best novel by far, so I am tempted.

Verdict: Keep

War and Peace- Leo Tolstoy

This one isn’t so hard as Bleak House, I want to read this at some point in my life, even if the novel is a bit intimidating to hold!!

Verdict: Keep

Going Underground- Susan Vaught

I must have added this novel to my TBR during my YA romance phase. This doesn’t look like a particularly interesting read, so its going.

Verdict: Go

Stork- Wendy Delsol

Another YA novel, this time a fantasy novel, this again doesn’t look like something I would enjoy anymore.

Verdict: Go

On the Jellicoe Road- Melina Marchetta

This is another YA novel, from extremely popular YA writer Melina Marchetta, but again it just doesn’t seem like my thing anymore.

Verdict: Go

Paranormalcy- Kiersten White

I went through a massive YA paranormal phase, and this novel was definitely added to my TBR pile during that phase. I have passed out of that phase, so this doesn’t really interest me anymore.

Verdict: Go
