Down the TBR Hole is a feature created by Lost in a Story (although the blog seems to be down recently). I've seen it on a few other blogs and thought I would try it out myself! It seems like a really good way to cull your TBR of those books you're no longer interested in. So, how does it work?
- Go to your Goodreads to-read shelf.
- Order on ascending date added.
- Take the first 5 (or 10 (or even more!) 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?
Here are the books I'm looking at this time:
Thirty years ago, a woman went missing in a wealthy community. Today, another woman starts to dig into what happened. I'm just kinda meh on this one, so I'll pass!
I like the based on a true story aspect of this book about a home that provides sanctuary for "troubled" women, but it's just not really grabbing me. Pass!
A woman vows to take revenge on the person she thinks ruined her life. Keeping this one because I kind of want to know how this all plays out!
Eliza Hamilton: The Extraordinary Life and Times of the Wife of Alexander Hamilton by Tilar J. Mazzeo
I'm always on the lookout for more nonfiction books, and Eliza Hamilton was a truly amazing woman! Keep!
So this was a Reese's book club pick and although I haven't enjoyed all her selections, this one about corporate politics and sexual harassment intrigues me! Keep!
This story about a small town trying to recover from a deadly tornado sounds really interesting! Keep!
I think I will pass on this book about a woman searching for her missing father.
Have you read any of these?
Pretty Revenge and The whisper network have been on my TBR for way too long I think (woops). Thanks for a very timely reminder about the state of my TBR lol
ReplyDeleteHaha, you're welcome!
DeleteI am definitely interested in The Whisper Network! I also am intrigued by the Eliza Hamilton book. I've enjoyed the few other books I've read about her--definitely an interesting person!
ReplyDeleteRight! I've read so many fictional accounts, I think it's time to read a nonfiction!
DeleteI have We Speak in Storms. The few times I have considered reading it, I wasn't in the right head space for heavy topics. I do hope to read it at some point though
ReplyDeleteYeah, it does seem like something I'd have to be in the mood for.
DeleteI've got a few of these on my TBR and actually own a couple of them, unread as yet. I'm wondering if the current times will affect what people are reading for a bit. I suspect so. The thrillers and dystopians may not be popular for a bit. What do you think? LOL
ReplyDeleteI think so, too! I know I've been gravitating towards romance. Just light, fluffy reads.
DeleteGreat cover for We Speak in Storms. And the synopsis definitely sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteRight??
DeleteI read One Night Gone and enjoyed it. Pretty Revenge was pretty good too. Whisper Network sounds good.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I remember seeing Whisper Network around a lot!
DeleteAs usual I have not ready any of these but several of them sound and look really great!
ReplyDeleteHa!
DeleteWhisper Network is one I've been wanting to try. I remember the synopsis reminded me of a more modern 9 to 5 so I was intrigued by it.
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteI don't think I've heard of any of these before. I hope you can get to the ones you decided to keep soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brooke!
DeletePretty Revenge sounds pretty good to me haha! And Tell No One- yeah I might skip that one too although I like that cover!
ReplyDeleteHaha, yeah!
DeleteWhisper Network does sound like an interesting story! Happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lori!
DeleteI did some book purging today, Angela. It felt good to let some go and make space!
ReplyDeleteYes, I love it!
DeleteHere you are getting rid of books! We should support each other in this TBR-madness!
ReplyDeleteHaha, yes!!
