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?
A woman believes she escaped a killer years ago, but worries he has returned - or is she paranoid and delusional like her mother? I love a good unreliable narrator, but this thriller isn't grabbing me. Pass!
Years after a tragic school shooting, two friends try to move on. The ripped-from-the-headlines feel of this book is appealing, although the subject matter is unfortunately something too many of us can relate to. Keep!
Even though her mother faked Rose Gold's illness for her entire childhood, she takes her mother in after a stint in prison. I feel like I've been drawn to this title and cover for months without ever really knowing what the book was about - but I am here for this! Keep!
Five years ago, a woman's husband disappeared, leaving her with tons of questions. Now that he has been officially declared dead, she thinks he may be back. This thriller just doesn't seem that unique to me - pass!
A dual timeline story that partially takes place in Champagne, France, during WWII. I can't resist WWI historical fiction, so definitely keeping this one!
A prequel to the classic story Dracula, this book explores Dracula's origins from the point of view of Bram Stoker. I've never actually read the original, but this sounds like it could be a fun one to read around Halloween! Keep!
This story follows a parent and teacher as they each struggle with personal crises surrounding a privileged high school. This sounds like it has a lot of potential - keep!
Have you read any of these?
I remember seeing Dracul so much when it was released. I didn't bother with it though since I never really read Dracula.
ReplyDeleteI've been hoping to do this feature. Should really get to it soon.
It's really been a helpful feature!
DeleteDarling Rose Gold is one that is on my TBR too -- the plot sounds so good! I'm also curious about Dracul from the POV of Stoker.
ReplyDeleteI know, they both sound so good!
DeleteI haven't read these but The Winemaker's Wife is one that I would keep too. :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds really good!
DeleteEvery Moment After is still on my TBR too. It sounds emotional and moving. I saw good reviews too.
ReplyDeleteI haven't really seen any reviews, but I hope we both enjoy it!
DeleteDarling Rose Gold sounds interesting. And The Winemaker's Wife sounds right up my alley.
ReplyDeleteI love historical fiction, so I'm excited for that one.
DeleteI've read The Look Alike, The Winemaker's Wife, and Minor Dramas & Other Catastrophes. All three were pretty good, but you're not really missing anything by passing on The Look Alike. It's a pretty run of the mill thriller.
ReplyDeleteThat's kind of what I figured!
DeleteMinor Dramas does sound promising!
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteI cannot recommend the original Dracula enough. Dracul is also on my TBR.
ReplyDeleteAwesome to hear!
