Down The TBR Hole #14: Conquer your TBR

Posted on by bostonbookreader

I saw the most AMAZING post from LOST IN A STORY with the most AMAZING idea to help cut down my ridiculously large TBR! Thank you so much for creating this post!!

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS: (straight from original post)

  • 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?

Every week I will be going through 10 books on my Goodreads TBR and purging as many as I feel comfortable with. Most likely these posts will go up on a Wednesday. Currently I have 300 to go through and this number is always being added to, so hopefully this will help a lot. Here are my next ten books!

THE BOOKS:

HOW I LIVE NOW BY MEG ROSOFF

  9. I’ve read How I Live Now (liked the movie better) and Rebel Belle which was good but the sequels were not the best lol. I also really want to read White Hot Kiss because I love Jennifer!

  12. I still need to read the fourth book in the Unwind Dystology. I haven’t gotten around to it either. At this point I’m going to have to reread the whole series to remember what happened.

  14. So Rebel Belle was pretty good….the other 2 in that series…….. I’ve read book 2 and wasn’t impressed, not even sure i’ll read book 3 at this point. It would’ve been better as a standalone imo. Great list!

  22. I started the Unwind series, too, and I really loved the first book but still haven’t continued! And I’ve been wanting to read Never Let Me Go for quite a while
