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:
PERFECT CHEMISTRY BY SIMONE ELKELES
I’m not interested in this one.
THE JUDGMENT: BYE
P.S. I STILL LOVE YOU BY JENNY HAN
I loved To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before so I definitely want to continue.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
SINCE YOU’VE BEEN GONE BY MORGAN MATSON
I really enjoy Morgan’s books so this is a keeper.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
NEVER FADE BY ALEXANDRA BRACKEN
I loved The Darkest Minds so I do want to continue!
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
KEEPING THE MOON BY SARAH DESSEN
Another of Sarah’s books I want to get to.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
THAT SUMMER BY SARAH DESSEN
Oh Sarah you aren’t going anywhere.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
ALIENATED BY MELISSA LANDERS
This synopsis doesn’t appeal to me anymore.
THE JUDGMENT: BYE
MADE FOR YOU BY MELISSA MARR
I’m not in the mood for this one anymore.
THE JUDGMENT: BYE
THE RITHMATIST BY BRANDON SANDERSON
I haven’t read a book by him yet, and this would be a good place to start.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
I HUNT KILLERS BY BARRY LYGA
Though this book sounds really good, I have a lot of thrillers already on my TBR.
THE JUDGMENT: BYE
This week I chose to keep only 6/10 books. Not bad!
If you like this idea please go to LOST IN A STORY’S blog post, show some love, and let her know you are joining in!!
Really great idea I need to get back into reading more I have definitely not been reading as much as I used to before.

I listened to keeping the moon and thought it was really good. I enjoyed the narrator for it so if you want to pick it up via audio I would recommend. Good job knocking a few off your tbr.

I think I definitely need to cut down on my TBR list. It’s getting ridiculous, especially when I have lists of books that aren’t on my GR account. I’ll definitely try this post out!
