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:
SILVER BAY BY JOJO MOYES
I’m gonna pass on this one.
THE JUDGMENT: BYE
SCRAPPY LITTLE NOBODY BY ANNA KENDRICK
I’m not in the mood for this type of book at the moment.
THE JUDGMENT: BYE
A WEDDING IN MAINE BY JEN MCLAUGHLIN
I don’t remember the first book, and I don’t feel like rereading it lol
THE JUDGMENT: BYE
THE LOVE THAT SPLIT THE WORLD BY EMILY HENRY
Just not feeling this book right now.
THE JUDGMENT: BYE
THE NAMES THEY GAVE US BY EMERY LORD
Emery is one of my favorite authors and I’ve heard such great things about this one.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
LOVE IN THE ASYLUM BY LISA CAREY
This one is out.
THE JUDGMENT: BYE
RINGER BY LAUREN OLIVER
I’m waiting for a hold at the library for this one.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
DON’T YOU CRY BY MARY KUBICA
I have a bunch of thrillers so this one can go.
THE JUDGMENT: BYE
FLAME IN THE MIST BY RENÉE AHDIEH
Just not in the mood for this one right now.
THE JUDGMENT: BYE
JOHN DIES @ THE END BY DAVID WONG
Don’t even remember this one being added lol
THE JUDGMENT: BYE
This week I chose to keep 2/10 books. Decided to be extremely cut throat this week! lolol
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!!
I’m sad to see Flame in the Mist go but you did a good job getting rid of books! 🙂
