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:
THE DANCE DRAGON BY DAN LOGAN
I personally know the author of this one and attended ballroom dancing at the same studio and time he did, so I will for sure be getting to this one.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
THE MIDNIGHT DANCE BY NIKKI KATZ
I don’t remember adding this one to be honest lol
THE JUDGMENT: BYE
GODSGRAVE BY JAY KRISTOFF
Jay Kristoff, need I say more.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
MENTAL BY JAMIE LOWE
I have an eARC of this one to review so it will be read.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
THE COLOR PROJECT BY SIERRA ABRAMS
I always love reading books by other bloggers!
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
THIS DARKNESS MINE BY MINDY MCGINNIS
I have an eARC of this one to review so it will be read.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
BREATHING LOVE BY JENNIE LEE
I have an eARC of this one to review so it will be read.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
365 DAYS OF CRYSTAL MAGIC BY SANDRA KYNES
I have an eARC of this one to review so it will be read.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
IF YOU KNEW MY SISTER BY MICHELLE ADAMS
I have an eARC of this one to review so it will be read.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
NYXIA BY SCOTT REINTGEN
I was sent a copy of this one for review and I REALLY NEED to get to it!!
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
This week I chose to keep 9/10 books. This one was tough because most I was sent for review and will definitely be reading.
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!!
Its like you need Arc August but sooner. You should do Arc April just to start making a dent in your arcs. Hey at least you got rid of one.
