Down The TBR Hole #31: 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:

THE FOUR AGREEMENTS BY MIGUEL RUIZ

THE JUDGMENT: KEEP

THE CELESTINE PROPHECY BY JAMES REDFIELD

This week I chose to keep 7/10 books. It’s hard when a lot are review books or spiritual growth books for me lol.

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!!

    1. Honestly lia came up with an amazing idea when she thought of creating this post! I’m looking forward to getting to the Celestine Prophecy so many people I know have told me how life changing it is.

  11. This is an amazing idea! Personally, my Goodreads TBR only has a few books on. Early last year I cleared it out completely and tbh, I don’t really add books to it anymore. I only use GR to keep track of the books I’ve read. But for anyone who’s GR tbh is overflowing, this is a great way to clear it out. Also, if you remove a book and don’t think about it again, clearly you didn’t wanna read it THAT much to start with! xxx

    1. Exactly!!! There are so many books I got rid of off of my list and never thought about again! A few have been nagging at me so I may just add those ones back, because clearly they want to be read lol I’m in awe of the fact that you cleared your GR TBR shelf 😍😍

  18. This is a great idea, I have way to many books on my TBR. I also have a stack of unread books in my room that I need to get reading!! I haven’t heard of these books you mentioned, might look them up!
