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:
ALL THE CROOKED SAINTS BY MAGGIE STIEFVATER
I’m gonna let this one go.
THE JUDGMENT: BYE
DRAGONS OF NOVA BY ELISE KOVA
Definitely keeping this one, I loved The Alchemists of Loom!
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
REBELS OF GOLD BY ELISE KOVA
Might be cheating a bit here but letting this one go because I haven’t read the second book yet. lol
THE JUDGMENT: BYE
FIRST COME FOREVER BY ANNIE WOODS
I’m not feeling this one right now.
THE JUDGMENT: BYE
DAUGHTER OF THE BURNING CITY BY AMANDA FOODY
I got this one recently from a Kindle deal so keeping it around.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
TIME BOMB BY JOELLE CHARBONNEAU
I have an eARC of this one for review.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
THE ELIZAS BY SARA SHEPARD
I have an eARC of this one for review.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
CHILDREN OF BLOOD AND BONE BY TOMI ADEYEMI
I’m highly anticipating this one!!
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
INKMISTRESS BY AUDREY COULTHRUST
I have an eARC of this one for review.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
HOW TO DISAPPEAR BY SHARON HUSS ROAT
I’m just gonna let go of this one for now.
THE JUDGMENT: BYE
This week I chose to keep 6/10 books. I’m considering this week a success!!!
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!!

Great job! Several of these are on my TBR, including one you got rid of (First Come Forever). I don’t remember who in the pod reviewed it, but it sounded good. I need to read Elise Kova soon!

Great job removing books from your list! I’m a little disappointed you took First Came Forever off your list as I really liked that one, but if you’re not feeling it then there isn’t a point of keeping it. I can’t wait to read Children of Blood and Bone either!

You have so many books! I have a rule with myself that I won’t buy a new book without reading the older one I bought to read. Some of these look really good though! Thank you for sharing 🌸✨
