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:
Let Me Lie by Claire Mackintosh
I have a copy of this to review.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
Enclave by Ann Aguire
This one has been on my radar way too long and I’ve yet to reach for it.
THE JUDGMENT: BYE
Did I Mention I Love You by Estelle Maskime
I won a copy of this one in a twitter giveaway and still want to read it 🙂
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton
There’s been a bunch of drama set around this one, but I want to read it myself.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
Batman: Nightwalker by Marie Lu
I love Marie Lu, and I loved Wonder Woman!
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
The Diminished by Kaitlyn Sage Patterson
I’ve got a lot of this genre on here.
THE JUDGMENT: BYE
Surprise Me by Sophie Kinsella
I have a copy of this to review.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
The Last Namasara by Kristen Ciccarelli
This is one of my must reads of this year.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
Otherworld by Jason Segal
I started this during a readathon, but put it down for some reason…
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
American Panda by Gloria Chao
I’m really looking forward to this one!
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
This week I chose to keep 8/10 books. That’s not too bad considering I have maybe two more pages of books left on my Goodreads TBR list 🙂
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!!
Yay so excited to see what you think of Batman. I’m in the same boat with the drama surrounding the Belle’s.

What I always find fascinating about these posts is that none of the books on your list are on mine too (until I am tempted to add them). Just goes to show all the books waiting for me in the world!
