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 Nowhere Girls by Amy Reed
I’m looking forward to this one still.
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
Outsider by Stephen King
SK…..
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia
I haven’t heard one bad thing about this one.

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!!
What a great idea! I honestly haven’t cut down my tbr pile at all, I just add to it and never reduce it which is probably a problem. Maybe it’s time to Spring clean this of all things!
