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:
UNTITLED (SIX OF CROWS #3) BY LEIGH BARDUGO
I love Leigh way too much to get rid of any of her books!
THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
EMERGENCY CONTACT BY MARY H.K. CHOI
I’m very interested in this one still.

LITTLE DO WE KNOW BY TAMARA IRELAND STONE

THE PROPOSAL BY JASMINE GUILLORY

WILDCARD BY MARIE LU

THE JUDGMENT: KEEP
WAYWARD SON BY RAINBOW ROWELL

This week I chose to keep 9/10 books. OH PLEASE! I LITERALLY ONLY HAVE ONE MORE WEEK LEFT, THIS IS TOO HARD TO DO!!! HAHAHA
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!!

Awesome! I agree, I’d keep most of those too! I struggle with kicking sequels/series off my list if I haven’t read the previous ones but I sort of hoard series.

Good job getting rid of one at least haha. I love Jodi Picoult as well! I need to read the last book she published though before reading this one.

Haha you so cheated on this one! But that’s logical. Like these are the books you added the most recently. I’d expect you to have added them for a reason. So even if you kept all 10 it would be understandable
