Down The TBR Hole is a a book meme created by Lia @ Lost In A Story that revolves around cleansing your TBR of all those books you’re never going to read and sorting through it all to know what’s actually on there.
It works like this:
1. Go to your Goodreads to-read shelf.
2. Order on ascending date added.
3. Take the first 5* (or more) books. Of course, if you do this weekly, you start where you left off the last time.
4. Read the synopses of the books
5. Decide: keep it or should it go?
*I decided to take 4 books at a time because my TBR luckily isn't that long...yet.

My Mechanical Romance sounds like the perfect cutesy STEM romance, and of course, I'm keeping that! You can never have enough of fluffy romances 😂
I've always been into retellings and Alice in Wonderland ones are especially intriguing because the world itself is already crazy so making an even crazier one must be fun. That's why I'm keeping The Wonderland Trials 😄
Last on this list is The Girl In The Castle, a fascinating psychological thriller about a girl who claims to have come from the past, but she's stuck as a patient at a mental institution, so no one believes her. Very interesting indeed.

While there isn't anything that bad about this book, it's just that when I read the synopsis again, I felt absolutely zero interest. Add to that the fact that I read several reviews and most of them mentioned how annoying the main character is. So yeah, sorry not sorry, Gideon Green In Black and White I'll have to bid you goodbye.
This time I only got rid of one book but that's okay, the main thing is that I keep doing this from time to time and my TBR will surely somehow get smaller😂

💬 Have you read any of these books? Do you have positive or negative thoughts? Feel free to share! 💬

Omg I remember when My Mechanical Romance first came out I was like, "My Chemical Romance?" No, no, no. That's just me being my usual emo self 😂
ReplyDeleteHow are you doing progress wise? How far into your TBR are you with this meme?
hahahah I guess the author is a tad bit emo as well 😂
DeleteTBH I completely forgot to do this meme (this is only my 3rd time on this blog) but I did get rid of a lot of books in the past few months, I just didn't have energy to talk about them here 😂 If I did it correctly, at least once/twice a month, I'd make reasonable progress.
Last time I did this, on my old blog many years ago - I got from 400 to 300 books on my TBR over the course of some time, so I guess it was effective 😄
