Down the TBR Hole was originally created by Lia of Lost in a Story.
Before the year ends, I want to start fixing my TBR because I want to focus more on the books/e-books I already owned. Currently, I have 1,650 books on my Goodreads TBR (I know… it’s too much) and I think it’s time for me to say goodbye to some books that I am not really 100% into. Also, I want to give more space to all anticipated releases that I want to read.
How it works?
- 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?
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
I don’t own a copy of this book until today but I already watched the movie. It’s on my TBR list since 2012, I guess it’s time to let it go now. For real.
Verdict? REMOVE ✘
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
My boyfriend gave me a few John Green’s hardcover books as a Christmas gift four years ago and The Fault in Our Stars was one of those. Unfortunately, I haven’t read it yet until now because I’ve already watched the movie and it was too painful for me. I have a feeling that the pain will grow once I read the book. I am more vulnerable in reading than watching sad stories. Hopefully, I’ll find the courage to pick this book and read it anytime soon.
Verdict? KEEP ✓
The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han
It’s on my TBR for four years already but it’s Jenny Han!!! So no more explanation needed.
Verdict? KEEP ✓
Inferno by Dan Brown
I DNF this book two years ago but it doesn’t mean that I don’t like it anymore. It was more like I was so busy (major plates, requirements, organizations, etc) that I barely have time to read books. I might go back into this book one day.
Verdict? KEEP ✓
Overbite by Meg Cabot
As much as I love Meg Cabot for creating Princess Mia, I think this book will no longer work for me.

I am the opposite. I am more vulnerable when I watch something sad then when I read it. I have cried reading a book but it takes a lot to get me to cry while when I’m watching something the littlest thing makes me cry.
