Down The TBR Hole looks like a fun way to sort through my tbr and get rid of those books that have been on there for way to long.
Down The TBR Hole is a bookish meme created by Lia @ Lost In A Story.
It works like this:
- Go to your goodreads to-read shelf.
- Order on ascending date added.
- Take the first 5 (or 10 (or even more!) if you’re feeling adventurous) books. Of course, if you do this weekly, you start where you left off the last time.
- Read the synopses of the books
- Decide: keep it or should it go?
Let’s get started!

The Books
Date added to my tbr shelf: October 13th, 2015
My Thoughts: I added Breaking Him after reading the Tristan and Danika series. There was so much hype surrounding around this book at the time, I couldn’t help but not jump on the hype train. Now though, I don’t see myself reaching for this book anytime soon.
Verdict: Remove
Date added to my tbr shelf: November 24th, 2015
My Thoughts: The Score is a novel I added because at the time I was obsessed with all sports romances. I remember reading The Deal and absolutely loving it so this is a definite keep on my TBR list.
Verdict: Keep
Date added to my tbr shelf: November 24th, 2015
My Thoughts: Aced is the fourth novel in the driven series. I read the first three books in this series but I haven’t read Aced yet? Hmm…. what the hell is wrong with me!!! Definitely keeping this one on my tbr and one day I’ll get to it!
Verdict: Keep
Date added to my tbr shelf: November 24th, 2015
My Thoughts: I need more Tillie Cole in my life. Sweet Soul sounds like another great emotionally angsty read. I’m pretty sure I’ll be giving Levi and Elsie another shot on my TBR.
Verdict: Keep
Date added to my tbr shelf: November 27th, 2015
My Thoughts: Dirty English is another novel I added to my tbr because of the hype and because the blurb leads me to believe its a fighter romance and I love me some alpha fighters. Sadly though, I’ve had this novel on my kindle but I never reach for it. So I’m going to remove it from my tbr.
Verdict: Remove
Date added to my tbr shelf: November 27th, 2015
My Thoughts: Sacked is yet another novel I added because of the hype and my sports romance addiction. Sadly, I don’t see myself reaching for this novel in the future.
Verdict: Remove
Date added to my tbr shelf: December 16, 2015
My Thoughts: At the time Misconduct made its way onto my tbr, I found this novel intriguing. Today, I still find the blurb intriguing and the more I read from Penelope Douglas the more I love.
Verdict: Keep
Date added to my tbr shelf: January 26th, 2016
My Thoughts: Ruin & Rule was added to my tbr soon after I was swept away with the SOA craze. I wanted and needed everything MC. I love a good mystery and this blurb is so freaking mysterious. I cannot wait to pick this novel up and give it a read!
Verdict: Keep
Date added to my tbr shelf: January 26th, 2016
My Thoughts: I had no idea I added The Other Man to my tbr.
Verdict: Remove
Date added to my tbr shelf: February 20th, 2016
My Thoughts: Out of all the books on today’s list, I am most shocked to see Logan Kade by Tijan still on my tbr!? WHAT THE HELL!?! Logan Kade is one of my favorite characters from the Fallen Crest High series…I’m completely shocked right now!
Verdict: Keep
WOW. I didn’t realize removing books from my tbr was going to be so difficult. Overall, I feel good about myself and this tbr cleansing process. I let go of 4 out of the 10 books on my list.
Let me know in the comments if you’ve read any of the books on my list and if you’d keep them or Let them go. I’m curious to see if the choices I made were good ones!
Peace Love and Happy Reading,
