Book List | Down the TBR Hole #4

~ readwithallison ~ Leave a comment

Welcome to another edition of Down the TBR Hole! This will be the fourth month that I have attempted to clean up my TBR list on Goodreads.

So basically the idea is to clean up your Goodreads TBR because we are all guilty of adding books to Goodreads and before you know it, there are 200 books on your list and you don’t even remember what a third of them are about!

How it works:

  • Go to your Goodreads want-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?

Book List | Down the TBR Hole #3

Back to cleaning up my Goodreads account! I briefly considered deleting my entire account and starting fresh, but they seemed like a lot of work, plus I would have to follow everyone again. Too much. Instead, I decided to do another Down the TBR Hole post and keep chipping away at the books on my TBR list. Today I will be choosing 10 books instead of the standard 5 books.

It has been two months since I did a Down the TBR Hole post! My intentions were too clean up my Goodreads account each month, and then I forgot about this post! I will try to do better with keeping up with this!

To update from the August post: I kept House of Leaves by Mark. Z Danielewski and Pines by Blake Crouch on my TBR list. I am leaving both books for now because I am still interested in them, I just have not had the time to read either!

I stumbled across this post at Just Read Them and loved the idea because I have been wanting to clean up my Goodreads account for awhile! The original post was created by Lost In A Story.

I think I will be doing this monthly and will try to read at least one of the books that I kept on my TBR shelf that month. So hopefully by December, my Goodreads account will be a little more organized and have a more manageable TBR! So let’s get started!
