Yes, that is 100 Down the TBR Holes done and I still have so many books left to go through.
Down The TBR Hole is a meme created by lost in a story that revolves around cleansing your TBR of all those books you’re never going to read and sort through it all to know what’s actually on there.
Most of you probably know this feeling, your Goodreads TBR pile keeps growing and growing and it seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. You keep adding, but you add more than you actually read. And then when you’re scrolling through your list, you realize that you have no idea what half the books are about and why you added them. Well that’s going to change!
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
I’m going to start doing these a little differently to save picture space/time. I’ll still list all 15-20 books, but I’m only going to add a few pictures. It will likely be the books I’m keeping unless there are none for the week. Then I’ll add a few random ones so it’s not super boring.

It’s so hard to cut out books, but since my TBR has almost 2000 books, I need to start prioritizing better. I’m not doing well though because I add as many as I remove.

This meme is the only I have seen yet that requires ACTUAL work to be honest! 🤣🤣 Sorting Goodreads shelves is a bitch! Feels soo good while we are on a roll and tapping that ‘WANT TO READ’ button as if it was a fine piece of ass! 🤣 But damn do we regret our life choices when it fills up the neck with books that we actually never had any intention of reading in the first place!
I APPLAUD YOU FOR HAVING DONE 100 OF THESE! *gasp* I only did one and that was quite enough! 🤣🤣

Thank you! This one is a lot of work. I generally do 4-5 at a time and schedule them. It’s so time consuming though.

I read three dark crowns this summer, it was definitely an interesting read! Very curious to the sequel!
I’m very curious to how many books there were on your TBR when you started, if you go through this many everytime and you’re already at 100!!

I was over 2000 when I started. Even though I remove a lot every week, I add a lot, too. So I’m still close to 2000. It helps me remove some that I probably won’t get to though.

I’m horrible. Any time something sounds even a little interesting, I add it. I’ve been trying to get better, but mostly failing.
