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.

Woo, well done on removing 13! I’m hoping to kick more books of my TBR tomorrow and hopefully it’ll be just as easy as I found it the first time last week 😂 Love the books you kept– the Saints and Misfits cover is 😍

That is a HUGE removal but I’m really really glad you kept All American Boys. I saw them speak at one of the last educational conferences I went to and it was jaw dropping.

I wish I could have heard them speak. I’ve been meaning to read that one for awhile. It just tends to get pushed back. Hopefully soon though.

They were really fantastic. They told true stories about times they both got pulled over by cops as teens and the stark contrasts of how different each experience was… it was just gut wrenching

I can only imagine. I probably would have been crying while they spoke.

Good job! I really should start doing this, because I have A Lot of books on my TBR and I think I don’t even remember how 60% of them got there. It’s a terrible mess.
Hope you like Renegades, I thought it was cool 🙂

Thank you. I honestly don’t remember why I added half the books I did to my TBR.
