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’ve had Daughter of the Burning City on my tbr for ages but I’ve decided to take it off as I’m not a huge fan of circus books and I’ve never once had the temptation to pick it up. Luckily I received my copy in a subscription box so I don’t feel terrible about it.

I have it, and I think I have since it came out. I ended up reading Amanda’s other books first, but I’ll eventually get to this one.

Removing everything that isn’t the first book in the series is a great way to get your TBR down haha I do the same thing 😀

It’s been helpful. I’m not sure I did that in my early down the tbr hole posts. I’ll find them later if I ever make my way back to the beginning.
