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 am going to remove sequels for books when I haven’t read book one. They may or may not get added back later.
Since I was to all the recent books, I decided to go back to the beginning of my TBR and remove a lot of older books I kept the first time around.
Shallow Graves
The Anatomical Shape of the Heart
For the Record
All the Bright Places
When We Collided
Keeping:
Forever Red
Jackaby
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Infinite In Between
The Haters
Keeping:
I kept 3 and removed 7 this week.
Aw not into reading all the bright places? I loved that one when I read it couple of years ago. I love the cover of For the record! I need to go check out that one

I kind of lost interest in it and it’s not really the type of book I generally pick up. It’s possible I’ll want to read it again in the future though.

That’s fair! I tend to pick up more depressive books while in a depressive episode, ahah 😅

It’s always good to clear your TBR list. I have tons of books I’ve put on mine over the years that I just can’t get to. Natalie @ Literary Rambles

I keep doing this and finding that I’ve lost interest in a lot.
