Down the TBR Hole #3

Down the TBR Hole was originally created by Lost in a Story! The point of it is to help cull your reading lists down, or maybe push higher anticipated releases up on your TBR! And maybe you all can help me along the way, and tell me if you’ve loved or hated any of these!

How it works:
➽ Go to your Goodreads 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?

Friends, this is the most random combination of six books ever. I swear, I just start giggling looking at the picture because there is a little something here (or not here, I guess) for everyone! Please, I need your help this week with these random books!

The Six Books:

➽ The Other Man by R.K. Lilley
You all, I know this cover is highly sus as fuck, but it is what it is. I really loved Bad Things, and everything else set in that world, by this author, so I’m guessing that is why this is on my TBR. But I’ll be honest, I don’t even know what this is about. Don’t judge me.
Verdict: Delete ❌

➽ On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King
Oh my gosh! Okay so, every author that I love always recommends this book to aspiring authors. I’ve never had the urge to write a book in my life, but because people like Tarryn Fisher thank this book all the time, I’ve always been intrigued to pick it up!
Verdict: Delete ❌

➽ Lumberjanes, Vol. 1: Beware the Kitten Holy
I’m like 99% sure I read this, but I didn’t love this. Maybe that’s why it is still on my TBR? Maybe I didn’t finish it? I do own this graphic novel. Maybe because everyone loves it so much I just didn’t want to rain on their parade? I honestly don’t know why this is on my TBR! Why am I like this?
Verdict: Delete ❌

➽ Winter (The Lunar Chronicles #4) by Marissa Meyer
If you all have followed my blog and reviews for some time, then you might know that I’m the only human in this Earth that doesn’t love this series. I actually one starred Cinder. But I kept trying, because it is so beloved, but I’m not sure if I can tackle this behemoth too. But then again, I have made it this far, I should just buy the audiobook and force myself.
Verdict: Keep (begrudgingly) ✅

➽ Dark Citadel (Masters of the Shadowlands #2) by Cherise Sinclair
Holy shit, two sus covers in one Down the TBR Hole post? It looks like I four starred book one back in 2014, so I guess my pervy ass just wanted to read more.
Verdict: Delete ❌

➽ Wildwood Dancing (Wildwood #1) by Juliet Marillier
I have read a few books by Juliet Marillier and I’m always so impressed with her worlds, her characters, and her writing. I wish I had more free time to read for pure enjoyment, because I’d honestly pick up Juliet Marillier’s entire backlist.
Verdict: Keep ✅

Okay, friends, these are the next oldest six books I have on my TBR! Let me know if you love, hate, and/or recommend me to read or trash any of these books! Thank you all so much, and I hope whatever you’re currently reading is five star worthy! 💛✨
