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?
Oh my gosh, this post took me back to a bookstore closing and me, being happy, buying some books super cheap, but also being so sad, because a local bookstore was closing! The rest? The books I’ve been meaning to read forever! And these six have all been on my TBR since mid 2016!
The Six Books:

➽ Malice (The Faithful and the Fallen #1) by John Gwynne
Petrik and Eon never lead me astray, and this is one of their favorite series of all time! I know I’m going to love, I just need more time, friends! Soon, I promise, soon!
Verdict: Keep ✅
➽ The Beekeeper’s Apprentice (Mary Russell & Sherlock Holmes) by Laurie R. King
This is another Winx recommendation! Especially because they are the biggest Sherlock fan, and rave about this particular book a lot! I really think I’m going to love this one.
Verdict: Keep ✅
➽ The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins
Okay, I bought this one a couple years ago when Hastings was going out of business, so I got this really cheap! But everyone I know who has read this says it is one of the scariest things they’ve ever read! Maybe I should read it in October! Would anyone want to buddy read it? I’m a big baby, fair warning!
Verdict: Keep ✅
➽ Food Wars!, Vol. 2 by Yuto Tsukuda, Shun Saeki & Yuki Morisaki
I loved volume one of this so much, I can’t believe I haven’t gotten around to this next installment yet! Seriously, I love this world and these characters! I need more!
Verdict: Keep ✅
➽ Sorcery & Cecelia (Cecelia & Kate #1) by Patricia C. Wrede & Caroline Stevermer
I think this was on my list for the PopSugar Challenge one year? I don’t even know! Hahaha! Let me know if you all have read and enjoyed this one, though!
Verdict: Delete ❌
➽ The Crown’s Game (The Crown’s Game #1) by Evelyn Skye
Oh my gosh, I bought this for clearance at that same Hastings going out of business sale! I actually have heard amazing things about this one, and I’m supposed to buddy read it with Paloma, who makes everything better!
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! 💛✨

I posted this on here and IG and you’re the first person to bring up Library at Mount Char. So… more proven facts that you’re my favorite. I remember seeing someone say it had the scariest scene they’ve ever read before in it? Then I saw it on sale at an indie shop and just couldn’t resist! But maybe I’ll put it on the October TBR now! I love youuu! ❤ xx
