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 word, this is a damn combination of books! Holy moly! Some of these I want to read so bad, and I wish I didn’t have 200+ books on my TBR so that I could dive into them immediately! And one of these makes me feel so much shame!
The Six Books:

➽ Assassin’s Fate (The Fitz and The Fool Trilogy #3) by Robin Hobb
You all, don’t judge me. Please! But I have an eARC of this book, which is actually book twelve in this damn series! So, that’s why it is on my TBR, even though I’ve only read book one! One day, ya’ll, I just need more time!
Verdict: Keep ✅
➽ Into the Forest by Jean Hegland
I don’t even know what this book is really about, except that it’s two sisters that live off the land, I think. Someone was raving about it, and then I looked it up and saw the cover and fell instantly in love. Have you read this?
Verdict: Keep ✅
➽ Blackbringer (Faeries of Dreamdark #1) by Laini Taylor
This was the only book I wanted for Christmas 2016! And I was blessed enough to get it! I believe this series isn’t finished, with only two books that were published, but I know that they are somewhat hard to get your hands on. At least, in good condition. But I want to read any and every single thing by Laini Taylor, so here we are!
Verdict: Keep ✅
➽ Misbehaved by Charleigh Rose
Oh my word, I can’t even believe this is still on my TBR! So, everyone was losing their shit over this new “ghost” team writers who created this book. But apparently one left, and one stayed for the next book, which I read and hated! So now I don’t think I want to touch anything else by them, even if this was before their duo-ship took a turn.
Verdict: Delete ❌
➽ Children of Earth and Sky by Guy Gavriel Kay
The publisher sent me this unsolicited when they were releasing the paperback version of this story! Again, I’ve never read anything by Guy Gavriel Kay before! So, you all should let me know what you recommend to start with!
Verdict: Keep ✅
➽ Queens of Geek by Jen Wilde
This is supposed to have some amazing rep, from sexuality, to race, to mental health, to disabilities; this is just supposed to be a world of good! And I believe it is set at a convention, and that’s pretty amazing, too! I really should pick this up soon!
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! 💛🎃👻

If you’ve never read Guy Gavriel Kay before, I would recommend starting with either The Lions Of Al-Rassan or Tigana.

I adored Blackbringer, it’s such a lovely, whimsical story! I haven’t read the second one though, cause it’s so hard to find. Into the Forest sounds really interesting and the cover’s gorgeous, very autumnal 🍂😊
