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?
The Six Books:

➽ Before She Ignites (Fallen Isles #1) by Jodi Meadows
Friends, I’ve had this on my list for so long. And I feel bad, because I always say I’m going to buddy read it with my friend Jules! But the only reason this is on my TBR is because I got it in an OwlCrate. It just never jumps out on my bookshelves and makes me want to read it. Let me know if you liked this one, loves! Convince me to keep it!
Verdict: Delete ❌
➽ Pennies (Dollar #1) by Pepper Winters
I hate using this expression, but Pepper Winters is always my “guilty pleasure” read. Her books are so over the top, unrealistic, and have some problematic content always, but I also can’t put them down. I’m sure this one will be no different. And I have so many other romances on my TBR!
Verdict: Delete ❌
➽ Full Tilt (Full Tilt #1) by Emma Scott
This is a book that I really want to read, because I love Emma Scott and everything else I’ve read by her, but I know it’s going to make me an emotional mess. I’m not sure I’m ready, y’all! But this is also never coming off my TBR!
Verdict: Keep ✅
➽ Far From You by Tess Sharpe
This is another amazing Elise recommendation, I’m sure! And I have the highest of hopes that this will be a hard-hitting masterpiece of a book.
Verdict: Keep ✅
➽ King of Scars (Nikolai Duology #1) by Leigh Bardugo
Yeah, I’ve had this on my TBR since September 2017! I have no shame. And wild horses couldn’t keep me away! The hype is real and I have a MIGHTY need for this book!
Verdict: Keep ✅
➽ Tyler Johnson Was Here by Jay Coles
Most beautiful cover in the world, and I have a feeling the inside will be just as beautiful.
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! 🍂🍁

You could wait a couple months until more new releases come out and then start doing it again? I dunno. How long is your TBR?

This is such a cool post. I’m scared that when I do it I’ll come across really embarrassing old books I wanted to read (when I was 13 or 14) and have no interest in now 😂

Haven’t read any of these books yet and have only got Before she Ignites myself, which I’m really curious about! Sorry to read that’s a book you deleted, lol! Really curious about the Emma Scott book and the Tess Sharpe book! I own and read and LOVED Tess Sharpe’s ‘the evolution of Claire’ which is a Jurassic World re-telling and it’s just so freaking amazing so I’ll definitely check out this book written by her as well! Really curious about king of scars, because it looks really intriguing, but I still need to finish reading the Grisha and SoC books, yikes!
