Down the TBR Hole is a meme hosted by Lost in a Story that revolves around clearing your TBR of all those books you’re never going to read and sort through it all to know what’s actually on there.

I’m still at the beginning of my TBR so these are books I added when I was around 18 and oh my lord, my reading tastes have clearly changed a lot since then. I’m 26 now so 8 years definitely makes a huge difference!

Here’s how it works:

– 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?

Vision in White by Nora Roberts
First of all, I’ve always wanted to read a Nora Roberts book. I’m curious to see why she’s such a well known author that has sold a bazillion books. And this one sounds pretty cute. Verdict: staying on the list

Another Piece of My Heart by Jane Green
The synopsis kind of makes the daughter sound like a psycho from a thriller novel. But this is supposed to be women’s fiction. Verdict: leaving the list

Rescue Me by Rachel Gibson
Oh I like the sound of this one! It seems like it’s going to start off as fake dating and that is one of my favourite tropes. Verdict: staying on the list

Sixteenth Summer by Michelle Dalton
Yes. Absolutely yes. This is one of those YA summer reads featuring a beach town and I am an absolute sucker for those. Sign me up. Verdict: staying on the list

Breathing by Cheryl Renee Herbsman
Nope. This is one big nope. Anything that sounds like “I met this boy and he cured all my issues” is a big no thank you in my books. Verdict: leaving the list

Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin
This has been one of my favourite movies for the longest time so this is absolutely staying on my TBR. I’ve owned it forever too. Have to get to it one day, right? Verdict: staying on the list

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love the One You’re With by Emily Giffin
Baby Proof by Emily Giffin
Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin
Where We Belongby Emily Giffin
They all sound fine. I’m sure they’d be decent 3.5 star reads, but considering how many books are on my TBR, there are so many others that I would prefer to read over these books. They just seem very average to me. Verdict: leaving the list

One Day by David Nicholls
I don’t know why but this book gives me Normal People vibes so I bet this book is going to tear my heart out and stomp on all the tiny pieces. Sign me up. Verdict: staying on the list

 

 

Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini
Thanks but no thanks. The synopsis does abosolutely nothing for me. Verdict: leaving the list

 

 

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
I still refuse to watch the movie a second time to this day because I cried so much. But will I eventually read this even though it is 100% guaranteed to rip my heart out? Sure, why not. Verdict: staying on the list

 

 

Paper Towns by John Green
I’m sure I would have loved this as a young adult, but now there’s nothing about it that seems appealing to me. Verdict: leaving the list

 

 

Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James
18 year old me is ashamed. ASHAMED. That’s all I have to say about that. Verdict: leaving the list

Entwined by Heather Dixon Wallwork
This is one of those blurbs that don’t give away too much about the book. Normally, those intrigue me to want to read the book so I can know what the story is about, but in this case, not so much. Verdict: leaving the list

 

 

Clean by Amy Reed
A story about addicts in rehab who need to confront their demons? Yes please. Sign me and my fucked up brain up for all the dark novels. Verdict: staying on the list

 

 

Sloppy Firsts by Megan McCafferty
This sounds like the 90s teen book my soul needs. I mean it came out in 2001, but whatever. Details. If this was a movie, I can guarantee I would have loved it. Verdict: staying on the list

 

 

Bumped by Megan McCafferty
I’m sure if I would have picked this up when I first heard of this book I would have enjoyed it, but dystopian novels just really aren’t my thing anymore. Verdict: leaving the list

 

 

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
Listen, I don’t even need to read the synopsis to know that I will pick up anything Maggie Stiefvater writes based on The Raven Boys alone. Verdict: staying on the list

 

 

The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
See above. Verdict: staying on the list

 

 

 

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Yes, yes, I know. I should be ashamed I haven’t read this yet considering the 2005 version is one of my favourite movies ever and I own two copies of this book. Verdict: staying on the list

 

 

A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
Another classic I have sitting around my apartment, but haven’t read yet. I swear one day I will, I’m just never in the classic mood. You guys totally get that, right? Verdict: staying on the list

 

 

Along Came a Spider by James Patterson
I really wanted to read this when I was younger, but apparently he’s not that great of a writer and there’s like 20 books in the Alex Cross series. How can there be 20 books? There’s no way there’s that much to write about I’m sorry. Verdict: leaving the list

 

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
Oh look, another classic I haven’t read. One day. Verdict: staying on the list
