Down The TBR Hole | Round 9

Down The TBR Hole is a meme created by Lost In A Story in which you attempt to reduce your Goodreads TBR. It basically involves organising your Goodreads 'Want To Read' shelf by date from oldest to newest, looking at the first 5-10 books and decided whether you're still interested or not.

Take A Bow by Elizabeth Eulberg

This is a book I feel like I would have loved a few years ago. It follows a group of teens at  performing arts school and the challenges that come with trying to make it in that world. I love books set in schools and I have always had an interest in performing arts. However, I think I have grown out of this book now.



Judgement: Go

Maybe One Day by Melissa Kantor

From the synopsis alone, this sounds like the kind of book I would reach for. It is about two best friends and how they deal with one of them getting sick. This sounds like the kind of emotional contemporary I could fall in love with. The one thing that makes me question keeping this on my TBR is the reviews. A lot of the Goodreads reviews are people who had to DNF it, which is a bit worrying. I don't think I'll dismiss it just yet.


Judgement: Stay


My Best Friend's Girl by Dorothy Koomson

This one sounds really interesting. It follows to college best friends whose friendship was ruined when one slept with the other's fiance. When they reunite years later, the betrayed friend is asked to adopt her friend's daughter. It is an intriguing premise but it is not a book I can see myself picking up over the many others I want to read.



Judgement: Go


The Truth About Alice by Jennifer Mathieu

This is a book I heard so many great things about back when it was first published in 2014. From what I can tell it is basically a story about high school rumours. There are rumours being spread about Alice that go too far after a boy dies in a car accident. This definitely sounds like a book I would enjoy.



Judgement: Stay


My Last Kiss by Bethany Neal

This follows a girl who dies on the night of her seventeenth birthday party but believes it was not a suicide like everyone has assumed. She now has to uncover the truth behind her death and the mystery surrounding her last kiss with possibly the wrong boy. This is another one that I think I would have really enjoyed a couple of years ago but doesn't really excite me anymore. I don't see myself ever picking this one up.


Judgement: Go


There we have it, another three books taken off my TBR. I am really enjoying looking back at the books I added to Goodreads as far back as 2014, I am discovering books I had completely forgotten about.

Have you read either of the books I am keeping? Have I made the right decisions?
